Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for controlling a catalyst temperature. In one example, a method includes throttling in response to the catalyst temperature exceeding a threshold temperature. The throttling includes adjusting an intake throttle position to a more closed position. The throttling further includes increasing a turbine work extraction via adjusting a position of a plurality of turbine vanes to decrease a turbine outlet temperature.
