Abstract:
A control system for a vehicle having first and second axles (26, 30) is provided that includes a coupling apparatus (32) adapted to distribute torque between the first and second axles (26, 30) and a traction controller (64) for controlling operation of the differential apparatus from vehicle launch up to a predetermined vehicle speed. The traction controller is configured to engage the coupling apparatus (32) in a first operating state according to at least one vehicle operating parameter indicative of a low traction operating condition, in particular based on speed difference between the first and second axle (26, 30) and to further control engagement of the coupling apparatus in a second vehicle operating state during the low traction operating condition according to a difference between an actual vehicle yaw rate and a predetermined target vehicle yaw rate.
Abstract:
A microgrid power generation system (80) includes a plurality of generators (200,202) having a plurality of different rated capacities and a plurality of distribution nodes (210,212,214), at least some of the distribution nodes being powered by the generators. A grid (208) is formed by the distribution nodes, the grid includes a system frequency (302). A plurality of loads (216,218,220) are powered by the grid through the distribution nodes, the loads have a power demand. A processor (230;216;218;220) includes a plurality of efficiency bands (88,92), each of the efficiency bands being for a corresponding one of the generators and including a plurality of generator switching points based upon droop of the system frequency and the power demand of the loads. The processor is structured to operate the generators and the loads under transient conditions based upon the efficiency bands.
Abstract:
A control system (50) for a vehicle having first and second wheels (28, 30) is provided that includes a differential apparatus (22) adapted to distribute torque between the first and second wheels (28, 30) and a traction controller (52) for controlling operation of the differential apparatus (22) from vehicle launch up to a predetermined vehicle speed. The traction controller (52) is configured to engage the differential apparatus (22) in a first operating state according to at least one vehicle operating parameter indicative of a low traction operating condition and to further control engagement of the differential apparatus (22) in a second vehicle operating state during the low traction operating condition according to a difference between an actual vehicle yaw rate and a predetermined target vehicle yaw rate. The control system (50) also includes a stability controller (54) for controlling engagement of the differential apparatus (22) at or above the predetermined vehicle speed.
Abstract:
A method for controlling stability of a vehicle includes the steps of determining predictive lateral load transfer ratio of the vehicle by evaluating vehicle performance factors over a period of time, and controlling operation of the vehicle based on the predictive lateral load transfer ratio.

Abstract:
Un sistema de control para un vehículo teniendo primero y segundo ejes se proporciona el cual incluye un aparato de acoplamiento adaptado para distribuir torsión entre los primero y segundo ejes, y un controlador de tracción para controlar la operación del aparato de acoplamiento a partir del arranque del vehículo hasta una velocidad de vehículo predeterminada. El controlador de tracción se configura para vincular al aparato de acoplamiento en un primer estado de operación de vehículo de acuerdo con por lo menos un parámetro de operación de vehículo indicativo de una condición de baja tracción y para controlar adicionalmente la vinculación del aparato de acoplamiento en un segundo estado de operación de vehículo durante la condición de operación de baja tracción de acuerdo con una diferencia entre una tasa de desviación alrededor del eje vertical actual del vehículo y una tasa de desviación alrededor del vertical objetivo predeterminada del vehículo.
