1 Robust Model Predictive Control of a Diesel Engine Airpath

Abstract: Model predictive control represents one of the most promising methods, also in fast industrial applications like a Diesel engine. But especially Diesel engine control meets problems of uncertainties and disturbances, thus model-plant mismatch is omnipresent, which obviously decreases the performance of model based control. This paper compares different robust predictive control strategies applied to a Diesel engine airpath. 1
