Abstract: A method for controlling aftertreatment regeneration for a system having a hybrid powertrain is described. The method includes determining that an engine aftertreatment regeneration is indicated when a regeneration request index exceeds a first threshold. The method includes determining an acceptable battery usage amount based on a current battery state of charge (SOC) and a minimum battery SOC. The method further includes determining a battery usage amount for an engine aftertreatment regeneration operation. The method includes initiating an engine aftertreatment regeneration when the battery usage amount is less than or equal to the acceptable battery usage amount.

Abstract: A system and method of detecting fueling imbalance(s) in an internal combustion engine is provided. The method includes receiving data regarding an oxygen content of engine exhaust for the engine operating at a cycle rate. Frequency component analysis is performed comprising a filtering operation on the received oxygen content data. The filtering is done at the cycle rate of the engine or harmonics thereof to obtain filtered oxygen content data. Then, the method/system determines at least one of: 1) one or more angles of the engine at which the filtered oxygen content data exhibits a first amplitude value characteristic relative to amplitude values at other angles; and 2) a shape of the filtered oxygen content data obtained by sampling at pre-defined engine angles. The method/system then identifies a cylinder experiencing a fueling imbalance responsive to the determined at least one of one or more angle(s) and shape of the data.
