Abstract
Abstract. — Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion is characterized by a very high rate of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR). This improves mixing and dilution in the cylinders, reduces pollutant formation at the expense of combustion stability. Thus HCCI engines requires real-time control to ensure a good trade–off between performance (in terms of torque production and low pollutant emissions) and combustion stability. Such closed-loop control are based on estimation of combustion parameters that are not directly measured.
This thesis, supported by IFP (Institut Français du Pétrole), proposes some control algorithms that have been tested experimentally on a 4–cylinders HCCI engine developed by IFP. We decompose the control synthesis in three steps. We propose solutions with experimental validations for the first two steps.
The first step is air path control. The goal is to estimate and to control the masses entering in the cylinders (fresh air and burned gas). These masses are directly related to collector pressure, compositions and flow-rates. These variables are estimated via nonlinear observers using commercial cars sensors. Design and theoretical convergence proof follow linearization via output injection and Lyapunov argument. Feedforward control based on motion planning for differentially flat systems are used to derive the flow-rate set points (fresh air and EGR). This feedforward control takes explicitly physical input constraints into account. Finally, fast Proportional Integral (PI) controller are designed to track these step points using as measured values the above estimations. We describe experimental results for large torque transient and also for driving phases of the eurocycle.
The second step is cylinder balancing. The goal is to estimate and control the combustion parameters in order to guarantee that all the cylinders have the same combustion in any steady-state regime. For that, we design instantaneous torque and cylinder individual air/fuel ratio (AFR) observers using commercial car sensors. We exploit here the high frequency information contained in the measured signals (sampling of 6 degree crank angle). Experimental results are reported. These results are based on a new class on asymptotic observers of an arbitrary numbers of Fourier modes associated to an unknown periodic input entering a linear time-periodic system. These observers outperform Kalman filters in terms of computation burden. Design and convergence proof are based on averaging techniques. A gain design methodology is proposed and justified for large numbers of modes via extension to infinite dimension of the finite-dimensional convergence analysis.
The third step is the fuel path control. During large transient, the fuel path must follow the slower air path transient. We describe this still open problematic and point out its main difficulties.
