Abstract

A robust multivariable feedback control strategy is applied to an engine-dynamometer system to achieve independent engine torque and speed control. The multivariable engine-dynamometer model is developed using a spectral estimation technique in which the system nonlinearities are captured by an interval transfer function. The controllers are designed using a sequential, frequency domain methodology which employs the standard QFT plant templates. The controllers are implemented on an 8.3L DI turbocharged diesel engine and eddy current dynamometer maintained at Cummins Engine Company. The controllers are evaluated based upon the ability of the closed loop system to track step and ramp inputs.
