A novel active disturbance rejection controller for an electromagnetic valve actuator

Abstract

In order to achieve fully variable and precise motion control of the electromagnetic valve actuator, enhance the engine performance, a novel active disturbance rejection controller for an electromagnetic valve actuator based on trajectory planning and acceleration feedforward is proposed. A fourth-order trajectory planning is used to achieve fully variable valve motion control, including variable valve lift and timing. It can also reduce the impact and vibration of EMVA system. Active disturbance rejection controller is used to estimate the variant dynamic and external disturbances of the system. The acceleration feedforward is compensated for the system to improve the tracking and steady state accuracy. Comparative simulations results show the proposed controller can improve the dynamic performance and the robustness of the system, and enhance the control precision.
