Basically, the control variables to be determined are the amounts of jump in the continuous states such that a corresponding cost functional is minimized. Based on a variational approach, necessary conditions of optimality are first established. The problem is then cast as a parametric optimization problem where the gradient information is derived. Finally and under some assumptions, convergence to the optimal solution of a conceptual algorithm is established. A brief discussion on the main implementation issues is also included.","PeriodicalId":176828,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122154519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In general gasoline engines, engine load is controlled by throttling. On the other hand, CVTL can control engine load by altering intake valve lift and valve opening period under all engine load and speed conditions. Hence, CVTL requires high-precision control of intake valve lift in order to realize small engine load change at low engine speed condition such as idle condition. However, the dynamics of CVTL indicates non-linear characteristics, for example mechanical friction, backlash and hysteresis, because CVTL is generally composed of some gears and multi-link mechanisms. Therefore, it is difficult to realize smooth and small micro step of valve lift. This difficulty worsens the stability of idle speed control and smoothness of drivability. Consequently, a sliding-mode controller using delta-sigma modulation instead of previous non-linear switching input was developed and introduced to the valve lift control of CVTL. The sliding-mode controller could significantly improve the precision and smoothness of valve lift control.","PeriodicalId":176828,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications","volume":"272 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131610562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mixed-sensitivity minimization techniques are exploited in order to design the loop controller.

The controller has an inner current control loop with a bank of passive resonators working in parallel that contribute with a high gain to track the desired current reference. The outer control loop takes care of the regulation of the mean value of the DC output voltage of the converter.

The controller makes the control bandwidth wider, and at the same time makes a variation of the output voltage small at sudden changes of loads and the input voltages. In this paper, a new approximate 2DOF digital controller using additional zeros is proposed. The new controller makes a variation of the output voltage more small at sudden changes of loads and the input voltages. This controller is actually implemented on a DSP and is connected to a DC-DC converter.
