Abstract This paper concerns the problem of controlling a diesel engine with a variable geometry turbine (VGT). The idea presented is to use the variable geometry of the turbine for controlling the amount of inlet air and the objective is to combine air-to-fuel ratio control with engine speed or engine torque control. The nonlinear controller is designed using so called backstepping. The control strategy seems to have a great potential, since the combustion efficiency can be kept high while reducing the turbo-lag and the emission level. The control algorithms can be extended to handle powertrain control applications. The application studied here is control of driveline oscillations.

The introduction of modern diesel fuel supply systems and the use of electronic components in control systems provide new possibilities for shaping engine characteristics targeted at specific energy consumers. Under these conditions, the type of engine characteristics is determined by the operation of the air supply system. This work examines the formation of static characteristics for a promising D500 diesel engine for train and ship power plants. Modeling of the diesel operation modes is carried out on computer models in the MATLAB/Simulink and Diesel-RK software packages. Variants of the full-load curves of the diesel engine are presented for different ways of turbocharger control: using a turbine of variable geometry and with sequential turbocharging. The fuel supply is limited according to the air-fuel ratio and the maximum pressure in the engine cylinders. For a variable geometry turbine, a matrix of the positions of the guide vane blades is obtained from the condition of optimizing diesel modes for fuel efficiency. Possibilities to obtain the efficiency characteristic that would provide the minimal fuel consumption for train and ship power plants are shown.

This paper is a study into the possibility of using new control strategies in a standard car. The air system of a diesel engine equipped with a variable geometry turbine and an EGR system (EGR valve and throttle) is considered. New strategies, like GPC or H∞ permit an improvement of the control of both the fresh air flow and the intake manifold pressure. These strategies are not used today in standard car due to the mismatch of both the instrumentation of the ECU’s calculation power. The cost of proposed technology to meet the next emission norm are presented. Some low cost solutions are presented to permit an improvement of the engine control.
