Abstract
Preview control has been widely used to improve achievable control bandwidth, for systems with delay or nonminimum phase zeros, when the future desired output or exogenous disturbance is available. A framework for solving the <italic> H</italic><sub>2</sub> and <italic>H</italic><sub>infinity</sub> preview control algorithm for both continuous and discrete time is developed. A Hamiltonian approach is used to derive the full information special problem that minimizes the infinity norm of the transfer function between the exogenous disturbance, <italic>w</italic>, and the performance output, <italic> z</italic>. The resulting solution consists of the standard <italic>H</italic><sub> 2</sub> or <italic>H</italic><sub>infinity</sub> full state feedback term as well as a preview term. In order to extend the preview results to a wider range of problems, the <italic>H</italic><sub>infinity</sub> preview output feedback controller is developed. The formulation consists of the development of several preview special problems that are used together with a separation argument to obtain the output feedback case. The dynamic output feedback controller consists of a feedback and a preview term. The feedback term is the same as the standard <italic> H</italic><sub>infinity</sub> output feedback control. The resulting preview control algorithms are applied to two automotive applications of a variable valve timing engine. In the first, a preview controller is used to softly seat the valve of the electro-magnetic valve actuator. A model of the valve actuator system is developed. The preview control algorithm is compared with the standard <italic>H</italic><sub>infinity</sub> feedback control. Experimental results show a significant improvement of the preview over the feedback only control. In the second application, a preview controller is used in the torque tracking of the variable valve timing engine output control. A four induction event delay is inserted in the control loop after a driver demand map to efficiently schedule the demanded torque and to allow the use of preview. A control oriented torque delivery model of a 2.0 Liter Zetec engine is derived, and a novel valve optimization approach is developed to the obtain the valve timing for best fuel conversion efficiency and NOx. The optimized valve timing is used to construct a feedforward lookup term that is used in conjunction with the <italic>H</italic><sub>infinity</sub> preview control. Simulations results show improved torque tracking of the <italic> H</italic><sub>infinity</sub> preview/feedback/feedforward control over the standard <italic>H</italic><sub>infinity</sub> feedback/feedforward approach.Subjects
