摘要

A control system for operating a diesel powered system having at least one diesel-fueled power generating unit, the system including a mission optimizer that determines at least one setting be used by the diesel-fueled power generating unit, a converter that receives at least one of information that is to be used by the diesel-fueled power generating unit and converts the information to an acceptable signal a sensor to collect at least one operational data from the diesel powered system that is communicated to the mission optimizer, and a communication system that provides for a closed control loop between the mission optimizer, converter, and sensor.
