Abstract
A method for optimized utilization of available energy resources/sources () of an electrical system such as for a vehicle generator system. The steps include: determining performance parameters L(e.g. current I, voltage U, temperature T, power P(P), P(P), efficiency, etc.) of a preferred energy resource (); entering performance parameters L(current I, voltage U, temperature T, altitude of the vehicle, etc.) of the energy resource () into a thermal model (); comparing a performance parameter Lof the energy resource () with a specified performance limit parameter Lat a specified threshold level; determining a value for an energy reservoir Eof a preferred energy resource (); and to calculate a remaining time Tdepending on the energy reservoir Eof a preferred energy resource () and using the one or more identified performance parameters Lto maintain an operational state of the vehicle.
