Book excerpt: The homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine is an attractive technology because of its high efficiency and low emissions. However, HCCI lacks a direct combustion trigger making control of combustion timing challenging, especially during transients. To aid in HCCI engine control we present a simple model of the HCCI combustion process valid over a range of intake pressures, intake temperatures, equivalence ratios, and engine speeds. The model provides an estimate of the combustion timing on a cycle-by-cycle basis. An ignition threshold, which is a function of the in-cylinder motored temperature and pressure is used to predict start of combustion. This model allows the synthesis of nonlinear control laws, which can be utilized for control of an HCCI engine during transients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With growing environmental concern, energy consumption has become a key element in the current debate on global warming. Over the past two decades, Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine technology has aroused a great deal of interest in the automotive sector owing to its fuel flexibility and ability to generate ultra-low exhaust emissions. One of the strategies to achieve ultra-low emissions in HCCI engines is to retain some exhaust gas/burnt products in the cylinder by dynamically actuating/varying valve opening and closing timings and lifts. This can be achieved by recent advancements in microprocessor, actuators and controller technologies. The first step in the synthesis of control algorithms involves developing simple system-level mathematical models. This thesis presents two such mathematical models of HCCI combustion. In the first part of this thesis, a control-oriented two-zone thermo-kinetic model of a single cylinder HCCI engine is presented. Earlier control laws were derived using single zone mathematical models of HCCI combustion; however, such models fail to accurately capture the combustion dynamics of an HCCI engine owing to the assumption of homogeneous composition and temperature in the cylinder. Certain multi-zone models of HCCI engines emphasizing the shortcomings of these single zone models have also been reported in literature. However, such models are far too complex and unwieldy for the development of fast and efficient controllers for HCCI engines. The present work outlines the modeling approach of a physics based two-zone model of a single-cylinder HCCI engine by incorporating the first law of thermodynamics and the temperature and concentration inhomogeneities within the cylinder in order to better predict emissions, peak pressures, and timing. A comparative analysis between the single zone and two-zone models is also discussed. The nonlinear model was linearized about an operating point to facilitate the development of an effective LQR regulator. The model inputs include variable valve timing to effectively control peak pressures, exhaust temperatures and ignition timing. In the second part of the thesis we address the shortcomings of control analysis which to date has been done by developing models that are engine specific, such models often rely on extensive parameters which are to be experimentally identified. Moreover, further investigation revealed that these models were valid only for a narrow operating range. Therefore, a detailed mathematical model of an HCCI engine, which is fuel flexible and valid for transitions in engine speed, is developed based on ideal gas laws and basic thermodynamics and conservation principles. The different engine subsystems and engine phenomena discretized into eight stages are modeled in a "control-oriented sense" to address the combustion timing, peak pressure and heat release rate control issues. The model has been implemented in MATLAB® to facilitate simulation studies and requires minimum tuning parameters to be experimentally recognized. Model validation is based on three sets of engine data, obtained from literature. The validation suggests that the model, once tuned properly, shows a fair agreement between the simulation and experimental data for a given engine and operating conditions.

Book excerpt: Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) Engines hold promises of being the next generation of internal combustion engines due to their ability to produce high thermal efficiencies and low emission levels. HCCI combustion is achieved through the auto-ignition of a compressed homogenous fuel-air mixture, thus making it a "fusion" between spark-ignition and compression-ignition engines. The main challenge in developing HCCI engines is the absence of a combustion trigger hence making it difficult to control its combustion timing. The aim of this research project is to model and control a natural gas HCCI engine. Since HCCI depends primarily on temperature and chemical composition of the mixture, Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) is used to control ignition timing. In this research, a thermodynamical, physics-based nonlinear model is developed to capture the main features of the HCCI engine. In addition, the Modified Knock Integral Model (MKIM), used to predict ignition timing, is optimized. To validate the nonlinear model, ignition timing under varying conditions using the MKIM approach is shown to be in accordance with data acquired from a model developed using a sophisticated engine simulation program, GT-Power. Most control strategies are based on a linear model, therefore, the nonlinear model is linearized using the perturbation method. The linear model is validated by comparing its performance with the nonlinear model about a suitable operating point. The control of ignition timing can be defined as a regulation process where the goal is to force the nonlinear model to track a desired ignition timing by controlling the EGR ratio. Parameters from the linear model are used to determine the gains of the LQR controller. The performance of the controller is validated by implementing it on the nonlinear model and observing its ability to track the desired timing with 0.5% error within a certain operating range. To increase the operating range of the controller and reduce steady-state error, an integrator is added to the LQR. Finally, it is shown that the LQR controller is able to successfully reject disturbance, parameter variation, as well as noise.