  • System and method for dynamic energy recovery in marine propulsion
    Patent number: 8858277
    Abstract: A method for controlling operation of a propulsion system of a waterborne vessel, comprising adjusting recovery of energy generated from the propulsion system to maintain position of the waterborne vessel in response to at least an indication of vessel position.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 31, 2011
    Date of Patent: October 14, 2014
    Assignee: General Electric Company

  • Method and system for engine emission control
    Patent number: 8588999
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for improving a balance between engine fuel economy and exhaust emissions in an off-highway vehicle. One example method includes adjusting an engine injection timing based on an ambient NOx level estimated by a NOx sensor in the engine intake. Another example method includes adjusting a trip plan with a time in notch duty cycle based on a deviation from the time in notch duty cycle from a reference duty cycle.

  • Diesel engine control
    Publication number: 20060178800
    Abstract: A diesel engine (10) wherein both the operating speed of the engine (RPM) and the timing of the fuel injection into the engine (AA) are cooperatively controlled to be responsive to both the temperature and the pressure of the air (30) used for combustion. A controller (44) receives a temperature signal (28), an air pressure signal (36), and a power demand signal (24) and executes control logic to produce a fuel injection control signal (46) and an engine speed control signal (48) for controlling a fuel injection system (16). A control strategy based on engine inlet air temperature and pressure or manifold air density may be useful for variable speed and power applications. For applications with discreet speed and power points, such as a locomotive, a speed and timing control strategy based on ambient temperature and pressure is useful for maximizing power during high altitude and/or high ambient/inlet air temperature operation.
