Abstract
An example engine system is disclosed. The engine system may control a turbocharger of an internal combustion engine, and more particularly control a boost pressure provided by a turbocharger to an internal combustion engine. An example method for controlling a boost pressure provided by a turbocharger may include receiving a boost pressure demand and identifying a compressor speed demand to achieve the received boost pressure demand. The method may also include converting the compressor speed demand into a kinetic energy demand of the turbocharger rotating components and controlling the kinetic energy of the turbocharger rotating components to meet the kinetic energy demand by controlling power supplied by the turbine and the electric motor assist.
