Introduction to Modeling and Control of Internal Combustion Engine Systems - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Lino Guzzella was born in Zurich,  Switzerland in 1957. He received the diploma in Mechanical Engineering in 1981 and the Dr. sc. techn. degree in control engineering in 1986 from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH),  Zurich.  From 1987 to 1993 he held various positions in industry and academia.  He then joined the mechanical engineering depart­ment of ETH as a faculty member where he is currently a chaired professor for thermotronics. His research interests are modeling of dynamic systems, non­linear and robust control and applications of these ideas to thermal and especially automotive systems. Among others, he received the IEEE Control Systems Magazine Outstanding Paper Award and the IEEE Industry Award for Excellence in Translational Control Research, the SAE Arch T. Colwell Merit Award and the SAE Ralph R. Teetor Educational Award,  the IMechE Thomas Hawksley Medal and the ImechE Crompton Lancaster Medal, and the Energy Globe Award. He is a fellow of IFAC and of IEEE and a member of the Swiss Academy of Engineering Sciences. A complete CV and a list of publications can be found at http://www.idsc.ethz.ch  Antonio Sciarretta was born in Ortona, Italy, in 1970. He received the Laurea in Mechanical Engineering in 1995, and the Doctorate degree (Thermal machines) in 1999, both from the University of L'Aquila, Italy. He earned a Habilitation (Control Eng.) in 2009 from the Grenoble Institute of Technology, France. After several teaching and research experiences in Italy and Switzerland, particularly at ETH Zurich of which he is still a scientific collaborator, in 2006 he joined the Control, Signals, and Systems Department of IFP Energies Nouvelles, Rueil Malmaison, France. Since 2009 he is IFPEN Expert for"Hybrid vehicles and energy management" as well as titular of the Tuck foundation Chair on the same subject at IFP School. He has actively contributed to the development of hybrid-vehicle activities at IFPEN and he is currently managing research activities on control and optimization for vehicle electrification. Author of around 70 scientific publications and several patent files, he contributes to the scientific and professional community also as a journal editor, conference organizer, and project evaluator.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Internal combustion engines (ICE) still have potential for substantial improvements, particularly with regard to fuel efficiency and environmental compatibility. In order to fully exploit the remaining margins, increasingly sophisticated control systems have to be applied. This book offers an introduction to cost-effective model-based control-system design for ICE. The primary emphasis is put on the ICE and its auxiliary devices. Mathematical models for these processes are developed and solutions for selected feedforward and feedback control-problems are presented.

The discussions concerning pollutant emissions and fuel economy of ICE in automotive applications constantly intensified since the first edition of this book was published. Concerns about the air quality, the limited resources of fossil fuels and the detrimental effects of greenhouse gases exceedingly spurred the interest of both the industry and academia in further improvements.

The most important changes and additions included in this second edition are:

• restructured and slightly extended section on superchargers;
• short subsection on rotational oscillations and their treatment on engine test-benches;
• complete section on modeling, detection, and control of engine knock;
• improved physical and chemical model for the three-way catalytic converter;
• new methodology for the design of an air-to-fuel ratio controller;
• short introduction to thermodynamic engine-cycle calculation and corresponding control-oriented aspects
