Internal combustion (IC) engines are optimized to meet exhaust emission requirements with the best fuel economy. The mean-value engine model can be used to validate control strategies for different types of controllers that are model-based. The equations that are used to calculate the outputs of the model are approximated over an engine cycle. A significant advantage of the mean-value engine model is its low computational throughput which makes it possible for real-time simulation. In order to reduce engine emissions and improving engine fuel economy, closed loop combustion control, which requires cycleto-cycle combustion measurement such as cylinder pressure, is a necessity. The addition of a cylinder pressure signal to a mean value engine model will allow for developing closed loop combustion control strategies (or other strategies that involve cylinder pressure) to be validated. This is because the cylinder pressure model can produce a cylinder pressure signal for a complete engine operational map and a mean value engine model can produce real world engine parameters and conditions. The performance of the baseline computed fuel controller is compared with that of a baseline proportional, integral, and derivative (PID) controller.
