An auxiliary power unit (APU) control system for an aircraft is disclosed, and includes an APU drivingly coupled to one or more generators, one or more processors, and a memory coupled to the one or more processors. The memory stores data comprising a database and program code that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the APU control system to receive one or more ambient signals indicative of an air density value and one or more power signals indicative of a specific amount of power generated by the APU. The system is further caused to determine a first variable rotational speed of the APU based on the air density value. The APU continues to generate the specific amount of power when operating at the first variable rotational speed. After instructing the APU to operate at the first variable rotational speed, the system receives an electrical load signal.
