Abstract
A system for controlling idle speed and power draw includes a determination unit configured to determine a current available power value, a determination unit configured to determine a current power consumption value, a determination unit configured to determine a future power requirement variation value, a computation unit configured to calculate a future estimated total power requirement value, a computation unit configured to calculate a future estimated available power value, an optimization unit configured to determine an optimization result by comparing the estimated total power requirement value with a power value associated with an optimization criterion and a controller configured to send an order to adapt an idle speed of the engine, an order to adapt the estimated total power requirement or no order as a function of the optimization result.
