Abstract

This paper describes an application of the block control and sliding mode control techniques to form a stabilising controller for an internal combustion engine with a throttle driven by a DC motor. This combined approach enables the inherent nonlinearities of the engine to be compensated and high level external disturbances to be rejected. Also, the control system utilises a generalised observer for nonlinear plants which incorporates a high gain technique.
