Abstract
An amount of electric power generatable by an exhaust gas-driven rotating electric machine is determined corresponding to an operating point, so that an increment amount of fuel by the exhaust gas-driven electric power generation is smaller than engine-driven alternator power generation. The power generation can be thereby performed by effectively utilizing exhaust energy of the engine.
