1. A system comprising:
- a mechanical power source;
an electrical power generator configured to receive input from the mechanical power source;
an electrical load configured to receive output from the electrical power generator;
a controller and a memory associated with the controller, wherein the memory is configured to provide the controller with instructions which when executed cause the controller to;
measure a characteristic of an electrical output from the electrical power generator produced during a first power generation cycle; and
adjust a coupling of the mechanical power source through the electrical power generator to the electrical load during a subsequent power generation cycle based at least in part on the characteristic of the electrical output measured during the first power generation cycle.

Abstract
A method of coupling a mechanical power source through an electrical power generator to an electrical load is disclosed. A characteristic of an electrical output is measured from the electrical power generator produced during a power generation cycle during which there is a coupling of the mechanical power source through the electrical power generator to the electrical load. The coupling of the mechanical power source is adjusted through the electrical power generator to the electrical load during a subsequent power generation cycle based at least in part on the measured characteristic of the electrical output.
