Patent 11028723 was granted and assigned to ROLLS-ROYCE MARINE NORTH AMERICA INC. on June, 2021 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A system includes a gas turbine engine, a generator coupled with the gas turbine engine, and controller circuitry. The generator may be rotatable by the gas turbine engine to generate electric power on a load bus. The controller circuitry may control the load bus to manage an output torque of the gas turbine engine in accordance with a load demand present on the generator. The controller circuitry may dynamically alternate supply of electric power from the load bus to a first load and a second load to maintain operational transient parameters of the gas turbine engine within a predetermined range.
