Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach for model-based estimation of the crank-angle resolved port pressure and valve flow rate based on an observer that estimates the pressure wave propagation dynamics in the engine manifolds. This paper illustrates an early proof of this concept, focusing on estimating the exhaust port pressure of a single cylinder gasoline engine where pressure fluctuations are larger and temperature is higher compared to the intake side. Starting from a reduced-order model of the system, an Extended Kalman Filter is designed to estimate pressure and flow rate in the exhaust system using a high-frequency measurement of the cylinder pressure. Simulation results show that the observer converges quickly during the early portion of the exhaust phase and that the port pressure is estimated accurately during the valve overlap phase.
