    Abstract: Engine control apparatus includes: engine including injector configured to inject fuel into combustion chamber and ignition plug configured to ignite air-fuel mixture of fuel and air in combustion chamber; temperature sensor configured to detect temperature of engine; and controller configured to control injector based on temperature detected by temperature sensor. Fuel injected by injector is at least one of gasoline fuel and reformed fuel obtained by reforming part of gasoline fuel into peroxide. Controller controls injector so as to inject gasoline fuel at first target injection timing when temperature detected by temperature sensor exceeds predetermined temperature at starting of engine, and controls injector so as to inject reformed fuel at second target injection timing retarded from first target injection timing when temperature detected by temperature sensor is equal to or lower than predetermined temperature.

    Abstract: Biomass gasification apparatus includes: gasification reaction furnace; upper supply unit configured to supply woody biomass and inert gas from above through feeding hole to furnace; lower supply unit configured to supply mixed gas containing inert gas from below to furnace; sensor configured to detect clogged state in which biomass is clogged in hole; and controller configured to control supply units to regulate upper supply flow rate of inert gas supplied by upper supply unit and lower supply flow rate of inert gas supplied by lower supply unit based on detection result by sensor. When clogged state is detected, controller increases upper supply flow rate to be higher than first flow rate and decreases lower supply flow rate to be lower than second flow rate so that sum of upper supply flow rate and lower supply flow rate is maintained at predetermined flow rate.

    Abstract: Engine-control-apparatus includes: engine including injector injecting fuel into combustion-chamber and ignition-plug igniting air-fuel-mixture in combustion-chamber; and controller controlling injector/ignition-plug to switch combustion-mode based on required-torque of engine. Combustion-mode includes: SI-combustion of gasoline-fuel with ignition; first-HCCI-combustion of reformed-fuel without ignition, reformed-fuel being obtained by reforming portion of gasoline-fuel into peroxide; second-HCCI-combustion of reformed-fuel with ignition; and diffusion-combustion of reformed-fuel without ignition. Controller controls injector/ignition-plug to switch combustion-mode: to second-HCCI-combustion when required-torque is less than first-predetermined-value; to first-HCCI-combustion when required-torque is first-predetermined-value or more and less than second-predetermined-value larger than first-predetermined-value; to SI-combustion when required-torque is second-predetermined-value or more and less than third-predetermined-value larger than second-predetermined-value; and to diffusion-combustion when required-torque is third-predetermined-value or more.
