Abstract

This paper illustrates the application of hybrid modeling and receding horizon optimal control techniques to the problem of air-to-fuel ratio and torque management in advanced technology gasoline direct injection stratified charge (DISC) engines. A DISC engine represents an example of a constrained hybrid system, because it can operate in two discrete modes (stratified and homogeneous) and because the mode-dependent constraints on the air-to-fuel ratio and on the spark timing need to be enforced. The paper extends the prior work by the authors [1] and reports the development of an explicit controller which implements the optimal solution using piecewise affine functions of the state, thereby avoiding the need for on-line optimization. Strategies to simplify the explicit controller by reducing the number of regions in its characterization are discussed.
