Observer Based Feedforward Air-fuel Control of Turbocharged Si-engines
نویسندگان
چکیده
Air-fuel control on turbocharged (TC) SI-engines require precise prediction of the cylinder air-charge (CAC). Using an observer it is possible to both estimate the necessary system states and to provide a framework to design the necessary CAC feedforward controller. Here a mean value engine model of a TC SI-engine is used to develop an observer. The output of the observer is fed as an initial condition to a predictor which is used for feedforward of the CAC for air-fuel control. The resulting controller is experimentally validated on a SAAB 2.0 dm TC engine using tip-in and tip-out transients. The results show that the excursions in λ are less than 5%. Copyright c ©2005 IFAC

Two air path observers for turbocharged SI engines with VCT
Nowadays, downsizing is a major way to reduce fuel consumption and pollutant emissions of Spark Ignition (SI) engines. In downsized engines, new air path management systems such as turbocharging or Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) are including, and an efficient control of the air actuators is required for engine torque control. Two non-linear estimators are proposed to estimate non-measured vari...
متن کاملSensor Selection for Observer Feedback in Turbocharged Spark Ignited Engines
Precise air/fuel control is necessary for low emissions in turbocharged (TC) SI-engines. Observers are often proposed for accurate cylinder air charge estimation in air/fuel controllers. First it is shown using a structural method that the system is locally structurally observable using observer-feedback from any measured state. A systematic method to select observer feedback signals is importa...
متن کاملAir Charge Estimation in Turbocharged Spark Ignition Engines
Turbocharged (TC) spark-ignited (SI) engines are popular as they combine high power output with good fuel economy. Furthermore, their emissions can be successfully reduced using a three way catalyst (TWC) provided that the airfuel ratio is precisely controlled. As the air-fuel ratio depends on the precision of the air charge estimate, this thesis is devoted to the systematic improvement of the ...
متن کاملOptimization-based non-linear Control Law with Increased Robustness for Air Fuel Ratio Control in SI Engines
In spark ignition (SI) engines, the accurate control of air fuel ratio (AFR) in the stoichiometric value is required to reduce emission and fuel consumption. The wide operating range, the inherent nonlinearities and the modeling uncertainties of the engine system are the main difficulties arising in the design of AFR controller. In this paper, an optimization-based nonlinear control law is a...
متن کاملAn Experimental and Theoretical Study of the Effects of Excess Air Ratio and Waste Gate Opening Pressure Threshold on Nox Emission and Performance in a Turbocharged CNG SI Engine
Turbocharged CNG engines produce high NOx emission due to the fuel type and high combustion temperature. In this research, the effects of lean-burn and waste gate opening pressure threshold on NOx emission are studied theoretically and experimentally at WOT condition as well as 13-mode ECE-R49 test cycle. A code is developed in MATLAB environment for predicting engine NOx and the results are va...
