CONTROLLING VARIABLE GEOMETRY TURBOCHARGED DIESEL ENGINES USING SLIDING MODE

Coordinated control of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and variable geometry turbocharging (VGT) is important for emission reduction and performance improvements in diesel engines. In this paper we apply the sliding mode control design methodology based on the concept of “Order of Zero Dynamics” and Block Control Principle to the linearized model of a diesel engine. The basic controller design procedure is reviewed and the controller performance is illustrated with simulation results.
