Robust Model Predictive Control of a Diesel Engine Airpath

Robust Model Predictive Control of a Diesel Engine Airpath

Model predictive control represents one of the most promising methods, also in fast industrial applications like a Diesel engine. But especially Diesel engine control meets problems of uncertainties and disturbances, thus model-plant mismatch is omnipresent, which obviously decreases the performance of model based control. This paper compares different robust predictive control strategies appli...

Airpath strategy for experimental control of a Diesel HCCI Engine

A motion planning based control strategy is proposed for the airpath control of turbocharged Diesel engines using exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). The considered model uses simple balance equations. The fully actuated dynamics are easily inverted, yielding straightforward open-loop control laws. This approach is complemented by experimentally derived look-up tables to cast the drivers requests ...

A Robust Model Predictive Control Framework for Diesel Generators

A constraint tightened linear-time-varying MPC framework is proposed with applications in power tracking for variable and fixed speed generators. Current constraint tightening approaches are extended to allow for practical applications where future system representations are unknown. The resulting control structure is shown to be robustly feasible under given conditions. Knowledge about the geo...

Motion planning for experimental airpath control of a diesel homogeneous charge-compression ignition engine

A strategy based on motion planning is proposed for airpath control of turbocharged diesel engines equipped with exhaust gas recirculation. The objective is to manage the air and burned gas masses in the cylinder. The model considered uses simple balance equations for the intake manifold. The fully actuated dynamics are easily inverted, yielding straightforward open-loop control laws. This appr...
