  2. 16. Modeling, Control and Optimization of theTransient Torque Response in DownsizedTurbocharged Spark Ignited Engines

    Author : Oscar Flärdh; Håkan Hjalmarsson; Jonas Mårtensson; Per Tunestål; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engine modeling; Engine control; Transient torque response; Downsizing; Transient optimization;

    Abstract : Increasing demands for lower carbon dioxide emissions and fuel consumption drive technological developments for car manufacturers. One trend that has shown success for reducing fuel consumption in spark ignited engines is downsizing, where the engine size is reduced to save fuel and a turbocharger is added to maintain the power output.

  4. 17. Torque based combustion property estimation and control for diesel engines

    Author : Mikael Thor; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Crankshaft torque measurements; Engine control; Combustion modeling; Diesel engines; Closed-loop control; Internal combustion engines; Combustion property estimation; Combustion phasing;

    Abstract : Modern diesel engines are becoming increasingly complex as a result of demands on the reduction of both fuel consumption and emissions. This escalating complexity not only applies to the engine itself, but also to its control system. READ MORE

  5. 18. Model Error Compensation in ODE and DAE Estimators : with Automotive Engine Applications

    Author : Erik Höckerdal; Erik Frisk; James Peyton-Jones; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Information technology; Informationsteknik; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

    Abstract : Control and diagnosis of complex systems demand accurate information of the system state to enable efficient control and to detect system malfunction. Physical sensors are expensive and some quantities are hard or even impossible to measure with physical sensors. This has made model-based estimation an attractive alternative. READ MORE

  6. 19. Fuel-Efficient Look-Ahead Control for Heavy-Duty Vehicles with Varying Velocity Demands

    Author : Manne Held; Jonas Mårtensson; Oscar Flärdh; Ardalan Vahidi; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; look-ahead control; optimal control; powertrain control; advanced driver assistance systems; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : The fuel consumption of heavy-duty vehicles can be reduced by using information about the upcoming road section when controlling the vehicles. Most manufacturers of heavy-duty vehicles today offer such look-ahead controllers for highway driving, where the information consists of the road grade and the velocity only has small variations.
