A method of controlling a gas engine that is operated under lean-burn conditions, the method adjusting ignition timing such that a delay calculation value of an actual knocking occurrence ratio becomes a target occurrence ratio, the method comprising: when a delay calculation value of a maximum pressure in a cylinder of the gas engine is greater than or equal to a reference value, converting the delay calculation value into a virtual knocking occurrence ratio greater than or equal to a value greater than the target occurrence ratio; and either adding the virtual knocking occurrence ratio to the delay calculation value of the actual knocking occurrence ratio and then comparing the resulting delay calculation value of the actual knocking occurrence ratio with the target occurrence ratio, or comparing the virtual knocking occurrence ratio instead of the delay calculation value of the actual knocking occurrence ratio with the target occurrence ratio.

An engine including an exhaust bypass valve and an intake bypass valve. The exhaust bypass valve is disposed in an exhaust bypass channel connecting an outlet of an exhaust manifold and an exhaust outlet of a turbocharger to each other. The intake bypass valve is disposed in an intake bypass channel connecting an inlet of an intake manifold and an inlet of the turbocharger. An intake pressure sensor detects a pressure of the intake manifold. If an instruction value indicating an upper limit or a lower limit of the valve opening degree of the intake bypass valve is continuously output for a predetermined time or more, an engine control device determines that an abnormality occurs in at least one of the exhaust bypass valve and the intake bypass valve.

A uniflow scavenging two-cycle engine includes an scavenging port having a swirling guide portion that guides scavenging gas into a cylinder in a direction inclined with respect to a radial direction of the cylinder, and a center guide portion that is provided to be closer to a crank side of the cylinder than the swirling guide portion and guides the scavenging gas further toward the center side of the cylinder than the swirling guide portion. At least a part of the center guide portion faces a piston when the piston is positioned at bottom dead center during the high compression ratio mode, and the center guide portion and the piston do not face each other or an area of facing the piston is smaller than that during the high compression ratio mode when the piston is positioned at bottom dead center during the low compression ratio mode.
