1. A transient response system, comprising:
- a power source operable to generate a power output;
a transmission operatively coupled to the power source;
a generator operatively coupled to the power source; and
a controller in communication with the generator and at least one of the power source and the transmission, the controller operable to receive at least one input having a value indicative of a change in load on the power source and operable to cause the generator to remove power from the power output at a rate corresponding to the value of the at least one input and in such a manner to dampen transient power loads applied to the power source by removing less power from the power output in response to an increase in load on the power source.

Abstract
A transient response system includes a power source operable to generate a power output and a transmission operatively coupled to the power source. The transient response system also includes a generator operatively coupled to the power source and a controller in communication with the generator and at least one of the power source and the transmission. The controller is operable to receive at least one input having a value indicative of a change in load on the power source and operable to cause the generator to remove power from the power output at a rate corresponding to the value of the at least one input.

10. A method of operating a transient response system comprising:
-
driving a transmission with a power source, the power source operable to produce a power output;
sensing a load on the power source;
identifying a change in the load on the power source;
controlling a generator to remove power from the power output at a rate corresponding to a value associated with the change in load on the power source and in such a manner to dampen transient power loads applied to the power source by removing less power from the power output in response to an increase in load on the power source. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A work machine comprising:
-
a housing;
a traction device supporting the housing;
a power source operable to generate a power output;
a transmission operatively coupled to the power source;
a generator operatively coupled to the power source; and
a controller in communication with the generator and at least one of the power source and the transmission, the controller operable to receive at least one input having a value indicative of a load on the power source and operable to cause the generator to remove power from the power output at a rate corresponding to the value of the at least one input and in such a manner to dampen transient power loads applied to the power source by removing less power from the power output in response to an increase in load on the power source. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
