The learning feedforward term predicts ac components

At idle the engine controller regulates the engine torque

4. Simulation results
We apply the learning control scheme designed in Section 3 to crankshaft speed oscillation damping at engine idle.
The following values of system parameters are used
where the engine torque dc component is selected to balance system damping at idle
.
The system simulation was performed in the Matlab/Simulink environment with learning control block being
incorporated as a language S-Function.
The simulation model includes a discrete position sensor with =75 counts per revolution, an engine torque generator, a speed feedback controller with dynamic compensation. The learning control block represents a discrete model
of dimension with each element of the state vector representing learning control for the xed position of the engine
crankshaft.
Crankshaft speed oscillations for pure feedback control
with feedback gain
and for learning control with
training factor
are given in Figure 2. The speed
oscillations amplitude stays constant in the range -1.4/+.7
for speed feedback control while with learning control it approaches zero after 4 rotations. The multiple harmonics in the engine torque result in more complex behavior
of speed pulsations in the case of learning control. We used
assumption that crankshaft speed is around idle speed which
gives initial condition for simulation
.
Engine torque (17) (solid line) and learning feedforward
torque (dashed line) are given in Figure 3. The learning term
converges to the engine torque ac components after 4 rotations. The rst rotation is used to examine the system dynamic behavior.
To investigate robustness of learning control strategy
with respect to system parameter variations we performed
simulation experiments with 50 less system inertia and
damping. The ywheel inertia is a critical parameter for
speed pulsation reduction in passive ywheel systems. Simulations showed that that learning strategy copes well with
inertia and damping reduction.
