Abstract
Disclosed are methods and systems for monitoring a diesel generator system that includes a DPF filter in order to provide a highly efficient approach for monitoring the status of a DPF filter in order to determine if a regeneration is required. The methods and systems not only permit the ongoing determination of when a regeneration is appropriate in order to prevent excessive engine backpressure, but also accomplish this objective in a manner that reduces fuel consumption over the course of engine use.
