Abstract
A system and method for dynamic optimization of system efficiency for an integrated hydrogen-electric engine is disclosed. The system includes an elongated shaft of an integrated hydrogen-electric engine and a plurality of motors to drive the elongated shaft of the integrated hydrogen-electric engine. The system also includes at least one sensor to monitor a first torque of each motor of the plurality of motors and a computer with a memory and one or more processors. The one or more processors receive from the sensor, a first set of torque data for the first torque of each motor of the plurality of motors, utilize the first set of torque data to determine an overall efficiency of the plurality of motors, and selectively idle at least one motor of the plurality of motors based on a result of the determination.
