Description

Control method for improving economy of whole vehicle based on urea and fuel price change
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of automobile engines, in particular to a control method for improving the economy of a whole automobile based on urea and fuel price change.
Background
To meet the national sixth emission standard, there are two routes: firstly, an EGR route is generally adopted, namely an EGR+VGT (supercharging route such as WGT) technical scheme is adopted, namely DOC+DPF+SCR+ASC technical scheme is adopted, wherein the EGR can play a role in reducing the emission of original NOx, and in addition, the superfluous NOx is treated by the SCR; the other is an SCR route, which usually adopts a technical scheme of WGT (supercharger route such as VGT) +DOC+DPF+SCR+ASC, and achieves the engineering goal of the original engine through matching of a combustion system and calibration optimization of a fuel injection system, the discharged NOx is treated to a reasonable level through SCR, and for the other key emission particles of the diesel engine, the two routes are both captured by the DPF, so that the emission requirement of PM is met.
When SCR is applied, the urea injection system can judge according to the operation working condition of the engine and the working state of the aftertreatment system, and urea injection is carried out when the condition of urea injection is met, which clearly causes two operation costs for the engine during operation: fuel consumption and urea consumption. In addition, the prices of the fuel and the urea are continuously changed, particularly the fluctuation range of the price of the diesel is large, the previous control strategy fails to consider the dynamic change process of the prices of the urea and the diesel, mainly considers the target NOx for control, cannot adjust the urea injection according to the prices of the urea and the fuel, cannot control the target NOx according to the change of the prices of the urea and the diesel, and has great discount on comprehensive economy.
The current engine control strategy is a fixed control mode, and is not adjusted according to the market price change of diesel and urea, data modeling analysis is performed through automatic calibration software in the calibration process, and the BSNOx is used as a boundary condition to perform global optimization of optimal economy, such as a conventional BSFC and BSNOx tradoff curve, and the optimization is performed by referring to the BSNOx-MIN_ref, the BSNOx-MAX_ref and the BSNOx-target_ref in such a way: BSNOx-MIN_ref represents the minimum boundary of BSNOx, when the boundary is reached, the problems of insufficient engine combustion economy, even higher smoke degree and the like can occur, BSNOx-MAX_ref represents the allowable upper limit of NOx bare engine emission, and the limitation is generally carried out by the hardware boundaries such as the size of an SCR carrier and the maximum injection quantity of a urea injection system; while BSNOx-target_ref represents the desired Target in meeting the economic and emission requirements, the optimization process is moved closer to the desired Target without touching the boundary, in practice global optimization is performed.
The Chinese patent (publication No. 2012, 08 and 01, publication No. CN 102619601A) discloses a control method of an SCR system of an electric control diesel engine, which takes a two-dimensional grid of rotation speed and torque, a two-dimensional grid of exhaust temperature and airspeed as a base point, and corresponds to the original NOx emission and NOx conversion efficiency to obtain the urea injection under a steady-state working condition; on the basis of the SCR steady-state control strategy, the urea injection quantity in the steady-state working condition is corrected by utilizing a correction model formed by an ammonia gas quantity storage function and an NH3 adsorption and desorption function, so that the control strategy of the SCR in the transient working condition is obtained. The method is applicable to almost all diesel engines on the basis of a model, and the subsequent work of manufacturers only carries out corresponding calibration tests for different models, so that the cost is reduced, the research and development period is shortened, and the research and development efficiency of an SCR system and a diesel engine complete machine factory is greatly improved. The invention also discloses an electronic control diesel SCR system adopting the control method. However, the method only relates to SCR system control, and does not relate to the influence of urea and fuel prices on the overall vehicle economy.
Chinese patent (publication No. CN107191251A, publication No. 2017, 09, 02) discloses a diesel engine aftertreatment system meeting the national six-emission requirement, comprising a low-temperature SCR urea aftertreatment system and a low Wen Penyou combustion-supporting catalytic regeneration DPF system; the DPF catalyst and the SCR catalyst are connected in series between the exhaust pipes by adopting flanges. The invention adopts the low-temperature burner, DOC, CDPF and SCR system to reach the national six-emission standard on the basis of the national five-diesel engine technology, does not need to carry out a large number of diesel engine in-machine heat management calibration, has independent post-treatment heat management calibration, reduces the in-machine and out-machine coupling calibration, has simple system installation and arrangement and convenient maintenance, and is suitable for the national six-post-treatment requirements of various domestic diesel engines. The method also does not relate to the effect of urea and fuel prices on overall vehicle economy.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the control method for improving the economy of the whole vehicle based on the price change of urea and fuel oil, which is designed by the invention, evaluates the comprehensive economy of urea required by SCR in a BSFC_r according to a price conversion mode:
BSFC_r=BSFC+qBSNOx

