Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve position control system requires fast response without overshoot, but the low control frequency limits control bandwidth and results in poor position response. A novel EGR valve position control scheme is proposed to improve the position response at low control frequency. This is based on the feedforward controller, but the feedforward control loop is implemented without the position pattern generator or derivative. The proposed method estimates the acceleration command through the relationship between the position controller output, the speed command and the speed limiter, and compensates the cascaded proportional-proportional integral (P-PI) controller. In this method, many operations are not required and noise due to derivative is not generated. This method can improve the position response without much computation and derivative noise at the low control frequency. Experimental results are presented to verify the feasibility of the proposed position control algorithm.
