본 논문은 카놀라 바이오디젤 혼합연료를 승용디젤엔진에 적용하였을 때 나타나는 연소 및 배기배출물 특성에 관한 연구이다. 본 연구에서는 카놀라 바이오디젤을 20%, 40%를 ULSD 80%, 60%와 체적비로 혼합한 혼합연료를 사용하여 ULSD 결과 데이터와 비교하였다. 엔진 회전속도, 엔진부하, 연료분사압력 변화를 실험변수로 사용하였으며. 카놀라 바이오 디젤의 혼합비가 증가 할수록 NOx 배출량은 증가하였지만, Soot 배출량은 감소하는 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 Soot 배출량은 낮은 연료분사압력에서 높은 배출량을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 승용디젤엔진에서 유해배출물을 저감시키는 동시에 고연비를 달성하기 위하여 2단 터보과급기와 EGR 장치를 장착한 디젤엔진에 대하여 EGR 배열 방식이 EGR율에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 AMESim을 사용하였고 엔진 부품을 위하여 IFP Engine Library를 사용하였다. 고압, 저압, 반저압의 3가지 배열 방식이 고려되었다. 일반적으로 많이 사용되는 고압 방식과 저압 방식의 EGR 배열이 공연비 21에서 각각 6.4%, 10.0%의 EGR율을 보인 반면, 두 방식의 혼합형인 반저압 EGR 배열 방식의 EGR율은 18.0%의 값을 보였다. 따라서 2단 터보과급기와 EGR 장치를 장착한 엔진 설계시 엔진 성능과 유해배출물 발생량의 관점에서 반저압 방식 EGR 시스템이 적절함을 보였다.

이 연구에서는 Quantitative Feedback Theory(QFT) 기법을 이용한 승용디젤엔진의 커먼레일 압력제어 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 커먼레일 압력모델의 입력과 출력은 각각 Pressure Control Valve(PCV) 구동전류와 커먼레일 압력으로 정의하였고, Metering Unit(MeUn)이 커먼레일 압력에 미치는 영향은 모델 파라미터 불확실성으로 정의하였다. QFT 기법은 이러한 모델의 불확실성에 대하여 강건하면서도 정량적 요구사항을 만족할 수 있는 제어알고리즘 설계방법을 제시한다. 제안된 커먼레일 압력제어기는 목표 레일압력 추종성능과 안정성능이 확보되었으며, 인젝터에 의한 연료분사가 커먼레일 압력에 미치는 영향을 줄이기 위하여 외란제거성능(Disturbance Rejection)이 고려되었다. 설계된 제어 알고리즘은 엔진 동력계 실험을 통하여 검증하였으며, MeUn 구동전류와 연료분사량의 급격한 변화에 따른 제어알고리즘의 강건성과 외란제거성능을 검증하였다.

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system is a high-effective NOx reduction technology in diesel engines. As the emission standard of diesel engines is more stringent, vehicle manufactures makes efforts on emission technologies. This paper discusses the performance of Urea-SCR system according to the engine operating conditions in a passenger diesel engine. Engine test results in this paper show that it is important to consider the catalyst temperature and space velocity to obtain high NOx conversion efficiency. In condition of high catalyst temperature, over 90% NOx conversion efficiency is indicated. However, when catalyst temperature is low, NOx conversion efficiency was decreased. Also, it was shown that space velocity mainly effects on the DeNOx performance under 220 degree celsius of SCR catalyst temperature. As the urea injection pressure was decreased, NOx conversion efficiency was declined. It is concerned about urea droplet atomization. This work shown in this paper can lead to improved overall NOx conversion efficiency.

This study presents a model-based gain scheduling strategy for PI-based EGR controllers. The air-to-fuel ratio is used as an indirect measurement of the EGR rate. In order to cope with the nonlinearity and parameter varying characteristics of the EGR system, we proposed a static gain model of the EGR system using a new scheduling parameter. With the 810 steady-state measurements, the static gain model achieved 0.94 of R-squared value. Based on the static gain of the EGR system, the PI gains were robustly designed using quantitative feedback theory. Consequently, the gains of the PI controller are scheduled according to the static gain parameter of the EGR path in runtime. The proposed model-based gain scheduling strategy was validated through various operating conditions of engine experiments such as setpoint step responses and disturbance rejections.

This paper presents a robust air-to-fuel ratio (AFR) control algorithm for managing exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. In order to handle production tolerance, deterioration and parameter-varying characteristics of the EGR system, quantitative feedback theory (QFT) is applied for designing the robust AFR control algorithm. A plant model of EGR system is approximated by the first order transfer function plus time-delay (FOPTD) model. EGR valve position and AFR of exhaust gas are used as input/output variables of the plant model. Through engine experiments, parameter uncertainty of the plant model is identified in a fixed engine operating point. Requirement specifications of robust stability and reference tracking performance are defined and these are fulfilled by the following steps: during loop shaping process, a PID controller is designed by using a nominal loop transmission function represented on Nichols chart. Then, the frequency response of closed-loop transfer function is used for designing a prefilter. It is validated that the proposed QFT-based AFR control algorithm successfully satisfy the requirements through experiments of various engine operating points.

This paper presents a feedforward control algorithm for the EGR and VGT systems of passenger car diesel engines. The air-to-fuel ratio and boost pressure are selected as control indicators and the positions of EGR valve and VGT vane are used as control inputs of the EGR and VGT controller. In order to compensate the non-linearity and coupled dynamics of the EGR and VGT systems, we have proposed a non-linear model-based feedforward control algorithm which is obtained from static model inversion approach. It is observed that the average modeling errors of the feedforward algorithm is about 2% using stationary engine experiment data of 225 operating conditions. Using a feedback controller including proportional-integral, the modeling error is compensated. Furthermore, it is validated that the proposed feedforward algorithm generates physically acceptable trajectories of the actuator and successfully tracks the desired values through engine experiments.

The transient performance of the passenger diesel engine equipped with the variable geometry turbocharger was simulated using HIL(hardware-in-the-loop) system. The system consists of engine model as software, and the turbocharger test bench as hardware. The engine model is mean value model which is programmed by the Simulink of the Mathworks. The turbocharger test bench is composed of a blower, some sensors, and DAQ boards. A real time simulation is possible since the operating system based on the real time is included. The results show the good response for the transient characteristics. Therefore this HIL system can be used for development of the new turbocharger effectively.

This paper proposes a decoupler design method to reduce interaction between exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) systems in passenger car diesel engines. The EGR valve and VGT vane are respectively used to control air-to-fuel ratio (AFR) of exhaust gas and intake pressure. A plant model for EGR and VGT systems is defined by a first order transfer function plus time-delay model, and the loop interaction between these systems is analyzed using a relative normalized gain array (RNGA) method. In order to deal with the loop interaction, a design method for simplified decoupler is applied to this study. Feedback control algorithms for AFR and intake pressure are composed of a compensator using PID control method and a prefilter. The proposed decoupler is evaluated through engine experiment, and the results successfully showed that the loop interaction between EGR and VGT systems can be reduced by using the proposed decoupler. Furthermore, it presents stable performance even off from the designed operating point.
