Controle adaptativo aplicado ao acionamento de um acelerador eletrônico automotivo

Abstract

Currently, there is great concern about the emission of pollutants from the use of energy resources. The transportation sector is the sector that consumed the most energy in Brazil in 2019 and consequently was responsible for the most CO2 emissions. For this reason, there is a great demand for tests on internal combustion engines, both in computational models and in test bed cells. At UFSM, there is the Grupo de Pesquisa em Motores, Combustíveis e Emissões (GPMOT), which has a test cell with an engine test bed. This internal combustion engine has a manual load control that is done by a lever. Therefore, we propose to develop a control system for the electronic throttle to automate the tests performed in the cell. For this purpose, we intend to develop an electronic device that controls the valve position, mathematically model the system to be controlled, and develop an adaptive control technique to be implemented in the electronic controller.
