Abstract: A system including an engine connectable to a time variant working load. A motor is connected to the engine, and a variable frequency drive is connected to the motor. A system controller is connected to the variable frequency drive, and is programmed to command the variable frequency drive to change a selected mode of the motor according to an operational state of the engine. An electrical generation mode includes the motor operating as a generation load on the engine when the working load falls to an intermediate load below the operational load. A generation load combined with the intermediate load includes about the operational load. A standby mode includes the motor operating as a standby load on the engine when the working load about equals the operational load. A drive mode includes the motor applying mechanical power to the engine.

Abstract: A vehicle including a chassis and an engine connected to the chassis. The vehicle also includes an alternator connected to the engine and a drive system connected to the alternator. The vehicle also includes a number of wheel motors connected to the drive system. The vehicle also includes a number of wheels connected to the wheel motors. The drive system includes a number of modules. Each of the modules is directly connected to at least one other module of the modules. Each of the modules is interchangeable with another of the modules. Each of the modules includes one or more switches for controlling a mode of operation of each of the modules. The one or more switches of each of the modules are set to control an electrical interface between the drive system and electrical components of the vehicle, the electrical components including at least the wheel motors.
