Abstract
A fuel transfer model of a fuel supply system is used to set and control the fuel pump of a return less fuel injection system. The model simulates characteristics of the fuel pump, fuel pressure transfer delay of fuel supply conduits and fuel pressure variation characteristics such as caused by expansion and compression of the fuel supply conduit volume due to an elastic coefficient and the like. The fuel pump model simulates a torque applied to the fuel pump motor, inertia, and the relationships between pump rotational speed, fuel pressure and fuel pump discharge amounts. A compensation control arithmetic calculation model may be derived from inverse calculation based on this fuel transfer model. The compensating current obtained from such an arithmetic model provides compensation for control of the fuel pump by adding a first value obtained by waveform shaping (through a first differentiation of the fuel injection amount) and a second value obtained by waveform shaping (through a second differentiation of the fuel injection amount).
