Systems and methods for transient control of a free-piston engine

摘要: A free-piston (“FP”) engine is a type of internal combustion with no crankshaft, so that its piston trajectory longer constrained by the mechanical linkage. FP engines have high potential in terms energy saving given their simple structure, modularity and efficiency, among other attributes. One technical barriers affect technology lack precise control. For example, presence transient period after single event can prevent from continuous firing. The present subject matter provides control scheme utilize reference signal shifting technique to modify tracking error reduce period.
