Abstract

This paper proposes a common rail pressure control algorithm for passenger car diesel engines. For handling the parameter-varying characteristics of common rail systems, the quantitative feedback theory (QFT) is applied to the design of a robust rail pressure control algorithm. The driving current of the pressure control valve and the common rail pressure are used as the input/output variables for the common rail system model. The model parameter uncertainty ranges are identified through experiments. Rail pressure controller requirements in terms of tracking performance, robust stability, and disturbance rejection are defined on a Nichols chart, and these requirements are fulfilled by designing a compensator and a prefilter in the QFT framework. The proposed common rail pressure control algorithm is validated through engine experiments. The experimental results show that the proposed rail pressure controller has a good degree of consistency under various operating conditions, and it successfully satisfies the requirements for reference tracking and disturbance rejection.

이 연구에서는 Quantitative Feedback Theory(QFT) 기법을 이용한 승용디젤엔진의 커먼레일 압력제어 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 커먼레일 압력모델의 입력과 출력은 각각 Pressure Control Valve(PCV) 구동전류와 커먼레일 압력으로 정의하였고, Metering Unit(MeUn)이 커먼레일 압력에 미치는 영향은 모델 파라미터 불확실성으로 정의하였다. QFT 기법은 이러한 모델의 불확실성에 대하여 강건하면서도 정량적 요구사항을 만족할 수 있는 제어알고리즘 설계방법을 제시한다. 제안된 커먼레일 압력제어기는 목표 레일압력 추종성능과 안정성능이 확보되었으며, 인젝터에 의한 연료분사가 커먼레일 압력에 미치는 영향을 줄이기 위하여 외란제거성능(Disturbance Rejection)이 고려되었다. 설계된 제어 알고리즘은 엔진 동력계 실험을 통하여 검증하였으며, MeUn 구동전류와 연료분사량의 급격한 변화에 따른 제어알고리즘의 강건성과 외란제거성능을 검증하였다.
