Development and experimental validation of a control-oriented Diesel engine model for fuel consumption and brake torque predictions

This article 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 with only two inputs: torque request and the engine speed and no other measurements. Such a model, with the capability of reliably and computationally efficiently estimating the aforementioned variables at both steady-state and transient …
