Abstract
A power delivery control apparatus for work machines that derive propulsion power from electrical power sources during a work task includes data processor circuitry and power controller circuitry. The data processor circuitry is constructed to accept a data set indicating a propulsion power requirement for performing the work task and to generate power delivery limit data from the data set. The power delivery limit data defines a propulsion power delivery limit on the propulsion power derived from the electrical power sources during the work task. The power controller circuitry of a distinguishably identifiable work machine is communicatively coupled to the data processor circuitry and constructed to accept the power delivery limit data from the data processor circuitry and to enforce the propulsion power delivery limit during performance of the work task.
