Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to regenerating a particulate filter assembly of a generator set, and more particularly to electrically regenerating the particulate filter assembly using excess electrical energy produced by a generator of the generator set.
- Generator sets are available in a wide range of power ratings and are commonly used in a variety of environments, including hospitals and other industries that rely upon a steady source of power, and environments where commercially generated electricity is not available.
- Generator sets typically consist of an internal combustion engine coupled with an electrical generator for generating electrical power and, as such, produce various particulates and emissions.
- Governmental regulations that initially applied to exhaust emissions of on-highway and off-highway machines are now extending to stationary applications, such as generator sets.
- Exhaust aftertreatment systems used in on-highway and off-highway machines typically include a particulate filter.
- Particulate filters such as diesel particulate filters, generally consist of a ceramic honeycomb structure that is surrounded by a non-permeable skin layer and include numerous channels that are blocked at alternate ends. This structure forces exhaust gas to flow through the porous walls between the channels, leaving particulate matter deposited on the walls. Periodically, or once a substantial amount of particulate matter is collected within the particulate filter, it must be regenerated to prevent excess blockage. The process of oxidizing or burning off the accumulated particulate matter from the filter is referred to generally as regeneration.
- the present disclosure is directed to one or more of the problems set forth above.
- a method of operating a generator set includes steps of operating an internal combustion engine of the generator set and driving an electrical generator of the generator set with the internal combustion engine.
- the method also includes a step of determining if an excess amount of electrical power is sufficient to regenerate a particulate filter assembly positioned downstream of the internal combustion engine.
- the excess electrical power includes a difference between electrical power produced by the electrical generator and electrical power requested by a load requestor.
- the particulate filter assembly is regenerated, if it is determined that the excess electrical power is sufficient for regeneration, by energizing at least one electrical heating element using the excess electrical energy.
- the regeneration is delayed if a predetermined criteria is satisfied, such as the excess electrical power is insufficient for regeneration.
- a generator set in another aspect, includes an internal combustion engine and a particulate filter assembly positioned downstream of the internal combustion engine.
- the particulate filter assembly includes at least one electrical heating element.
- An electrical generator is driven by the internal combustion engine and produces electrical power exceeding an amount requested by a load requestor.
- An electronic controller is configured to determine if the excess amount of electrical power is sufficient to regenerate the particulate filter assembly.
- the electronic controller is further configured to initiate regeneration of the particulate filter assembly, if it is determined that the excess electrical power is sufficient for regeneration, by causing the excess electrical power to energize the at least one electrical heating element.
- the electronic controller is further configured to delay regeneration if a predetermined criteria is satisfied, such as the excess electrical power is insufficient for regeneration.
- a computer usable medium having computer readable program code thereon for operating a generator set includes computer readable program code for determining a regeneration timing for a particulate filter assembly positioned downstream of an internal combustion engine.
- the computer usable medium also includes computer readable program code for determining if an excess amount of electrical power is sufficient to regenerate the particulate filter assembly.
- the excess electrical power includes a difference between electrical power produced by an electrical generator and electrical power requested by a load requestor.

- An electronic controller 26 (hereinafter referred to as the "main controller") is also provided for controlling and monitoring operation of the generator set 10 and various components of the generator set 10, including the internal combustion engine 12 and electrical generator 14.
- the main controller 26 may be of standard design and includes a processor 28, such as, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), a memory 30, and an input/output circuit that facilitates communication internal and external to the main controller 26.
- the processor 28 controls operation of the main controller 26 by executing operating instructions, such as, for example, computer readable program code stored in memory, wherein operations may be initiated internally or externally to the main controller 26.
- a control scheme may be utilized that monitors outputs of systems or devices, such as, for example, sensors, actuators, or control units, via the input/output circuit to control inputs to various other systems or devices.
- the memory 30 may comprise temporary storage areas, such as, for example, cache, virtual memory, or random access memory (RAM), or permanent storage areas, such as, for example, read-only memory (ROM), removable drives, network/internet storage, hard drives, flash memory, memory sticks, or any other known volatile or non-volatile data storage devices located internally or externally to the main controller 26.
- ROM read-only memory
- removable drives such as, for example, removable drives, network/internet storage, hard drives, flash memory, memory sticks, or any other known volatile or non-volatile data storage devices located internally or externally to the main controller 26.

