1. An engine operating method, comprising:
- via a controller, reducing output of an electrically driven compressor that provides air to an engine according to a temperature of a liquid passing through the electrically driven compressor; and
reducing the temperature of the liquid via reducing output of the engine via the controller.

Abstract
Methods and systems for operating an engine with an electrically driven compressor are described. In one example, a model in a controller determines one or more temperatures of the electrically driven compressor to establish a power output upper threshold that is not to be exceeded by the electrically driven compressor. Various actuators may be adjusted responsive to the power output upper threshold to reduce the possibility of electrically driven compressor degradation.