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mounting evidence of anthropogenic climate change necessitates a significant effort to improve the internal combustion (IC) engine and reduce its adverse environmental impacts resulting from its ubiquitous use powering ground transportation. Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engines present a promising opportunity to reduce the environmental consequences of using IC engines by reusing exhaust from one engine cycle to initiate combustion on the following engine cycle. The presence of high retained exhaust ratios in HCCI engines results in dilute, low-temperature combustion that achieves greater efficiencies and lower CO2 and NOx emissions than conventional spark-ignited or diesel engines. However, three critical obstacles prevent them from being widely adopted: first, unlike conventional IC engines, HCCI engines lack a direct combustion trigger to determine when combustion occurs, and that lack of a direct trigger makes specifying combustion timing challenging. Second, the high quantities of retained exhaust create a strong physical link between engine cycles, resulting in undesirable dynamics that could potentially lead to engine misfire at certain operating conditions. Finally, the high quantities of retained exhaust also prevent the engine from inducting as much fuel and air as possible, limiting the load range of the engine. This dissertation addresses all three of those obstacles by investigating the abilities of different actuators to control combustion timing and improve the dynamics at certain HCCI operating conditions that could be used to expand the load range of HCCI engines. A simple, physical model that represents one engine cycle as a discrete-time, nonlinear system captures the oscillatory dynamics present at certain HCCI operating conditions on an experimental engine. The physical model provides physical intuition about the sources driving the oscillations and the control actions needed to reduce them. A linearized version of the model depicts the source of those oscillations on a root locus, and shows that a negative real axis pole in a discrete-time, linear dynamical system drives the oscillations. Three different actuators, exhaust valve closing timing, pilot fuel injection timing, and main fuel injection mass, each reduce the oscillations. For each actuator, a linearization of the physical model illustrates how each actuator can be used with simple linear control laws to improve the dynamics at HCCI operating conditions. Then, the actuators are compared to each other on three aspects: the difficulty of the control problem associated with using the particular actuator to reduce the oscillations, the difficulty of implementing the actuator in a production vehicle, and the effectiveness of each actuator at reducing the oscillations.

This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the growing focus on energy and environmental issues in the world today, significant efforts are being made in the automotive industry towards the development of sustainable and clean technologies that can power automobiles. One of the most promising engine technologies along these lines is homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI). By using variable valve actuation (VVA) to trap a portion of the exhaust gases and using this to increase the sensible energy of the reactant mixture on the next engine cycle, HCCI allows fast compression ignition of a homogeneous and diluted fuel-air mixture, leading to significantly better efficiency and emissions characteristics in comparison to current technologies. However, due to the lack of a direct combustion trigger, as well as the presence of cycle-to-cycle dynamics where the trapped exhaust from one engine cycle influences combustion on the next, closed-loop control is necessary for the operation of HCCI over a wide operating range. This thesis presents a physical model-based control framework for controlling an HCCI engine with exhaust recompression and direct injection of fuel into the cylinder. A physical model is used to describe the HCCI process, with the model states being closely linked to the thermodynamic state of the cylinder constituents. Simple linear controllers based on this model are used to control the work output and the phasing of combustion on a cycle-by-cycle basis with the use of variable valve timings as well as variable fuel injection quantity. Experimental results from both single and multi-cylinder engine testbeds are presented, demonstrating the value of a physical model-based approach that allows an easy porting of the control structure from one engine to another. The controllers are also seen to be useful in reducing the cyclic variability of combustion at operating points with late combustion phasing, indicating the value of this framework in potentially expanding the operating range of HCCI. Having validated the basic model structure with simple controllers, this thesis then describes the expansion of the modeling framework to include a simple model for the effects of fuel injection during recompression. This represents the first such model of its kind, and it forms the basis for control strategies that use a split fuel injection, with a variable pilot injection timing, to control the phasing of combustion. These include a mid-ranging control scheme where constraints on a realistic implementation of valve actuation such as cam phasers are taken into account. Finally a more comprehensive control framework is developed based on the principle of model predictive control (MPC). The predictive controller is designed for fast tracking of desired load and phasing trajectories while respecting practical constraints on the different actuators as well as other system variables such as air-fuel ratio. Experimental implementation of the MPC scheme demonstrates the promise of this model-based control framework as a practical tool for HCCI control.