Abstract: A regeneration disable control system (22) of a vehicle having a power take off device (10) that is run off a motor (12) which is powered by at least one battery (14), and an engine (16) for recharging the at least one battery and for regenerating a diesel particulate filter (20), includes a hybrid controller (18). The hybrid controller (18) sends a signal to an engine controller (21) to indicate whether hybrid-PTO mode is enabled. If the hybrid-PTO mode is enabled, the engine controller (21) determines whether regeneration of the diesel particulate filter (20) is required. If regeneration is required, the engine controller (21) sends a signal to a regeneration inhibitor (30) to disable the engine (16) from initiating a regeneration event.

Abstract: The method for regeneration of a diesel particulate filter of a vehicle equipped with a hybrid engine, wherein the temperature of the exhaust exiting the diesel engine is increased above a predetermined level by increasing load thereon, through optimization of interaction between the diesel particulate filter aftertreatment system and the hybrid engine control through messaging via a communication bus is disclosed. The load on the engine may be increased with or without the assistance of the electric motor/generator of the hybrid engine, and will not affect required acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle.

Abstract: A PI control strategy controls engine speed to an engine speed set-point. A proportional map (36) is populated with data values to be used in calculating the P component of the strategy. An integral map (38) is populated with data values to be used in calculating the I component. Each data value in the maps is correlated with a speed data value representing engine speed (N) and a speed error data value representing the difference between engine speed and engine speed set-point (N_DIF_MAX_LIM). Values for proportional and integral components are selected from the respective maps by processing current engine speed data and current engine speed error data. The strategy uses the values from the maps for controlling engine speed to the speed set-point. Data values from other maps (20 and 24; or 22 and 26) modify the selected values from the proportional and integral maps (36, 38) for transmission type, transmission gear, and engine temperature.
