1. A system for controlling intake pressure of a combustion engine operably coupled to a power generation system, the system comprising:
- at least one turbocharger operably coupled to an intake system of the combustion engine, the at least one turbocharger being configured to increase the intake pressure in the intake system of the combustion engine; and
a turbocharger controller configured to compare actual and desired intake pressures and to control operation of the at least one turbocharger based on the comparison such that the at least one turbocharger supplies a desired intake pressure to the combustion engine.

Abstract
A system for controlling intake pressure of a combustion engine operably coupled to a power generation system includes at least one turbocharger operably coupled to the intake system of the combustion engine. The at least one turbocharger is configured to increase the intake pressure in the intake system of the combustion engine. A turbocharger controller is configured to compare actual and desired intake pressures and control operation of the at least one turbocharger based on the comparison such that the turbocharger supplies a desired intake pressure to the combustion engine.

17. A method of maintaining a desired air-to-fuel ratio supplied to a combustion engine operably coupled to a power generation system, the method comprising:
-
determining a load on the power generation system;
controlling operation of at least one turbocharger via a turbocharger controller based on a comparison of actual and desired engine intake pressures and the load on the power generation system such that the desired air-to-fuel ratio supplied to the combustion engine is substantially maintained. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
