ARBITRATION STRATEGY FOR SLOW RESPONSE AND FAST RESPONSE TORQUE REQUESTS

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a system for managing engine output that includes a machine manager module (220) and a combustion module (230). In one embodiment, the combustion module (230) includes a slow response pathway and a fast response pathway. The slow response pathway includes managing air actuators and the fast response pathway includes managing spark timing actuators. According to one embodiment, managing spark timing comprises bringing a spark actuator to the middle of a spark timing range for bi-directional control and involves sacrificing engine efficiency for engine responsiveness. Further, the fast response pathway may be selectively enabled based upon an optimization index.
