Abstract

In this paper, an analysis of knock signals suggests that the knock intensity is a cyclically uncorrelated random process, and that it is therefore not possible to control individual cycles to a specified knock intensity in a deterministic manner. A new knock control algorithm is therefore developed on the basis of a stochastic interpretation of the knock signal, and on the basis of a control objective specified as a certain percentage of knocking cycles. Unlike traditional controllers, the new algorithm does not respond to knock events provided that these are occurring within a specified tolerance of the target knock rate. The new controller uses the cumulative summation of knock events to make this determination, thereby avoiding the slow transient response times sometimes associated with ‘stochastic’ knock controllers. When a spark adjustment is deemed necessary, the magnitude of the control action is scaled according to the likelihood ratio of the observed events since the last spark adjustment was made. A theoretical analysis of the new controller is presented and a simulation tool which is closely based on experimental data is used to assess its performance. The results show that the new controller is able to achieve the same target knock rate as a traditional controller while operating at a more advanced mean spark angle. There is also less cyclic variance about this mean and the regulatory response is significantly improved. The transient response to overly advanced or retarded conditions is similar to the traditional controller. These results suggest that the new controller will deliver increased torque and engine efficiency under knock-limited conditions without increasing the risk of engine damage.
