Zusammenfassung:A system includes an engine and a controller in operative communication with the engine. Engine operating conditions are determined. At least one engine operating condition is determined. Based on the determined at least one engine operating condition, brake-specific fuel consumption is determined for each of a plurality of candidate cylinder pressures. A target cylinder pressure is selected from the plurality of candidate cylinder pressures. The target cylinder pressure is the candidate cylinder pressure at which brake-specific fuel consumption is minimized. Intake valve timing of the engine is modulated so as to achieve the target cylinder pressure.
