Abstract Modern Diesel engines have become highly complex multi-input multi-output systems. Controls of modern Diesel engines to meet various requirements such as high fuel efficiency and low NOx and particulate matter (PM) emissions, remain a great challenge for automotive control community. While model-based controls have demonstrated significant potentials in achieving high Diesel engine performance. Complete and high-fidelity control-oriented Diesel engine models are much needed as the foundations of model-based control system development. In this study, a semi-physical, mean-value control-oriented model of a turbocharged Diesel engine equipped with high-pressure exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) is developed and experimentally validated. The static calibration of Diesel engine model is achieved with the least-square optimization methodology using the experimental test data from a physical Diesel engine platform. The normalized root mean square errors (NRMSEs) of the calibration results are in the range of 0.1095 to 0.2582. The cross-validation results demonstrated that the model was capable of accurately capturing the engine torque output and NOx emissions with the control inputs of EGR, VGT and Start of Injection timing (SOI) in wide-range operating conditions.

Emissions regulations for off-highway engines are tightening towards those of on-highway engines. Present designs will not be able to meet these more stringent regulations because of their use of mechanical fuel injection timing control; more advanced timing control will be required. Ion sensing combined with variable fuel injection timing may help these engines meet the emissions requirements without the drastic price increase that usually accompanies a switch to advanced fuel injection technology. Ion sensing can detect the start of combustion and this signal can be used for closed loop control for the injection timing. The integrity of the ion signal is highly dependent on combustion chamber geometry, sensor placement, and even the polarity of the charge across the sensor. Optimizing all of these effects could improve the detection of the start of combustion from an ion sensor to less than one crank angle degree and provide a signal for closed loop control of the injection timing.
