11. A method of dissipating power in a propelled machine having an electric drive, comprising:
-
converting undesired power to electric power by the electric drive;
driving an internal combustion engine with at least a first portion of the electric power;
providing a second portion of the electric power to at least one of an energy storage component and an electric powered accessory of the propelled machine, the second portion corresponding to electric power exceeding a predetermined dissipation limit of the internal combustion engine; and
dissipating undesired power by an application of at least one brake of the propelled machine. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

25. A propelled machine, comprising:
-
a first means for dissipating undesired power;
a second means for dissipating undesired power;
a third means for dissipating undesired power;
an electric drive; and
a controller configured to prioritize the use of one of the first, second, and third dissipating means so that the dissipating means having the highest priority dissipates power to a predetermined limit if more than one dissipating means is required. - View Dependent Claims (26)
