9. Ali M Aldawood ama44@cam.ac.uk Coupling GT-Power with SRM Intake Compression Power Exhaust GT-Power Stochastic Reactor Model GT-Power Closed-Volume EV O 0 o 180 o 360 o 540 o 720 o Firing TDC IVC GT-Power simulates the open-volume (intake and exhaust) portion of the cycle SRM simulates the closed- volume (compression, combustion and expansion) portion of the cycle Pressure

10. Ali M Aldawood ama44@cam.ac.uk Octane Number & Hydrogen Control A closed-loop controller is integrated in the model. Either octane number or hydrogen ratio is varied to control the combustion phasing.

11. Ali M Aldawood ama44@cam.ac.uk Octane Number & Hydrogen Control A closed-loop controller is integrated in the model. Either octane number or hydrogen ratio is varied to control the combustion phasing.

12. Ali M Aldawood ama44@cam.ac.uk Hydrogen Addition – Load Transients Time (sec)

13. Ali M Aldawood ama44@cam.ac.uk Conclusion  Full-cycle HCCI engine model is integrated with Stochastic Reactor Model and closed-loop control  Integrated model provided effective tool to simulate HCCI transients and investigate combustion control strategies  Results suggest that both octane number and hydrogen addition are effective for HCCI combustion control
