SIMULATION-BASED CONTROL FOR HCCI POWER SYSTEMS

摘要

A method of controlling an HCCI engine-based power system (6) may include receiving performance information relating to a desired operating state for the HCCI engine-based power system, evaluating operational information associated with a current operating state of the HCCI engine-based power system, and determining one or more control parameter values based on the performance information and the operational information. The method may further include predicting a response of the HCCI engine-based power system based on the one or more control parameter values and determining whether the response satisfies one or more desired performance characteristics associated with the HCCI engine-based power system. If the response satisfies the one or more desired performance characteristics, control of at least one component (38) of the HCCI engine-based power system may be enabled based on the one or more control parameter values. Further, if the predicted response does not satisfy the one or more desired performance characteristics, the method may include varying the one or more control parameter values to provide an updated set of control parameters and implementing the updated set of control parameters to control the at least one component of the HCCI engine-based power system.
