Neuro-controller for reducing cyclic variation in lean combustion spark ignition engines (Q2486089)

Based on Daw's model of the cycle dynamics in spark ignition engines under lean condition, the authors propose a very interesting controller strategy for reducing the cyclic variation in the heat release without knowing the engine dynamics, residual gas fraction and combustion efficiency. For the nonlinear mathematical model used in controller design some stability conditions are presented. In the final part of this work, an illustrative example confirms the advantage of the proposed controller scheme.
