The level of boost pressure has a significant effect on optimizing the steady-state and transient performance of turbocharged diesel engines. However the problem of matching the wide speed range diesel engine and the high pressure turbocharging system has to be resolved. The regulated two-stage (RTS) system is an effective method to improve the fuel economy, transient response and smoke emissions. Compared with the difficult matching problem of the RTS system, the problem of boost pressure control is more complex due to the frequently changing operating conditions. To overcome the limitations of an open-loop control strategy, a closed-loop boost pressure control strategy was studied numerically using a mean value model of a diesel engine with RTS system. The system identification was conducted for the transient response from the turbine bypass opening command to the boost pressure.