the amount of the substance being NO2 was 46g/mol ρ/u D Is fuel density of 0.83g/mL, ρ/u CO(NH)2 Is CO (NH) 2 Omega is the mass fraction of urea solution, tau is the mole ratio of urea to NOx reaction, and is 2, the current fuel price and urea price are input, the system evaluates the comprehensive BSFC according to the torque model, FIE model and NOx emission model of the engine, and then carries out corresponding MAP selection with different zone bits, and the zone bits and MAP are calibrated and solidified in a global DOE mode in the development stage.
Preferably, for the engine of the SCR technology route, after obtaining the current fuel price and urea price, the engine control module processes inside the controller according to r, and selects the corresponding MAP through the flag bit of fuel injection.
Preferably, when the price of the fuel oil is increased or the price of the urea is reduced to reduce r, the fuel-saving multi-consumption urea mode is entered, and the main injection timing or rail pressure is increased to ensure the BSFC level under the condition that the boundary condition of the SCR system is met.
Preferably, when the fuel price is reduced or the urea price is increased to cause r to be increased, the multi-consumption fuel and low-consumption urea mode is entered, and the main injection timing or rail pressure is reduced to ensure the BSFC level under the condition that the boundary condition of the SCR system is met.
Preferably, the original engine NOx emission changes along with the change of the fuel injection parameters, the urea injection quantity is correspondingly adjusted, and when the comprehensive economy is ensured through high NOx emission, the urea injection quantity is increased, and otherwise, the urea injection quantity is reduced.
Preferably, for an engine of the EGR technology route, after obtaining the current fuel price and urea price, the engine control module processes inside the controller according to r, and selects the corresponding MAP through the flag bit of fuel injection and the flag bit of EGR rate.
Preferably, when the fuel price increases or the urea price decreases to cause r to decrease, a high NOx emission scene is entered, and under the condition that the SCR system boundary and the minimum EGR rate boundary condition are met, the main injection timing or the rail pressure direction is increased, the EGR rate is reduced, and the BSFC level is ensured.
Preferably, when the fuel price is reduced or the urea price is increased to cause r to be increased, the low NOx emission scene is entered, the main injection timing or the rail pressure direction is reduced and the EGR rate is increased under the condition that the boundary of the SCR system and the boundary condition of the minimum EGR rate are met, and the BSFC level is ensured.
Preferably, the original engine NOx emission changes along with the change of the fuel injection parameters and the EGR rate, the urea injection quantity is correspondingly adjusted, and when the comprehensive economy is ensured through high NOx emission, the urea injection quantity is increased, and otherwise, the urea injection quantity is reduced.
Preferably, the basic calibration of the r value is obtained through a DOE mode, r is used as a guiding key factor to judge, if the latest urea and fuel price ratio is input and still is in the current interval, updating is not needed, otherwise, when a crossing area occurs, data updating is prompted, or whether updating is selected according to the preference of a driver.
In the invention, the basic reaction and calculation principle is as follows:
the NOx source results from the high temperature, oxygen-rich environment of the engine combustion process, and its system emissions depend on the original emissions and SCR reactions, both of which can affect the urea consumption level. For original engine emission, mainly depends on the hardware system of the engine, fuel injection parameters and the use level of EGR rate, which are related to engine combustion control, and other NOx which cannot meet the regulation requirement is consumed by SCR, and the chemical reaction is the SCR process. The whole process of eliminating NOx is mainly divided into two parts of urea hydrolysis reaction and NOx reduction reaction, and finally nitrogen and water are generated, wherein the reaction formula is as follows:
hydrolysis reaction:
(NH2) 2 CO→NH 3 +HNCO
HNCO+H 2 O→NH+CO
standard reaction:
4NH3+4NO+O2→4N2+6H2O
the rapid reaction:
4NH3+2NO+2NO2→4N2+6H2O
to more reasonably balance fuel consumption, urea consumption, and emissions levels, we therefore rate the urea required by the SCR in bsfc_r in a cost-effective manner for comprehensive economy.

As shown in fig. 4, for an engine of an EGR technology route, after obtaining a current fuel price and urea price, an engine control module processes inside a controller according to r, and selects a corresponding MAP through a flag bit of fuel injection and an EGR rate flag bit.
When the fuel price is increased or the urea price is reduced to reduce r, the fuel enters a high NOx emission scene, and under the condition that the boundary condition of the SCR system and the boundary condition of the minimum EGR rate are met, the main injection timing or the rail pressure direction is increased, the EGR rate is reduced, and the BSFC level is ensured.
