Steady state fuel consumption optimization through feedback control of estimated cylinder individual efficiency

Lewander, Magnus LU ; Widd, Anders LU ; Tunestål, Per LU and Johansson, Bengt LU (2012) American Control Conference, 2012 In Proceedings of the American Control Conference p.4210-4214
Abstract
Engine efficiency is often controlled in an indirect
way through combustion timing control. This requires a priori
knowledge of where to phase the combustion for different
operating points and conditions. With cylinder individual efficiency
estimation, control strategies aiming directly at fuel
consumption optimization can be developed. It has previously
been shown that indicated efficiency can be estimated using the
cylinder pressure trace. This paper presents a method to use
the estimated efficiency as a feedback variable in an extremum
seeking control strategy for online steady state fuel consumption
optimization. The experimental results show that the controller
manages to find the maximum... (More)