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been an enormous global research effort to alleviate the current and projected environmental consequences incurred by internal combustion (IC) engines, the dominant propulsion systems in ground vehicles. Two technologies have the potential to improve the efficiency and emissions of IC engines in the near future: variable valve actuation (VVA) and homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI). IC engines equipped with VVA systems are proven to show better performance by adjusting the valve lift and timing appropriately. An electro-hydraulic valve system (EHVS) is a type of VVA system that possesses full flexibility, i.e., the ability to change the valve lift and timing independently and continuously, making it an ideal rapid prototyping tool in a research environment. Unfortunately, an EHVS typically shows a significant response time delay that limits the achievable closed-loop bandwidth and, as a result, shows poor tracking performance. In this thesis, a control framework that includes system identification, feedback control design, and repetitive control design is presented. The combined control law shows excellent performance with a root-mean-square tracking error below 40 [Mu]m over a maximum valve lift of 4 mm. A stability analysis is also provided to show that the mean tracking error converges to zero asymptotically with the combined control law. HCCI, the other technology presented in this thesis, is a combustion strategy initiated by compressing a homogeneous air-fuel mixture to auto-ignition, therefore, ignition occurs at multiple points inside the cylinder without noticeable flame propagation. The result is rapid combustion with low peak in-cylinder temperature, which gives HCCI improved efficiency and reduces NOx formation. To initiate HCCI with a typical compression ratio, the sensible energy of the mixture needs to be high compared to a spark ignited (SI) strategy. One approach to achieve this, called recompression HCCI, is by closing the exhaust valve early to trap a portion of the exhaust gas in the cylinder. Unlike a SI or Diesel strategy, HCCI lacks an explicit combustion trigger, as autoignition is governed by chemical kinetics. Therefore, the thermo-chemical conditions of the air-fuel mixture need to be carefully controlled for HCCI to occur at the desired timing. Compounding this challenge in recompression HCCI is the re-utilization of the exhaust gas which creates cycle-to-cycle coupling. Furthermore, the coupling characteristics can change drastically around different operating points, making combustion timing control difficult across a wide range of conditions. In this thesis, a graphical analysis examines the in-cylinder temperature dynamics of recompression HCCI and reveals three qualitative types of temperature dynamics. With this insight, a switching linear model is formulated by combining three linear models: one for each of the three types of temperature dynamics. A switching controller that is composed of three local linear feedback controllers can then be designed based on the switching model. This switching model/control formulation is tested on an experimental HCCI testbed and shows good performance in controlling the combustion timing across a wide range. A semi-definite program is formulated to find a Lyapunov function for the switching model/control framework and shows that it is stable. As HCCI is dictated by the in-cylinder thermo-chemical conditions, there are further concerns about the robustness of HCCI, i.e., the boundedness of the thermo-chemical conditions with uncertainty existing in the ambient conditions and in the engine's own characteristics due to aging. To assess HCCI's robustness, this thesis presents a linear parameter varying (LPV) model that captures the dynamics of recompression HCCI and possesses an elegant model structure that is more amenable to analysis. Based on this model, a recursive algorithm using convex optimization is formulated to generate analytical statements about the boundedness of the in-cylinder thermo-chemical conditions. The bounds generated by the algorithm are also shown to relate well to the data from the experimental testbed.

Book excerpt: "Low temperature combustion modes, such as Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI), represent a promising means to increase the efficiency and significantly reduce the emissions of internal combustion engines. Implementation and control are difficult, however, due to the lack of an external combustion trigger. This thesis outlines a nonlinear control-oriented model of a single cylinder HCCI engine, which is physically based on a five state thermodynamic cycle. This model is aimed at capturing the behavior of an engine which utilizes fully vaporized gasoline-type fuels, exhaust gas recirculation and intake air heating in order to achieve HCCI operation. The onset of combustion, which is vital for control, is modeled using an Arrhenius Reaction Rate expression which relates the combustion timing to both charge dilution and temperature. To account for a finite HCCI combustion event, the point of constant volume combustion is shifted for SOC to a point of high energy release based on experimental heat release data. The model is validated against experimental data form a single cylinder CI engine operating under HCCI conditions at two different fueling rates. Parameters relevant to control such as combustion timing agree very well with the experiment at both operating conditions. The extension of the model to other fuels is also investigated via the Octane Index (OI) of several different gasoline-type fuels. Since this nonlinear model is developed from a controls perspective, both the output and state update equations are formulated such that they are functions of only the control inputs and state variables, therefore making them directly applicable to state space methods for control. The result is a discrete-time nonlinear control model which provides a platform for developing and validating various nonlinear control strategies"--Abstract, leaf iv

To aid in HCCI engine control during transients, we have developed a model that can be used to derive a controller for a thermally-managed, gasoline and natural gas fueled HCCI engine. The model uses an ignition threshold derived from detailed chemical kinetic simulations of HCCI engine combustion to provide an estimate for the combustion timing. The ignition threshold is a function of both temperature and pressure. An estimate of the residual gas fraction from the previous cycle can also be obtained, which is essential information due to the strong temperature sensitivity of HCCI ignition. This model allows the synthesis of nonlinear control laws, which can be utilized for control of an HCCI engine during transients.

