Abstract
A transport power system is provided. The system includes a prime mover separate from a vehicle engine; a global positioning system (GPS) receiver configured to receive GPS data; and a controller configured to communicate with the prime mover and the GPS receiver. The controller is configured to determine an altitude of the transport power system with respect to sea level based on the GPS data received by the GPS receiver, determine a power output of the prime mover, adjust a power output upper limit for the prime mover based on the determined altitude, compare the power output of the prime mover and the adjusted power output upper limit, and operate the prime mover of the transport power system so as not to exceed the adjusted power output upper limit.
