A control device includes: a receiving unit, the control device being configured for controlling a technical system including at least one controllable component with respect to a target variable taking into consideration a forecast curve, which is provided with a plurality of values for a plurality of points in time in a future time period by the receiving unit; and an optimizer including an analysis unit configured for analyzing the forecast curve and an approximator configured for specifying an approximated forecast curve, the analysis unit being configured for setting a plurality of supporting points based on analyzed ones of the plurality of values of the forecast curve, and the approximator being configured for specifying the approximated forecast curve with the plurality of supporting points that are set based on the analyzed ones of the plurality of values of the forecast curve.

Control device for controlling a technical system including at least one controllable component, method for operating a control device, and system including the control device

A method for operating an internal combustion engine having a turbocharger, wherein a fuel quantity is supplied to the combustion chamber of the engine in a stationary state, which fuel quantity is determined according to a first predetermined relationship between a load requirement to the engine and a rating determining a fuel quantity to be supplied to the combustion chamber, wherein a second predetermined relationship between the rating and the load requirement is used, wherein according to the second relationship, a given load requirement is assigned a larger quantity of fuel than according to the first relationship. In a transient state of the engine, the fuel quantity supplied to the combustion chamber is determined based on an interpolated value of the rating, which is determined for the rating by an interpolation between a value resulting from the first relationship and a value resulting from the second relationship.

Method and control system for operating a turbocharged internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle

A method for operating an internal combustion engine, in particular a gas engine, having two cylinder banks, each of which includes multiple cylinders, wherein each cylinder bank is independently supplied with charging pressure, and having a device for actively deactivating at least one cylinder of each cylinder bank. When the operating state is switched from a state with at least one deactivated cylinder to an operating state with at least one other activated cylinder, the charging pressure is reduced prior to the activation of the other cylinder.

Method for smoothly connecting a load during an activated cylinder deactivation process of an internal combustion engine

A method for the injector-specific diagnosis of a fuel injection device of an internal combustion engine, including the following steps: detecting a pressure progression in an individual accumulator of an injector in a time-resolved manner; evaluating the detected pressure progression; determining if there is a fault state of the injection device in the region of the injector on the basis of the detected and evaluated pressure progression; and identifying the fault state on the basis of the detected and evaluated pressure progression.

Method for the injector-specific diagnosis of a fuel injection device and internal combustion engine having a fuel injection device

A method for operating an internal combustion engine, which has: an intake section and an engine with an number of cylinders and a receiver which is arranged upstream of the cylinders wherein the intake section has: a supercharging system with a compressor and a bypass for bypassing the supercharging system, and wherein the receiver is assigned an engine throttle, and the bypass is assigned a compressor bypass throttle; and a setting of the engine throttle and/or of the compressor bypass throttle is set as a function of the operation in order to influence a charge fluid. The intake section is assigned an intake section model by which at least a mass flow and/or state of the charge fluid upstream of the engine are/is determined and on the basis of a determination result the compressor bypass throttle is set as a function of the engine throttle.

Method and device for operating an internal combustion engine

In a method for controlling the NOx concentration in the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine in which an NOx control deviation is calculated from an actual NOx value and a desired NOx value, a control value is calculated based on the NOx control deviation via an NOx controller and by means of the control value at least one condition of the cylinder inlet flow volume of the internal combustion engine is adjusted in that, additionally, an adaption injection begin is determined in dependence on the control value of the NOx controller, and the injection begin is changed by the adaption injection begin.
