Abstract
Methods and systems are provided to control engine speed droop. One such system may include an electric generator; an engine configured to power the electric generator via an output shaft; a control circuit configured to cause a speed of the output shaft to match a speed setpoint based on a feedback loop; and a processor configured to anticipate a change in a mechanical load on the engine and cause the speed setpoint of the output shaft to increase or decrease from a first value to a second value in response to anticipation of the change in the mechanical load on the engine.
