Abstract: A method for controlling a dual fuel engine system includes determining a gas flow target for an internal combustion engine of the dual fuel engine system, where the gas flow target is based on a gas power target of the internal combustion engine, a thermal efficiency estimate of the internal combustion engine, and a lower heating value (LHV) within the internal combustion engine. The method also includes adjusting the gas flow target based on at least one of a measured gas temperature or a measured gas injector pressure and determining at least one base gas injector command based on the adjusted gas flow target, a gas substitution rate estimate, and a gas substitution rate target. The method further includes determining, based on the at least one base gas injector command, a gas injector command for at least one engine bank.

Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus are provided for improving accuracy of sensor readings reflecting measurements of at least one constituent in an engine exhaust. The sensor measurement is corrected or compensated for by applying to a gain correction factor to the reported sensor measurement. The gain correction factor is developed by determination of prior test sensor readings correlated with discrete sensor age levels, and with constituent concentrations to which those test sensors are exposed. By applying the determined gain correction factor to change the sensor's reported measurements, bias may be reduced and a more accurate measure of actual constituent levels is provided.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling a temperature of an exhaust gas at an inlet of a selective catalytic reduction system during at least certain low air density conditions. The system may detect an air density value upstream of an internal combustion engine of an engine system, such as, for example, at an inlet of a compressor. Using the detected air density, one of a plurality of relationships between an engine speed and an outputted engine power, as a function of the detected air density value, may be selected for use in determining what combination of engine speed(s) and/or engine power(s) will produce an exhaust gas that is within a target exhaust gas temperature. Using the selected relationship, at least one of the engine speed and the engine power may be adjusted to at least assist in attaining the target exhaust gas temperature.
