Switching control of air-fuel ratio in spark ignition engines

The problem of air-fuel ratio (AFR) stabilization in spark ignition engines is addressed in this paper. The proposed strategy consists of proper switching among two control laws to improve the quality of the closed-loop system. The first control law is based on the a priori off-line identified engine model and ensures robust and reliable stabilization of the system at large, while the second control law is adaptive, provides on-line adaptive adjustment to the current fluctuations and improves the accuracy of the closed-loop system. The supervisor realizes the switching rule between these control laws providing better performance for AFR regulation. Results of application are reported and discussed.
