GOALI: Modeling, Analysis and Control of Advanced TechnologyEngines

本文介绍了先进技术火花点火发动机的建模、分析和控制方面的基础研究。研究的目标是发展、适应和应用系统理论概念来解决汽车发动机在满足性能和驾驶性能要求的同时减少排放的问题。联邦法规正在推动先进发动机技术的发展，以满足日益增长的低排放需求。这些发动机基本上是由非线性、混合（混合连续时间和离散时间）数学模型描述的，需要复杂的控制系统才能正常工作。PI将与福特的工程师合作，以便能够使用发动机测功机来收集构建和验证发动机模型所需的数据，并评估现代的、基于模型的反馈设计概念。这是一项独特的校企合作研究安排，旨在开发和应用先进的系统理论和控制方法来解决社会重要问题。＊＊＊

9631237 Grizzle This proposal describes basic research in the modeling, analysis and control of advanced technology, spark ignition engines. The goal of the research is to develop, adapt and apply system theoretic notions to the problem of reducing emissions in automobile engines while meeting performance and drivability requirements. Federal regulations are driving the development of advanced engine technology to meet the ever increasing demands for lower emissions. These engines are fundamentally described by nonlinear, hybrid (mixed continuous and discrete time) mathematical models, and require sophisticated control systems for their proper functioning. The PI will partner with engineers at Ford in order to have access to engine dynamometers for collecting the data required to construct and validate the engine models, and for evaluating modern, model-based feedback design concepts. This is a unique university-industry cooperative research arrangement for developing and applying advanced system theory and control methods to problems important to society. ***
