Abstract

A method for regulating filling an exhaust gas component (EGC) storage of a catalytic converter (CC) in the exhaust gas (EG) of an internal combustion engine. An actual fill level (AFL) of the EGC storage is ascertained using a first system model (FSM), to which signals of a first EG sensor projecting into the EG flow upstream from the CC and detecting a concentration of the EGC and a second EG sensor, downstream from the CC and exposed to the EG, are fed. A base lambda setpoint value for a first control loop (CL) is predefined by a second CL, which is adjusted to the AFL using the AFL ascertained using the FSM when the voltage of the second EG sensor indicates a breakthrough of rich/lean EG downstream from the CC and an excessively low/high AFL of the EGC storage. Also described is a control unit to perform the method.
