  • Publication number: 20160341170
    Abstract: An ignition apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes a non-equilibrium plasma discharge device, an arc discharge device, a combustion stability determination device, and a control device. The non-equilibrium plasma discharge device discharges at a non-equilibrium plasma discharge timing. The arc discharge device discharges at an arc discharge timing. The combustion stability determination device determines whether a combustion stability is lower than a threshold combustion stability. The a control device controls the non-equilibrium plasma discharge timing and the arc discharge timing to retard the arc discharge timing from the non-equilibrium plasma discharge timing by a retard angle. The a control device increases the retard angle in a case where the combustion stability determination device determines the combustion stability is lower than the threshold combustion stability.
