Abstract

Systems and methods for operating a hybrid powertrain or driveline that includes an engine and an integrated starter/generator are described. In one example, a clutch is positioned between the engine and the integrated starter/generator to reduce the possibility of the integrated starter/generator exceeding a rated speed of the integrated starter/generator.
