A method of operating a power system (12) of a machine (10) is provided. The power system (12) may include an engine (14). The method may include selectively supplying power from the engine to one or more other components of the machine. The method may also include, while supplying power from the engine to one or more other components of the machine, in response to a determined temperature of exhaust gas of the engine, increasing the torque and decreasing the speed at which the engine supplies power to increase the temperature of the exhaust gas. L'invention concerne un procédé de fonctionnement d'un système d'alimentation (12) d'une machine (10). Le système d'alimentation (12) peut inclure un moteur (14). Le procédé peut inclure de fournir une alimentation de manière sélective depuis le moteur à un ou plusieurs composants de la machine. Le procédé peut également inclure, tout en fournissant une alimentation depuis le moteur à un ou plusieurs composants de la machine, en réponse à une température déterminée d'un gaz d'échappement du moteur, l'augmentation du couple et la diminution de la vitesse à laquelle le moteur fournit une alimentation pour augmenter la température du gaz d'échappement.
