- Abstract
- This paper describes robust multi-input, multi-output controller for the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) systems of passenger car diesel engines. The air-to-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas and boost pressure of the intake manifold were selected as performance indicators in this paper. To enable the online calibration of the controller, proportional-integral-derivative (PID) was used as a feedback controller. Using quantitative feedback theory (QFT), two control loops for air-to-fuel ratio and boost pressure were independently designed with linearized models and parameter uncertainties. The prefilters and PID gains of two control loops were designed for satisfying required robust stability and tracking performance using the QFT design framework. Furthermore, the problems originated from the cross-coupled dynamics between the EGR and VGT systems were mitigated by a static decoupler. Using the proposed design steps, PID and decoupler gains of the representative 15 engine operating points which are mainly used in New European Driving Cycle were obtained. The proposed controller was validated through various test conditions of engine experiments. From the step responses and transient experiments, it was demonstrated that the required robustness and tracking performance were successfully achieved.
