Development and Experimental Validation of an Adaptive, Piston-Damage-Based Combustion Control System for SI Engines: Part 1—Evaluating Open-Loop Chain Performance

This work is focused on the development and validation of a spark advance controller, based piston “damage” model predictive knock model. The algorithm represents an integrated innovative way to manage both intensity combustion phase. It characterized by model-based open-loop with capability calculating high accuracy timing that achieves desired damage in certain period, for knock-limited engine operating conditions. Otherwise, it targets maximum efficiency Such controller primarily thought be utilized under conditions which feedback not needed. In this paper, main models structure are described validated. implemented rapid control prototyping device validated reproducing real driving maneuvers at test bench. Results online process presented end paper.
