Abstract
To accurately evaluate combustion stability in consideration of the effect of the trend even at the time of the transient operation. The present invention is configured to have a combustion energy calculation unit that calculates a combustion energy W_t of one combustion cycle in an internal combustion engine, a trend calculation unit that calculates a trend Tr of change in the combustion energy W_t calculated by the combustion energy calculation unit in a plurality of the combustion cycles, and a combustion stability judgment unit that judges combustion stability based on the combustion energy W_t in the plurality of combustion cycles and the trend Tr of change calculated by the trend calculation unit.
