A model predictive control framework for industrial turbodiesel engine control

This article describes the development and implementation of a practical explicit model predictive control (MPC) approach that allows subcontrollers to receive and accommodate time-varying setpoints and constraints from higher levels in standard industrial automotive controller hierarchies. The MPC approach requires a small computational footprint that is suitable for implementation within a modern electronic control unit (ECU). This article presents the approach, method of implementation, and preliminary results on a 2.2 litre turbodiesel engine.
