Advanced combustion mode control for modern engines

Internal combustion (IC) engines are widely used in the world and in the following decades, it will remain the major source of transportation power. However, the emissions of IC engines, are demonstrated have negative impact on the human health as well as the whole environment. Hence, stringent emission norms are continuously imposed on IC engines. This project focuses on reducing the emissions and increasing efficiency simultaneously by applying advanced combustion modes. The estimation and control methods regarding the advance combustion mode will be designed and validated through experimental study and test, which will lay solid foundation for further research.
