Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method for controlling a turbocharger system of an internal combustion engine. The method comprises controlling a first bypass valve of a high pressure exhaust gas turbine and a second bypass valve of a low pressure gas turbine on the basis of a turbine model, the first and second bypass valves continuously variable. In this way, turbocharger system efficiency may be maximized.
