摘要： A method and control system that directly determines combustion quality by measuring an ionization signal of each combustion event during initial engine operation is shown. The determined combustion quality is used to optimize engine performance for emissions and driveability by compensating various engine control parameters during initial engine operation, including starting. Compensation of engine control parameters may include changes to fuel delivery, spark ignition timing, and engine load. Any compensation of the engine control acts to ensure that a sufficient quantity of vaporized fuel is delivered to the engine to effectively start and operate the engine at the load level demanded by the engine, engine loads, and the operator.

摘要： A method and apparatus for real-time measurement of combustion characteristics of each combustion event in each individual cylinder coupled with an ability to control the engine based upon the combustion characteristics are shown. The invention includes using selective sampling techniques and wavelet transforms to extract a critical signal feature from an ionization signal that is generated by an in-cylinder ion sensor, and then feeds that critical signal feature into an artificial neural network to determine a desired combustion characteristic of the combustion event. The desired combustion characteristic of the combustion event includes a location of peak pressure, an air/fuel ratio, or a percentage of mass-fraction burned, among others. The control system of the engine is then operable to control the engine based upon the combustion characteristic.
