US Patent 10215665 System and method to model power output of an engine

A system includes an engine configured to generate power to drive a load. The system also includes a power augmentation system configured to augment a power output of the engine when the power augmentation system is activated. Additionally, the system includes a controller operatively coupled to the power augmentation system. The controller is configured to estimate a potential change in the power output of the engine caused by activation of the power augmentation system using a power augmentation model and an engine performance model.
