    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for troubleshooting anomalies in a high-voltage bus system for an electrified vehicle are provided herein. The high-voltage bus system being electrically connected to a plurality of electrical components such that each electrical component in the plurality of electrical components has a similar voltage when the high-voltage bus system is electrified. The method includes detecting individual voltages for each electrical component in the plurality of electrical components using a voltage sensor of each of the electrical components in the plurality of electrical components; determining a baseline voltage for each of the electrical components in the plurality of electrical components, the baseline voltage corresponding to at least a subset of the individual voltages; and comparing any one of the individual voltages to the baseline voltage to determine if that individual voltage is anomalous.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes an energy storage circuit, an input circuit, and a hybrid management circuit. The energy storage circuit is structured to receive a state of charge (SOC) and a state of health (SOH) of an energy storage device. The input circuit is structured to receive an indication of a torque demand. The hybrid management circuit is structured to determine a first torque output for a genset including an engine and a first motor-generator based on the torque demand and the SOC of the energy storage device; determine an adjustment factor based on the SOH of the energy storage device; determine an adjusted torque output for the genset based on the adjustment factor and the first torque output; operate the genset to provide the adjusted torque output and to generate an amount of energy; and operate a second motor-generator at a second torque output to meet the torque demand.

    Abstract: A system includes a generator and an engine coupled to the generator. The engine is configured to provide mechanical power to the generator. The system further includes a controller coupled to the engine and the generator. The controller is configured to: receive information regarding an engine operating parameter threshold value at which an engine operating parameter value failed to match a load demand value that is indicative of a load exerted by the generator on the engine, and set the engine operating parameter threshold value as a maximum allowable engine operating parameter value for the engine.

    Abstract: A system comprises a generator and an engine coupled thereto. The engine is configured to provide mechanical power to the generator. A controller is coupled to the engine and the generator and is configured to compare an engine operating parameter value to a load demand value indicative of a load exerted by the generator on the engine. The controller determines that the engine operating parameter value fails to match the load demand value. The controller determines an engine operating parameter threshold value at which the engine operating parameter value failed to match the load demand value, and sets the engine operating parameter threshold value as a maximum allowable engine operating parameter value for the engine.

    Abstract: Systems and apparatuses include a vehicle controller and a mobile battery charging device. The vehicle controller is engaged with a vehicle that includes a battery charging port coupled to a vehicle battery system. The controller is configured to communicate information indicative of a state of charge of a battery of the vehicle over a network. The mobile a battery charging device includes a drive system configured to propel the battery charging device, a charging interface configured to engage the battery charging port of the vehicle, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive the information of the state of charge of the battery system of the vehicle, determine a position of the vehicle, and command the drive system to move the battery charging device to align the charging interface with the battery charging port of the vehicle to charge the battery system of the vehicle.
