Airflow control systems and methods using model predictive control

摘要

A torque requesting module generates a first torque request for a spark ignition engine based on driver input. A torque conversion module converts the first torque request into a second torque request. A setpoint control module, based on the second torque request, generates a mass of air per cylinder (APC) setpoint, an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) setpoint, an intake valve phasing setpoint, and an exhaust valve phasing setpoint. A model predictive control (MPC) module: identifies sets of possible target values based on the APC, EGR, intake valve phasing, and exhaust valve phasing setpoints; generates predicted parameters based on a model of the spark ignition engine and the sets of possible target values, respectively; selects one of the sets of possible target values based on the predicted parameters; and sets target values based on the possible target values of the selected one of the sets.

1. An engine control system for a vehicle, comprising:
a torque requesting module that generates a first torque request for a spark ignition engine based on driver input; a torque conversion module that converts the first torque request into a second torque request; a setpoint control module that, based on the second torque request, generates a mass of air per cylinder (APC) setpoint, an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) setpoint, an intake valve phasing setpoint, and an exhaust valve phasing setpoint; a model predictive control (MPC) module that identifies sets of possible target values based on the APC, EGR, intake valve phasing, and exhaust valve phasing setpoints, that generates predicted parameters based on a model of the spark ignition engine and the sets of possible target values, respectively, that selects one of the sets of possible target values based on the predicted parameters, and that sets target values based on the possible target values of the selected one of the sets; and a throttle actuator module that controls opening of a throttle valve based on a first one of the target values.
