Physics-Based Model Predictive Control of HCCI Combustion Phasing Using Fast Thermal Management and VVA
Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is a promising internal combustion engine concept. It holds promise of combining low emission levels with high efficiency. However, as ignition timing in HCCI operation lacks direct actuation and is highly sensitive to operating conditions and disturbances, robust closed-loop control is necessary. To facilitate control design and allow for porting of
