Abstract: Real-time model is one of the key elements in Hardware In Loop (HIL) simulations. A new Crush Natural Gas (CNG) Turbo Engine model and HIL simulation platform are presented in this paper. The platform provides simulations of engine speed, torque, dynamic load, turbo, exhaust gas temperature and emissions conditions. The platform is based on Matlab/Simulink, Labview and can be seamlessly connected with a CNG engine control unit (ECU). Simulation results indicate that platform provide us higher development efficiency as well as lower reduce development expense of ECU.

Abstract: A new approach is presented in this paper in which a Crush Natural Gas (CNG) Turbo Engine model based on Mean Value Model and transient dynamics are included. The model could simulate engine speed, torque, dynamic load, electronic throttle, turbo, temperature and emission conditions. The model was downloaded and run in a HIL platform joint with Labview and a CNG engine ECU. Simulation results indicate that it acquires good balance between Real-time response and dynamic accuracy, besides good comprehensive running status parameters including dynamic, mechanic, thermo and combustion. The model made it possible for electronic engineers to begin their works earlier to find solutions for power loss, high working temperature of CNG engine with more flexibility and lower bench test expense.

Abstract: Electronic throttle is a typical nonlinear device because of the nonlinear reset springs. Normal sliding mode control usually leads to chattering. To reduce chatters, a sliding mode control method based on compensation of nonlinearity is proposed, in which an observer is designed to observe and compensate the nonlinearity. A Lyapunov function was constructed to prove that control system is stable. Simulation and experiment results indicate that the proposed method can reduce chatters and achieve good control robustness.
