  • System and method for reducing fuel consumption in a vehicle
    Patent number: 9889746
    Abstract: A drive system includes an engine, an alternator coupled to the engine, the alternator being configured to power at least one auxiliary load, a traction motor system operatively coupled to drive wheels of the vehicle, the traction motor system being configured for receiving primary electrical power from the alternator and for propelling the vehicle in response to the primary electrical power, and a motor electrically connected to the traction motor system and mechanically coupled to the engine. The motor is configured to receive electrical power from the traction motor system in a dynamic braking mode of operation of the traction motor system and to communicate power to the engine during the dynamic braking mode.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and system for alternator thermal protection
    Patent number: 9490682
    Abstract: A system (for controlling cooling of an alternator) comprises a control system, an alternator, and a blower fan, the alternator having a stator and a rotor. The control system is adapted to estimate one or more temperatures of the stator and/or rotor of the alternator using a thermal model. The control system is also adapted to control the blower fan to cool the alternator by providing a specified amount of air flow across the stator and rotor of the alternator, based on the estimated one or more temperatures of the stator and/or rotor.
