Experimental Validation of Combustion Control with Multi-Pulse Fuel Injection
conference paper
Closed-loop combustion control helps to achieve precise fuel injection and robust engine performance against disturbances. The controller design complexity increases greatly with larger number of fuel injection pulses due to the coupled influence of changing individual pulse on the combustion process. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate the potential of a novel design methodology, which automatically computes a multivariable combustion controller. Using a one-cylinder test bench, we tested a single combustion controller in both the nominal and the disturbed operating condition with varied EGR valve position. The controller shows robust closed-loop stability and fast dynamical performance in both conditions as well as during the transition in between.
