Model Based EGR Control
(2017)
Almost stationary control of the correct EGR rate (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) is state of the art. More aggressive emission tests such as WLTP and RDE require a dynamic control of the EGR rate, otherwise a too low EGR rate results in increased NOx emissions, a too high EGR rate in particulate emissions. The difficulty in any EGR control is the missing plant knowledge; the EGR rate is controlled although the present EGR rate is not exactly known. EGR flow sensors are available, but due to additional costs they have not found a broad acceptance. A different approach for high pressure EGR investigated in this paper is a control using a second lambda sensor between EGR and inlet valves. This approach improves the dynamic response, but it might come with costs similar to an EGR flow sensor. Alternatively a model based approach can be used which shows high potential.
