    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are disclosed for thermal management of an SCR catalyst in an exhaust aftertreatment system of an internal combustion engine that includes an exhaust throttle but lacks a particulate filter. The thermal management can include interpreting, initiating, and/or completing a thermal management event for the SCR catalyst for removal of contaminants such as hydrocarbons and urea deposits. The thermal management event includes at least one of closing the exhaust throttle and increasing the thermal output of the engine to expose the SCR catalyst to a sufficiently high temperature over a time period that desorbs a sufficient amount of the hydrocarbons and/or removes a sufficient amount of the urea deposits to restore SCR catalyst performance.

    Abstract: A system includes at least one sensor coupled to an aftertreatment system and a controller having at least one processor coupled to at least one memory device storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the controller to perform operations. The operations include: adjusting an operating point of an engine in response to emissions information from the at least one sensor and based on a fault indicator regarding a component of the system; and, controlling an electric motor in response to the adjustment of the operating point of the engine based on a change in power output from the engine to assist in a desired emissions characteristic.

    Abstract: An internal combustion engine system includes an internal combustion engine, a controller, and an increased brake load event communicator. The internal combustion engine includes a first cylinder and a first cylinder deactivation prevention mechanism. The first cylinder is configured to be selectively activated and deactivated. The first cylinder deactivation prevention mechanism is configured to selectively prevent the first cylinder from being deactivated. The controller is communicable with the first cylinder deactivation prevention mechanism. The controller includes an increased brake load event detection module that is configured to selectively control the first cylinder deactivation prevention mechanism to prevent the first cylinder from being deactivated. The increased brake load event communicator is communicable with the controller. The increased brake load event detection module is configured to control the first cylinder deactivation prevention mechanism to prevent the first cylinder from being deactivated based on a communication from the increased brake load event communicator.
