A mean value engine model is used to study optimal control of a diesel-electric powertrain. The resulting optimal controls are shown to be highly oscillating for certain operating points, raising the question whether this is an artifact of discretization, modeling choices or a phenomenon available in real engines. Several model extensions are investigated and their corresponding optimal control trajectories are studied. It is shown that the oscillating controls cannot be explained by the implemented extensions to the previously published model, nor by the discretization, showing that for certain operating points the optimal solution is periodic. |
