چکیده

Alternative fueled engines offer greater challenges for engine control courtesy of uncertain fuel composition. This make optimal tuning of input parameters like spark advance extremely difficult in most existing ECU architectures. This paper proposes the use of greybox extremum seeking techniques to provide real-time optimization of the spark advance in alternative fueled engines. The ability and flexibility of the proposed framework is demonstrated through simulation examples. The approaches demonstrated may be extended to other engine inputs requiring online optimization.

Cylinder pressure based combustion phase optimization and control in spark-ignited engines

Efficiency and emissions of spark-ignited engines are significantly affected by combustion phase which can usually be indicated by crank angle of 50% mass burnt (CA50). Managing combustion phase at the optimal value at which the maximal efficiency can be achieved is a challenging issue due to the cyclic variations of combustion process. This paper addresses this issue in two loops: CA50 set-poi...

An Experimental Investigation of Spark Ignition Engine Fueled with Ethanol/Iso-octane and Methanol/Iso-octane Fuel Blends

Alcohols have been used as a fuel for engines since 19th century. Among the various alcohols, ethanol and methanol are known as the most suited renewable, bio-based and ecofriendly fuel for spark-ignition (SI) engines. The most attractive properties of ethanol and methanol as an SI engine fuel are that it can be produced from renewable energy sources such as sugar, cane, cassava, many types ...
