Robust Adaptive Controller for the Diesel Engine Air Path with Input Saturation

Abstract : In this paper, we design an adaptive controller for the diesel engine air path with a priori consideration of actuator saturation effects to regulate the exhaust manifold pressure and the compressor flow rate. The originality of the proposed approach is the integration of an auxiliary system to compensate the saturation effects. Simulation results of the diesel engine air path are given to show the efficiency of the proposed approach.
