Development and Experimental Validation of a Control-Oriented Diesel Engine Fuel Consumption and Brake Torque Predictive Model for Hybrid Powertrain Control Applications

This paper describes the development and experimental validation of a control-oriented, real-time-capable, Diesel engine instantaneous fuel consumption and brake torque model under warmed-up conditions. Such a model, with the capability of reliably and computationally-efficiently estimating the aforementioned variables at steady-state and transient engine operating conditions, can be utilized in the context of real-time control and optimization …
