Abstract

HCCI combustion can substantially reduce NOx and soot emissions of diesel engines. However it is hard for diesel HCCI to obtain the same level of fuel economy as traditional diesel engines. This paper presents a way to improve the fuel economy of diesel HCCI by adopting Integrated Starter Generator (ISG). A set of diesel parallel hybrid power system (in this article, we name it “hybrid engine”) is constructed by installing an ISG motor on a diesel engine, which applies HCCI–CI combined combustion. Based on a lot of investigation on diesel HCCI, this paper is focus on improving HCCI engine performance, especially the fuel economy, by adopting ISG motor assist control. The coordination control strategies of engine and ISG motor in HCCI transient states, HCCI–CI transition, engine quick start and braking energy regeneration are developed. The results of equivalent New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) tests show that, by using ISG assistance, the fuel consumption of the diesel HCCI engine is greatly reduced. Meanwhile the NOx and soot emission are also improved.
