الوصف: Cylinder pressure-based control is a key enabler for advanced pre-mixed combustion concepts. Besides guaranteeing robust and safe operation, it allows for cylinder pressure and heat release shaping. This requires fast control-oriented combustion models. Over the years, mean-value models have been proposed that can predict combustion measures (e.g., Gross Indicated Mean Effective Pressure, or the crank angle where 50% of the total heat is released) or models that predict the full in-cylinder pressure. However, these models are not able to capture cyclic variations. This is important in the control design for combustion concepts, like Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition, that can suffer from large cyclic variations. In this study, the in-cylinder pressure and cyclic variation are modelled using a data-based approach. The model combines Principle Component Decomposition and Gaussian Process Regression. A detailed study is performed on the effects of the different hyperparameters and kernel choices. The approach is applicable to any combustion concept, but most valuable for advance combustion concepts with large cyclic variation. The potential of the proposed approach is demonstrated for an Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition engine running on Diesel and E85. The prediction quality of the evaluated combustion measures has an overall accuracy of 13.5% and 65.5% in mean behaviour and standard deviation, respectively. The peak-pressure rise-rate is traditionally hard to predict, in the proposed model it has an accuracy of 22.7% and 96.4% in mean behaviour and standard deviation, respectively. This Principle Component Decomposition-based approach is an important step towards in-cylinder pressure shaping. The use of Gaussian Process Regression provides important information on cyclic variation and provides next-cycle controls information on safety and performance criteria.
