Abstract
An object is to enable low fuel-consumption operation of an engine by controlling a back pressure and a power generation amount taking account of a trade-off relationship between deterioration of fuel efficiency due to an increase in pumping loss due to a back-pressure rise of the engine and improvement of fuel efficiency due to recovery of exhaust energy by a turbo compound.