Book excerpt: The central objective of the proposed work is to demonstrate an HCCI (homogeneous charge compression ignition) capable SI (spark ignited) engine that is capable of fast and smooth mode transition between SI and HCCI combustion modes. The model-based control technique was used to develop and validate the proposed control strategy for the fast and smooth combustion mode transition based upon the developed control-oriented engine; and an HCCI capable SI engine was designed and constructed using production ready two-step valve-train with electrical variable valve timing actuating system. Finally, smooth combustion mode transition was demonstrated on a metal engine within eight engine cycles. The Chrysler turbocharged 2.0L I4 direct injection engine was selected as the base engine for the project and the engine was modified to fit the two-step valve with electrical variable valve timing actuating system. To develop the model-based control strategy for stable HCCI combustion and smooth combustion mode transition between SI and HCCI combustion, a control-oriented real-time engine model was developed and implemented into the MSU HIL (hardware-in-the-loop) simulation environment. The developed model was used to study the engine actuating system requirement for the smooth and fast combustion mode transition and to develop the proposed mode transition control strategy. Finally, a single cylinder optical engine was designed and fabricated for studying the HCCI combustion characteristics. Optical engine combustion tests were conducted in both SI and HCCI combustion modes and the test results were used to calibrate the developed control-oriented engine model. Intensive GT-Power simulations were conducted to determine the optimal valve lift (high and low) and the cam phasing range. Delphi was selected to be the supplier for the two-step valve-train and Denso to be the electrical variable valve timing system supplier. A test bench was constructed to develop control strategies for the electrical variable valve timing (VVT) actuating system and satisfactory electrical VVT responses were obtained. Target engine control system was designed and fabricated at MSU for both single-cylinder optical and multi-cylinder metal engines. Finally, the developed control-oriented engine model was successfully implemented into the HIL simulation environment. The Chrysler 2.0L I4 DI engine was modified to fit the two-step vale with electrical variable valve timing actuating system. A used prototype engine was used as the base engine and the cylinder head was modified for the two-step valve with electrical VVT actuating system. Engine validation tests indicated that cylinder #3 has very high blow-by and it cannot be reduced with new pistons and rings. Due to the time constraint, it was decided to convert the four-cylinder engine into a single cylinder engine by blocking both intake and exhaust ports of the unused cylinders. The model-based combustion mode transition control algorithm was developed in the MSU HIL simulation environment and the Simulink based control strategy was implemented into the target engine controller. With both single-cylinder metal engine and control strategy ready, stable HCCI combustion was achived with COV of 2.1% Motoring tests were conducted to validate the actuator transient operations including valve lift, electrical variable valve timing, electronic throttle, multiple spark and injection controls. After the actuator operations were confirmed, 15-cycle smooth combustion mode transition from SI to HCCI combustion was achieved; and fast 8-cycle smooth combustion mode transition followed. With a fast electrical variable valve timing actuator, the number of engine cycles required for mode transition can be reduced down to five. It was also found that the combustion mode transition is sensitive to the charge air and engine coolant temperatures and regulating the corresponding temperatures to the target levels during the combustion mode transition is the key for a smooth combustion mode transition. As a summary, the proposed combustion mode transition strategy using the hybrid combustion mode that starts with the SI combustion and ends with the HCCI combustion was experimentally validated on a metal engine. The proposed model-based control approach made it possible to complete the SI-HCCI combustion mode transition within eight engine cycles utilizing the well controlled hybrid combustion mode. Without intensive control-oriented engine modeling and HIL simulation study of using the hybrid combustion mode during the mode transition, it would be impossible to validate the proposed combustion mode transition strategy in a very short period.
