    Abstract: A reciprocating engine system includes a cylinder, a piston disposed within the cylinder, a knock sensor disposed proximate to the cylinder and configured to detect vibrations of the cylinder, piston, or both, a crankshaft sensor configured to sense a crank angle of a crankshaft, and a controller communicatively coupled to the knock sensor and the crankshaft sensor. The controller is configured to receive a raw knock signal from the knock sensor and a crank angle signal from the crankshaft sensor corresponding to vibrations of the cylinder, piston, or both relative to the crank angle of the crankshaft, convert the raw knock signal into a digital value signal, and at least one of a crank angle for a start of combustion, a peak firing pressure, a percentage of fuel mass fraction burn, or a combination thereof, based on the digital value signal and the crank angle.

    Abstract: A method of controlling an engine includes injecting a first fuel and a second fuel to each of a donor cylinder group and a non-donor cylinder group of the engine. The method also includes injecting a higher fraction of the first fuel into the donor cylinder group in comparison to the first fuel being injected into the non-donor cylinder group. Further, the method includes injecting a lower fraction of the second fuel into the donor cylinder group in comparison to the second fuel being injected into the non-donor cylinder group. Furthermore, the method includes recirculating an exhaust emission from the donor cylinder group to the non-donor cylinder group and the donor cylinder group and combusting a mixture of air, the first fuel, the second fuel and the exhaust emission from the donor cylinder group in both the donor cylinder group and the non-donor cylinder group.

    Abstract: A method involves controlling a fuel injector to inject a first quantity of a fuel into a cylinder from a plurality of cylinders, of an engine and detecting a first value of a parameter associated with the engine. The method further involves controlling the fuel injector to inject a second quantity of the fuel different from the first quantity of the fuel, into the cylinder of the engine and detecting a second value of the parameter associated with the engine. The method also involves comparing the first value with the second value and detecting a hardware anomaly associated with the engine based on the comparison of the first value with the second value.
