Supervisory control of air–fuel ratio in spark ignition engines

Abstract The problem of air–fuel ratio stabilization in spark ignition engines is addressed in this paper. The proposed strategy consists of proper switching among two control laws to improve quality of the closed-loop system. The first control law is based on an 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, it provides on-line adaptive adjustment to the current fluctuations and improves accuracy of the closed-loop system. The supervisor realizes a switching rule between these control laws providing better performance of regulation. Results of implementation on two vehicles are reported and discussed.
