Various systems and methods for an engine system which includes a throttle turbine generator having a turbine which drives an auxiliary generator and disposed in a throttle bypass are described. In some examples, a throttle bypass valve is controlled to adjust airflow through the throttle bypass responsive to airflow to cylinders of the engine. In other examples, an operating parameter such as throttle position is controlled based on transient operating conditions of the engine. In still other examples, charging of a battery is coordinated between the auxiliary generator and a primary generator.

1. A method, comprising: in an engine system with a throttle bypass around a throttle disposed in an intake passage of the engine system, the throttle bypass including a turbine in communication with an auxiliary generator, adjusting an operating parameter based on determined airflow to engine cylinders responsive to a determined transient operating condition wherein the operating parameter is a throttle position; andadjusting the throttle position to vary a throttle opening during the transient operating condition responsive to a change in the airflow due to a delay in spinning up or spinning down of the turbine. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining the airflow based on engine speed-density during the determined transient operating condition. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the operating parameter is one or more of fuel injection timing and fuel injection amount, and where bypass valve opening and throttle position are adjusted so that airflow to engine cylinders is adjusted such that torque requirements are met while charging of a battery is carried out via the auxiliary generator. 4. The method of claim 3, further comprising adjusting the fuel injection amount during the determined transient operating condition responsive to a determined change in the airflow based on a delay in the spinning up or spinning down of the turbine. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining the airflow based on a time constant of the turbine during the transient operating condition, and during a non-transient operating condition, determining the airflow to the engine based on mass airflow upstream of the throttle. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the time constant is a function of airflow through the throttle, pressure drop across the throttle, speed of the auxiliary generator, or a current or voltage generated by the auxiliary generator. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising charging a battery of the engine system via the auxiliary generator, where a throttle bypass opening is reduced when a state of charge of the battery approaches a threshold valve, and where the throttle bypass opening is closed as the throttle approaches wide-open throttle. 8. The method of claim 2, further comprising, during a non-transient operating condition, determining the airflow to the engine based on mass airflow upstream of the throttle. 9. A method for an engine, comprising: during a non-transient operating condition, determining an airflow to the engine based on mass airflow upstream of a throttle, andduring a transient operating condition, instead of the mass airflow, determining the airflow to the engine based on speed-density or a time constant of a turbine disposed in a throttle bypass which routes intake air around the throttle, wherein the time constant is a function of airflow through the throttle, pressure drop across the throttle, speed of the auxiliary generator, or a current or voltage generated by an auxiliary generator driven by the turbine, and adjusting throttle position based on the airflow to the engine. 10. The method of claim 9, further comprising adjusting one or more of fuel injection timing and fuel injection amount based on the airflow to the engine. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein adjusting the throttle includes adjusting the throttle position to adjust a throttle opening in response to a change in the airflow to the engine during the transient operating condition based on a determined delay in spinning up or spinning down of the turbine. 12. The method of claim 10, further comprising adjusting the fuel injection amount in response to a change in the airflow to the engine during the transient operating condition based on a determined delay in spinning up or spinning down of the turbine. 13. A system for an engine, comprising: a throttle disposed in an intake passage of the engine;a throttle bypass which includes a turbine coupled to an auxiliary generator;a controller with instructions programmed in memory including instructions to identify an airflow to the engine based on transmission gear ratio change, and to adjust throttle position responsive to the identified airflow to the engine during the transient condition; andadjusting fuel injection timing and fuel injection amount responsive to the identified airflow, the identified airflow further based on a time constant of turbine rotation. 14. The system of claim 11, wherein the controller further includes instructions to retard fuel injection timing responsive to a decrease in the airflow to the engine during the transmission gear ratio change. 15. The system of claim 11, wherein the controller further includes instructions to adjust the throttle position by adjusting an opening of the throttle responsive to a change in the airflow to the engine during the transient transmission gear ratio change based on a determined delay in spinning up or spinning down of the turbine. 16. The system of claim 13, wherein the controller further includes instructions to identify the airflow to the engine based on engine speed-density during the transmission gear ratio change instead of mass airflow. 17. The system of claim 13, wherein the controller further includes instructions to identify the airflow to the engine based on a time constant of the turbine, where the time constant of the turbine is determined based on a function of airflow through the throttle, pressure drop across the throttle, speed of the auxiliary generator, or a current or voltage generated by the auxiliary generator.
