Artificial output reference for model predictive control
First Claim
1. A control system, comprising:
- a control module thatreceives a first request corresponding to a control value for at least one of a plurality of actuators,selectively receives a second request associated with a predicted future control value for at least one of the plurality of actuators,if the second request was not received, determines a target value for the actuator based on the first request, andif the second request was received, generates a reference signal representing the second request, wherein the reference signal indicates at least one of a predicted increase in the control value and a predicted decrease in the control value; and
a model predictive control module that receives the reference signal and adjusts one of the plurality of actuators associated with the predicted future control value based on the reference signal.

Abstract
A control system includes a control module that receives a first request corresponding to a control value for at least one of a plurality of actuators, selectively receives a second request associated with a predicted future control value for at least one of the plurality of actuators, determines a target value for the actuator based on the first request if the second request was not received, and generates a reference signal representing the second request if the second request was received. The reference signal indicates at least one of a predicted increase in the control value and a predicted decrease in the control value. A model predictive control module receives the reference signal and adjusts one of the plurality of actuators associated with the predicted future control value based on the reference signal.

6. An engine control system for a vehicle, the engine control system comprising:
-
a torque requesting module that receives at least one torque request and selectively receives a predicted torque reserve request, if the predicted torque reserve request was not received, determines an air torque request based on the at least one torque request, and if the predicted torque reserve request was received, generates a torque reference signal indicating the predicted torque reserve request, wherein the torque reference signal indicates at least one of a predicted torque request increase and a predicted torque request decrease; and a model predictive control module that receives the torque reference signal and adjusts a torque reserve based on the torque reference signal. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
