A General Framework For a Diesel Engine Air Path
Résumé
This paper presents the formulation of a parameterized Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) scheme to be applied on a Diesel engine air path. The most important feature of the proposed controller is that it uses no structural properties of the system model. Therefore, the proposed NMPC scheme can be applied to any nonlinear system, leading to a general framework for a Diesel engine air path. Moreover, the computational burden is substantially reduced due to an optimization problem of low dimension obtained by means of the parameterized approach. Simulation results and an experimental validation are presented in order to emphasize the controller's efficiency and the real-time implementability.
