Constrained Nonlinear Predictive Control of Gasoline Low-Temperature Combustion

Constrained Nonlinear Predictive Control of Gasoline Low-Temperature Combustion — Combustion of a gasoline fuel with a high amount of recirculated exhaust gas is increasingly gaining interest. Such in part load conditions, a low combustion peak temperature can be achieved, which yields lowest emissions but suffers from instabilities of the process and a highly nonlinear behavior. These properti...

Optimal Idle Speed Control of a Natural Aspirated Gasoline Engine Using Bio-inspired Meta- heuristic Algorithms

In order to lowering level of emissions of internal combustion engines (ICEs), they should be optimally controlled. However, ICEs operate under numerous operating conditions, which in turn makes it difficult to design controller for such nonlinear systems. In this article, a generalized unique controller for idle speed control under whole loading conditions is designed. In the current study, in...

Predictive Control of Nonlinear Hybrid Systems Using Generalized Outer Approximation

This paper presents an efficient optimization algorithm for mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem resulting from multiple partially linearized (MPL) model based control of nonlinear hybrid dynamical system (NHDS). The algorithm uses structural information of the canonical MPL framework and derives comparatively easier quadratic programming (QP) primal problem as well as an MILP ma...
