Abstract
A method for controlling a turbocharger is provided. The turbocharger has a turbine operatively connected to an exhaust of an internal combustion engine, and a compressor operatively connected to an intake of the engine. The method includes determining a boost pressure command for the compressor. The boost pressure command is configured to provide sufficient combustion reactant for the engine. The method includes calculating a compressor power from the determined boost pressure command, and calculating a turbine flow from the calculated compressor power. The method commands the turbocharger to operate at the calculated turbine flow.
