Design of an Adaptive Control to Feed Hydrogen-Enriched Ethanol-Gasoline Blend to an Internal Combustion Engine

Abstract

In this work, an internal combustion (IC) engine air-fuel ratio (AFR) control system is presented and evaluated by simulation. The control scheme aims to regulate the overall air-fuel ratio (AFRoverall) in an IC engine fueled with a hydrogen-enriched ethanol-gasoline blend (E10) as fast as possible. The control scheme designed and developed in this work considers two control laws, a feedback control law to regulate the hydrogen and adaptive nonlinear control law for controlling the E10 mass flow injection. The main contribution of this work is the reduction of the number of controllers used for controlling the overall air-fuel ratio since other control strategies use two controllers for controlling the E10 mass flow injection. Simulation results have shown the effectiveness of the new control scheme.

An elite approach to re-design Aquila optimizer for efficient AFR system control

“…The simulation results demonstrated the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control scheme, outperforming the PI controller with Smith predictor under different operating conditions. It is feasible to extend the similar works that is mentioned above [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

Sensor fault‐tolerant control for an internal combustion engine

“…According to the authors in References 21 and 22, the total mass fuel flow ($$$ {\dot{m}}_f $$$) injected into the cylinders is calculated by Equation (). Where ($$$ {\dot{m}}_{fl} $$$) and ($$$ {\dot{m}}_{fv} $$$) are the fuel film flow () and the fuel vapor fraction () into the cylinder, respectively.…”
