Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
According to one implementation of an engine system, a power device is selectively actuated to provide energy to a storage device. Energy from the storage device is selectively provided to a boost assist device to supplement the normal energy supply to a boost device and enable an increased power output of the engine in at least certain engine or vehicle operating conditions. In one form, the power device may be a source of electrical energy and the storage device is capable of storing an electrical charge. In another form, the power device is a fluid pump and the storage device is capable of storing pressurized fluid. Various methods may be employed to control operation of the power device and energy storage in the storage device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: selectively actuating a power device to provide energy to a storage device as a function of at least one of the current energy status of the storage device or a condition of engine or vehicle operation; wherein selectively actuating the power device is accomplished when the energy status of the storage device is below a maximum threshold and a vehicle associated with the engine is not actively drawing power from the engine; and selecti…
