• •The control of premixed and late combustion is crucial for marine diesel engine.•An effective procedure is proposed for detecting SOC, SODC and SOLC.•Instantaneous energy concept and peak detection are utilized in this procedure.•This procedure is validated by two different types of marine diesel engines. In order to improve the energy efficiency and suppress the environmental pollutants of marine diesel engines, analysis and control of combustion phases including late combustion phase and premixed combustion phase are considered as an attractive potential strategy. Consequently, it is necessary to accurately identify the combustion parameters that are representative to these combustion phases, such as start of combustion (SOC), start of diffusive combustion (SODC) and start of late combustion (SOLC). The real-time analysis of the combustion phases can be further applied for closed-loop combustion control (CLCC). However, the existing methods can’t guarantee the accurate detection of combustion parameters simultaneously even though high computational resources are invested. In this study, the resonance excitation of in-cylinder pressure was found to be capable for identifying all of the three combustion phases parameters. Hence, several effective signal processing techniques were proposed to detect these combustion phases parameters from resonant pressure signal. Without complex mathematic algorithms, the proposed method shows high potential for CLCC since it is relatively easier and faster to achieve than other existing techniques. The accuracy of this method was validated by experimental heat release rate and in-cylinder temperature. Furthermore, based on combustion phase parameters obtained, the estimations of combustion state and energy efficiency were discussed. Finally, this method was also applied for combustion phase detection in another type of marine diesel engine, which verified the robustness of this method.
