Multivariable Model Predictive Control Design for Turbocharged Exhaust Gas Recirculation System in Marine Combustion Engines
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work investigates a novel turbocharged EGR system installed on a laboratory marine engine. A problem of recirculation of high and stable portion of exhaust gas in marine engines is addressed. Although conventional EGR systems have been extensively presented in research papers, the setup shown in this paper has not been well described. Therefore, we develop a mean-value model of the system and design a multivariable model predictive controller (MPC) for it. We also evaluate the advantages of a multivariable MPC in its application to marine diesel engines over other multivariable algorithms, for example HH∞ controller.

ABSTRACT Stringent NOx and particulate emission constraints require high levels of exhaust gas recirculation. In this paper we model and analyze a Variable Valve Timing methodology that in steady-state achieves large levels of internal Exhaust Gas Recirculation (iEGR) or residual charge in Compression Ignition Direct Injection (CIDI) engines. Current external Exhaust Gas Recirculation (eEGR) te...
