SYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLING WORK MACHINE POWER

摘要

A method is provided for controlling power provided by a drive train system (252) of a work machine (200), which includes an engine (230) that provides engine power to a generator (240) that, in turn, provides generator power to a motor (250). The motor (250) provides ground power to a travel mechanism (255) that enables the work machine (200) to travel across a terrain surface. In one embodiment, the method includes adjusting operation of the motor (250) based on a determined ground speed of the work machine (200). Based on the adjusted motor operations, the operation of the generator (250) is adjusted. Also, the operation of the engine (230) is adjusted such that the engine produces an amount of engine power that meets a load demand corresponding to the adjusted. Also, the operation of the engine (230) is adjusted such that the engine produces an amount of engine power that meets a load demand corresponding to the adjusted operation of the generator (240).
