Abstract: This paper deals with the non-linear modelling and control of a turbocharged spark ignition engine. In the automotive industry, downsizing-based turbocharging is considered as a powerful technique to improve engine performances as fuel economy, pumping loss reduction to increase engine efficiency or driveability optimisation. This method is largely used for diesel engines. For gasoline engines, it is more complex in terms of control. In this work, a simplified control-oriented model is presented and validated using a Smart MCC three cylinders engine data. Then, based on this model, a fuzzy non-linear control law is calculated to achieve the fuel consumption and pumping losses reduction by setting the engine states to a given profile.
