Air Fraction and EGR Proportion Control for Dual Loop EGR Diesel Engines

Simultaneous Air Fraction and Low-Pressure EGR Mass Flow Rate Estimation for Diesel Engines

This paper describes a low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation (LP-EGR) mass flow rate estimation method and a robust air mass fraction observer for a Diesel engine with dualloop EGR system. Both observers operate simultaneously eliminating the need for pressure measurement upstream the LP-EGR valve. A sliding mode observer is designed to estimate the LP-EGR mass flow rate using the standard sen...

Gas flow observer for Diesel Engines with EGR

Due to stricter emission legislation, there is a need for more efficient control of diesel engines with exhaust gas recirculation(EGR). In particular, it is important to estimate the air/fuel ratio accurately in transients. Therefore a new engine gas flow model has been developed. This model divides the gas into one part for oxygen and one part for inert gases. Based on this model an observer h...

Control of EGR and VGT for Emission Control and Pumping Work Minimization in Diesel Engines

Legislators steadily increase the demands on lowered emissions from heavy duty vehicles. To meet these demands it is necessary to integrate technologies like Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Variable Geometry Turbochargers (VGT) together with advanced control systems. Control structures are proposed and investigated for coordinated control of EGR valve and VGT position in heavy duty diesel e...

Robust Nonlinear EGR and VGT Control with Integral Action for Diesel Engines

A robust non-linear multivariable control design with integral action is proposed and investigated for control of EGR valve and VGT position in heavy duty diesel engines. The main control goal is to regulate oxygen/fuel ratio and intake manifold EGR-fraction. These are chosen as main performance variables since they are strongly coupled to the emissions. A recently developed non-linear control ...
