Abstract
A method for powering a vehicle powered transport climate control system is provided. The method includes determining an amount of power requested by a load of the vehicle powered transport climate control system. The method also includes determining a vehicle power amount available from a vehicle power network. Also, the method includes calculating an auxiliary power amount from an auxiliary power network to augment the vehicle power amount from the vehicle power network. Further, the method includes converting power from the vehicle power network and power from the auxiliary power network into a load power and supplying the load power to the load of the vehicle powered transport climate control system. Also, a maximum amount of vehicle power available from the vehicle power network is less than a maximum amount of power required by the load of the vehicle powered transport climate control system.
