DESCRIPTION

The modern combustion engine appears to be a very complex system. The complexity growth may be driven namely by governmental legislation that restricts combustion engine emissions. Therefore, the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) may be forced to add various equipment items, sensors and actuators to the engine to achieve the prescribed limits and to optimize engine operating costs, e.g., fuel economy, urea consumption, and so forth. Under these conditions, an engine operation optimization and design of an optimal control system may be a challenging task.


Some approaches may incorporate optimizing the engine and individual aftertreatment systems involving, e.g., selective catalytic reduction (SCR), diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC), diesel particulate filter (DPF), and so on, separately. These approaches do not necessarily provide a systematic way of optimization. They may involve time consuming and expensive tasks. Furthermore, it is not necessarily ensured that their results will be optimal. There might be a better solution.


Another approach may be to optimize the engine together with the aftertreatment subsystem (AFS) as a one system. Such an approach may enable one to find the global optimal behavior of the engine with an aftertreatment subsystem from an economical and technical point of view while satisfying virtually all of the prescribed emission limits. The engine and aftertreatment subsystem may have appropriate sensors and actuators as needed to effect an optimization program for the engine and aftertreatment subsystem or subsystems as one system. The engine may be seen as an exhaust gas source for the aftertreatment subsystem. The properties of the engine out exhaust gas as sensed may be influenced within certain range by manipulating available engine actuators such as those of a turbocharger waste gate (WG), variable geometry turbocharger (VGT), exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), start of injection (SOI), throttling valve (TV), and so on. Various degrees of freedom may be used to prepare or modify the exhaust gas properties for optimal operation of the aftertreatment subsystem at virtually all of the engine operating points. For example, if the actual state of the aftertreatment subsystem does not enable a reduction of emissions due to low temperature as sensed in some operating regimes, then the engine actuators may be controlled to increase temperature so that the engine exhaust gas out emissions do not violate prescribed limits. On the other hand, if the state of the aftertreatment subsystem enables a reduction of a significant amount of pollutants, the engine actuators may be controlled in a way to also achieve the best fuel economy.


An engine optimization and control design may be formulated as a rigorous mathematical optimization problem. The present approach may offer a modular and systematic solution to the problem. The approach may incorporate dividing the engine and aftertreatment optimization and control design into two stages: (i) an off-line part and (ii) an on-line part (real-time).


(i) The off-line part may be formulated as a mathematical optimization problem with constraints (known as mathematical programming) and the results may be various engine maps prescribing setpoints and constraints for different kinds of measured variables from sensors and positions of virtually all engine actuators for virtually all major operating points or conditions of the engine, e.g., over the engine speed and torque map. Virtually all of the maps may be parameterized by various variables of the engine and aftertreatment system but may be also parameterized by measured fuel and/or urea consumption and corresponding costs, by their ratio, or other relevant economically related quantities. Information about actual market prices of fuel and other fluids used by the engine and aftertreatment system may be incorporated to parameterize the control system and may be used as a tuning parameter during the engine's lifetime. This approach may enable a slight tuning of the controller behavior when the prices of the fluids used are changed, which can ensure economically optimal operation of the engine in view of such changes during its lifetime.


(ii) The on-line part may consist of one or more feedback single or multivariable real-time controllers. These controllers may be implemented, for example, as model based predictive controllers (MPCs). The feedback controllers may ensure realization of virtually all of the setpoints, but also satisfaction of virtually all of the constraints computed in the off-line part. The feedback controllers may also ensure disturbance rejection, a minimization of an impact of engine components production variability, and aging of the engine. Furthermore, the feedback controllers may also be designed to deliver needed performance during an engine transient operation.



FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a basic scheme of the present system for integrated optimization and control of an engine with one or more aftertreatment systems. The various blocks represent an engine 11, and several aftertreatment systems (AFSs) 12 and 13. Aftertreatment system 13 may be the last system and be denoted by an “N”. “N” may also indicate the total number of aftertreatment systems. An aftertreatment system 12 between engine 11 and aftertreatment system N may be denoted by an “i”. There may be any number of aftertreatment systems.

However, there may be one or more AFSs connected between engine 11 and AFSi 12. “yi” may represent an interconnection output 21 from AFSi 12 which may be an interconnection input “yN−122 to AFSN 13, assuming that AFSN 13 is connected to AFSi 12. However, there may be one or more AFSs connected between AFSi 12 and AFSN 13. “yN” may represent an output 23 of the AFSN 13 and the preceding AFSs from “1” through “N−1”.


“Ji(xi,vi,ui,yi−1)” on an output 28 may represent a subsystem cost function of xi, vi, ui and/or yi−1 for AFSi 12. “Ji(.)” may be an abbreviated designation of the subsystem cost function. “g(xi,vi,ui,yi−1)≤0” also on output 28 may represent subsystem constraints of xi, vi, ui and/or yi−1 for AFSi 12. “g(.)” may be an abbreviated designation of the subsystem constraints. “JN(xN,vN,uN,yN−1” on an output 29 may represent subsystem cost function of xN, vN, uN and/or yN−1 for AFSN 13. “g(xN,vN,uN,yN−1)≤0” also on output 29 may represent subsystem constraints of xN, vN, uN and/or yN−1 for AFSN 13. The similar designations may be made for additional AFSs, if any, between engine 11 and AFSi 12 and between AFSi 12 and AFSN 13, as done herein with the xs, vs, us and ys.

An objective may be to compute optimal steady-state engine maps for virtually all of the operating points, for example, in an engine speed-torque space as shown with a graph 31 of engine torque (nm) versus engine speed (rpm). Graph 31 illustrates an example k-th operating point 32 plotted at a specific torque and engine speed. The k-th operating point may represent any point at various locations on graph 31.

Optimal operation may incorporate reduction of emissions and improvement of fluid efficiency of the combined engine and aftertreatment system.


To change the properties of the exhaust may incorporate reducing an amount of pollutants in the exhaust to a magnitude equal to or less than a prescribed magnitude. Manipulating the actuators of the engine may increase fuel economy of the engine if the one or more aftertreatment subsystems reduce an amount of pollutants in the exhaust to a magnitude equal to or less than the prescribed magnitude.


The approach may further incorporate providing one or more engine maps as a basis for optimal operation of the combined engine and aftertreatment system, processing the one or more engine maps prescribing setpoints and/or constraints for measured variables and positions of the actuators on the engine for operating points and/or conditions of the engine, and parameterizing the engine maps by variables of the engine and of the one or more aftertreatment subsystems.
