Analyzing a Novel Method of Power Control for Internal Combustion Engines — •Andreas Fischer and Karl Heinz Hoffmann — Institut für Physik -- Technische Universität Chemnitz -- 09107 Chemnitz -- Germany

Vehicles are mainly powered by combustion engines. Thus, improving these engines efficiency reduces both their operational cost as well as the emission of greenhouse gases and other pollutants. Within this work a novel approach to control the engine power is analyzed, utilizing a feature rich 1-D engine simulation. It is found that this method promises an efficiency gain of up to 2 percentage points compared to the common power control method while running the otherwise identical engine to drive a medium load (relative to its capability).
