Semi-automatically optimized calibration of internal combustion engines

Optimization and Control 2019-02-01 v2

Abstract

Modern combustion engines incorporate a number of actuators and sensors that can be used to control and optimize the performance and emissions. We describe a semi-automatic method to simultaneously measure and calibrate the actuator settings and the resulting behavior of the engine. The method includes an adaptive process for refining the measurements, a data cleaning step, and an optimization procedure. The optimization works in a discretized space and incorporates the conditions to describe the dependence between the actuators and the engine behavior as well as emission bounds. We demonstrate our method on practical examples.
