  • Abstract
    A self-tuning PID controller designed to control a small to medium-sized diesel engine model is discussed. This controller resembles a parameter adaptive controller while it is in the tuning phase. When it is not tuning it functions like a closed-loop PID controller. The model used to represent the diesel engine contains nonlinearities and widely ranging parameters. Computer simulations were used to verify that the tuned system´s phase and gain margins meet design requirements.<>