- the generator controller 36 may also be similar in function and design to the main controller 26 and may monitor and process input from various sensors of the electrical generator 14.
- the generator set 10 is shown having a specific set of controllers, it should be appreciated that other embodiments may include only the main controller 26, only the generator controller 36 and engine controller 32, or the main 26 and one of the generator controller 36 and the engine controller 32.
- a pressure sensor 40 may be disposed along the exhaust conduit 22, such as, for example, upstream of the particulate filter assembly 24, for detecting a pressure along the exhaust conduit 22.
- a temperature sensor 42 may be positioned at or near the particulate filter assembly 24 to sense a temperature of the one or more filter sections of the particulate filter assembly 24.
- Each of the pressure sensor 40 and the temperature sensor 42, and any additional sensors deemed appropriate, may be in communication with the main controller 26 via communication lines 44 and 46. Monitoring one or both of these sensors 40 and 42 may provide an indication of a load of the particulate filter assembly 24 and, therefore, whether or not the particulate filter assembly 24 needs regeneration. It should be appreciated that a "load" of the particulate filter assembly 24 may represent an accumulation of particulate matter within the particulate filter assembly 24.
- the particulate filter assembly 24 may be provided with at least one electrical heating element 48 for facilitating regeneration.
- the electrical heating element 48 is based on the principle of resistance heating, with a current flowing through an electrically conductive material to heat the trapped particulate matter within the particulate filter assembly 24 to a temperature at which it combusts or vaporizes.
- the electrical heating element 48 is connected to a voltage source, namely the electrical generator 14, via an electrical transmission line 50. Electrical power generated by the electrical generator 14 may be supplied to the electrical heating element 48 periodically, or as a function of certain parameters, such as, for example, exhaust gas backpressure sensed by pressure sensor 40 or particulate filter temperature determined by temperature sensor 42.
- the supply of electrical power from the electrical generator 14 to the electrical heating element 48 may be interrupted after a period of time sufficient to initiate the regeneration process.
- the main controller 26 may be configured to determine when the particulate filter assembly 24 needs regeneration and, in response, direct the electrical generator 14 to energize, or supply electrical power to, the electrical heating element 48 of the particulate filter assembly 24 to facilitate regeneration. After a period of time sufficient to begin regeneration, the electronic controller 26 may instruct the electrical generator 14 to cease supplying electrical power to the electrical heating element 48 and, thereby, de- energize the electrical heating element 48.
- the particulate filter assembly 24, including the at least one electrical heating element 48 may include any one of a variety of configurations.
- the particulate filter assembly 24 may include a plurality of filter sections.
- a plurality of heating elements, each similar to electrical heating element 48, may also be provided.
- Each heating element may be positioned adjacent one of the plurality of filter sections and, when energized, may cause regeneration of the adjacent filter section.
- a desirable control scheme for the embodiment may include the regeneration of one filter section at a time, such as in a sequential manner, and may require less electrical power at one time than required for a regeneration of the entire particulate filter assembly 24.
- a typical generator set 10 includes an internal combustion engine 12 for driving an electrical generator 14.
- the electrical generator 14 provides electrical power to a load requestor 18, via an electrical transmission line 20, at a voltage, frequency, and power rating selected to suit the connected load.
- the generator set 10 includes an exhaust conduit 22 in communication with an exhaust stream of the internal combustion engine 12.
- a particulate filter assembly 24, including at least one electrical heating element 48, is disposed along the exhaust conduit 22 to reduce particulate matter emissions from the internal combustion engine 12.
- Particulate filters, such as particulate filter assembly 24, generally consist of a ceramic honeycomb structure that is surrounded by a non-permeable skin layer and include numerous channels that are blocked at alternate ends. This structure forces exhaust gas to flow through the porous walls between the channels, leaving particulate matter deposited on the walls. Periodically, or once a substantial amount of particulate matter is collected within the particulate filter assembly 24, it should be regenerated to prevent blockage.
- FIG. 2 there is shown a flow chart 60 representing an exemplary method of regenerating the particulate filter assembly 24 of the generator set 10 of Figure 1.
- the method may be implemented in whole, or in part, by the main controller 26, in combination with the engine controller 32 and the generator controller 36, of the generator set 10.
