A model reduction case study: automotive engine air path

Nilsson, Oskar LU ; Rantzer, Anders LU orcid and Chauvin, J (2006) 2006 IEEE Conference on Computer Aided Control System Design, 2006 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications, 2006 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control p.851-856
Abstract
Low complexity plant models are essential for model based control design. Often a detailed high order model is available and simplification to a low order approximative model is needed. This paper presents a case study of two model reduction methodologies applied on the automotive engine air path. The first methodology is based on balanced truncation of models obtained by linearization around equilibria and trajectories. Under appropriate assumptions, this technique yields strict bounds on the approximation error. The second is a heuristic methodology, based on intuition commonly used when modeling engine dynamics. Although it is successfully used in practice, the approximation error is seldom known. The two methodologies are used to... (More)
