Real-time Control of HCCI Engine Using Model Predictive Control

Model Predictive Control of Internal Combustion Engines: A Review and Future Directions

“…The three main MPC methods that have been implemented on ICEs are Linear, Economic, and Nonlinear MPC as shown in Table 1. Due to the limited computational capability of engine ECU, linear methods, such as Explicit MPC [30,[38][39][40]43,45,47,50], single MPC [24,28,36,37,40,49,108,142,145,151], switching MPC [27,29,33,46,53,147,149], and linear parameter varying (LPV) MPC [21,22,29,42,48,129,143,150], have been widely implemented in ICEs.…”

“…Most linear methods have been implemented experimentally, and their control performance has been verified on real ICEs [21,24,[27][28][29][30]33,[36][37][38][39][40]42,43,[45][46][47][48][49][50]53]. These include implementation on mass production ECU [33] and prototype ECU [21,24,[27][28][29][30][36][37][38][39][40]42,43,[45][46][47][48][49][50]53] for broad engine applications. Recent developments include the implementation of real-time nonlinear MPC for emission control of a light-duty diesel engine [26,32,34,41,51].…”

“…MPC has been used in ICE control for a wide variety of ICE control problems. Among these control problems, MPC has been used widely for the control of fuel consumption [28,30,[33][34][35][36]52,54,[135][136][137], combustion phasing [21,22,27,28,[37][38][39]52,54,108,129,130,138], cyclic variability [54,130], torque and load (IMEP) [22,27,28,33,[37][38][39][40][41][42]52,54,108,129,130,[136][137][138], idle speed [25,36,43,139,140], airpath (P man , EGR)…”

“…MPC applications are not limited to a specific engine type, and, due to the capability of MPC, they have been implemented in various types of engines. MPC has been implemented for different ICE combustion modes, including Compression Ignition Combustion (CI) [26,[28][29][30][31]34,35,40,45,[47][48][49][50]53,135,137,139,[141][142][143]145,147,148,150], Spark Ignition (SI) [25,33,36,[41][42][43]51,52,54,136,138,140,144], and Low Temperature Combustion (LTC) [21,22,27,[37][38][39]108,129,130].…”

“…MPC has also been implemented in wide varieties of engine size ranging including a single cylinder [37,108,138], four cylinder [21,22,25,27,35,42,45,[51][52][53]129,130,137,139,140,143], six cylinder [28][29][30]54,135,147], and eight cylinder [36,43,149] [21,22,27,28,37,53,108,129,130,137,138,143], 2.0 < V d ≤ 7.0 [25,30,31,35,36,38,39,41,42,45,51,<...>…”