- Each of the controllers 26, 32, and 36 may include a computer usable medium having computer readable code thereon for implementing the method, which may run continuously, at a predetermined frequency, or may be initiated by an operator.
- the method begins at a START, Box 62. From Box 62, the method proceeds to Box 64, which includes the step of monitoring a load or accumulation amount of the particulate filter assembly 24. Specifically, the main controller 26 may monitor one or both of a pressure sensor 40 and a temperature sensor 42 to determine the load of the particulate filter assembly 24.
- the electronic controller 26 may be configured to estimate the load of the particulate filter assembly 24 based on the internal combustion engine 12 operating at a constant speed. It should be appreciated that there exist many alternatives for determining a load or accumulation of the particulate filter assembly 24.
- the method proceeds to Box 66.
- the main controller 26 determines if regeneration of the particulate filter assembly 24 is necessary. It may be desirable to regenerate the particulate filter assembly 24 periodically or, alternatively, when a first predetermined threshold is reached, such as when a particularly high load or accumulation is detected at Box 64. It should be appreciated that numerous methods for determining when regeneration is necessary are contemplated, and many different accumulation thresholds may be selected.
- the method proceeds to Box 68. If, however, the main controller 26 determines that regeneration is not necessary, the method may return to Box 64, where the load of the particulate filter assembly 24 is continually monitored or monitored at a predetermined frequency.
- the main controller 26 in communication with the generator controller 36, calculates an excess amount of electrical power produced by the electrical generator 14.
- the excess amount of electrical power includes a difference between electrical power produced by the electrical generator 14 and electrical power requested by the load requestor 18. It should be appreciated that generator sets, such as generator set 10, are typically sized to accommodate the highest anticipated starting, peak, and running loads and, therefore, usually produce, or are capable of producing, excess electrical power, which may or may not be used.
- the method proceeds to Box 70.
- the main controller 26 determines if the amount of excess electrical power is sufficient for regeneration. Specifically, the main controller 26 compares the amount of excess electrical power calculated at Box 68 to an amount of electrical power necessary for regeneration.
- the amount of electrical power necessary for regeneration may include the requisite power for regenerating the entire particulate filter assembly 24.
- the electrical power necessary for regeneration may only include the power necessary for regenerating one of a plurality of filter sections of the particulate filter assembly 24, such as by energizing one of a plurality of heating elements.
- the method proceeds to Box 72.
- the main controller 26 instructs the electrical generator 14, via generator controller 36, to provide the excess electrical power to the electrical heating element 48.
- the excess electrical power energizes the electrical heating element 48, thereby heating the trapped particulate matter to a temperature at which it combusts or vaporizes. It should be appreciated that, if multiple heating elements are used, the main controller 26 may be configured to communicate with each of the heating elements and manage regeneration of the particulate filter assembly 24 according to a predetermined strategy.
- the method proceeds to Box 74.
- the main controller 26 may determine if an override mode is in effect.
- the override mode may be optional, and may offer the ability to regenerate the particulate filter assembly 24 even if a sufficient amount of excess electrical power is not available. For example, it may be desirable to regenerate the particulate filter assembly 24 if regeneration has not occurred for an extended period of time. Alternatively, regeneration may be desirable if the load of the particulate filter assembly 24 has reached a second predetermined threshold, such as when extreme blockage is detected, or if the performance of the particulate filter assembly 24 is compromised.
- Box 76 includes a step of limiting the electrical power available to the load requestor 18. It should be appreciated that the main controller 26, and/or the generator controller 36, may only limit the electrical power to the load requestor 18 for a time period necessary to initiate regeneration of the particulate filter assembly 24, at Box 72.
- the method proceeds to Box 78, which includes the step of delaying regeneration.
- the main controller 26 may delay regeneration when a predetermined criteria is satisfied, such as when a determination at Box 70 is made that the excess electrical power is insufficient for regeneration. It should be appreciated that one or more additional criteria may also be required.
- the regeneration may be delayed for a predetermined period of time or, alternatively, indefinitely.
- the method returns to Box 68 to recalculate the amount of excess electrical power produced by the electrical generator 14. When a sufficient amount of excess electrical power is available, the method will eventually proceed to Box 72, which includes regeneration of the particulate filter assembly 24, as described above. After the particulate filter assembly 24 is regenerated, the method proceeds to an END, at Box 80.
