Abstract

In this study, we propose a new method for estimating the IMEP using difference pressure, which is the pressure difference between the cylinder pressure and the motoring pressure. The estimated IMEP, denoted as $IMEP_{diff}$, optimizes the theoretical IMEP calculation range based on the fact that the difference pressure exists between the start and the end of combustion. $IMEP_{diff}$ is verified to have a high linear correlation with IMEP with $R^2$ of 0.9955. The proposed method can estimate the IMEP with 21% of the cylinder pressure data and 31% of the calculation effort compared to the theoretical IMEP calculation method, and therefore, it has great potential for real-time implementations. The estimation and control performance of $IMEP_{diff}$ is validated by engine experiments, and by controlling $IMEP_{diff}$, the torque variation between the cylinders was reduced.

이 연구에서는 실린더 압력과 모터링 압력의 차이인 차이 압력(difference pressure)을 이용하여 IMEP를 추정하는 방법을 제안하고, 추정된 IMEP를 $IMEP_{diff}$로 정의하였다. $IMEP_{diff}$는 차이 압력이 연소 시작 시점에서 연소 종료 시점까지만 존재하는 압력이라는 사실에 기반하여 이론적인 IMEP 계산식의 연산 구간을 최적화한 것으로 IMEP와 비교 시 $R^2$ 0.9955의 높은 선형관계를 보였다. 또한 이론적인 IMEP 계산 방법과 비교하여 21 %의 실린더 압력 데이터 및 31 %의 계산량만으로 IMEP 획득이 가능하여 실시간 제어에 용이하다. $IMEP_{diff}$ 추정 및 제어 성능은 엔진 실험을 통하여 검증하였으며, $IMEP_{diff}$ 제어를 통하여 실린더 간 토크 편차 감소를 확인하였다.
