Generalized predictive control of a turbocharged diesel engine

A controller for a turbocharged diesel engine is designed by feedback linearization and constrained generalized predictive control (GPC). The complete diesel engine-turbocharger model is posed in such a way that GPC is applicable to control engine speed, air-fuel ratio (AFR) and exhaust gas recirculated fraction (EGR). The designed controller is simulated over a driving cycle obtaining good tracking performance.
