Abstract
A load management system for reducing engine lug during transient conditions is disclosed. The load management system may include a driven component, a power source configured to drive the driven component, and a controller in communication with the driven component and the power source. The controller may be configured to: monitor a current intake manifold pressure of the power source and a current load of the driven component, calculate a ratio based on the current intake manifold pressure and a steady state intake manifold pressure of the power source, and start a predetermined time period based on the ratio and the current load during which the power source builds up power to respond to the current load.
