[0098] The exhaust gas components are analyzed in real time by an infrared spectrometer to obtain exhaust gas component analysis results (assuming that there are three exhaust gas component analysis results, namely CO, CO2 and O2 and their respective concentrations).

[0099] Preferably, as an implementable embodiment, the method for calculating the combustion efficiency in step S2 includes:

[0100] S21. Calculate theoretical thermal efficiency based on combustion chamber temperature and combustion chamber pressure;

[0101] S22, calculating the current actual air-fuel ratio using the detection ratio of the methanol flow rate and the oxygen flow rate; and then calculating the corrected current air-fuel ratio based on the current actual air-fuel ratio, the preset ideal air-fuel ratio and the adjustment parameters;

[0102] Corrected current air-fuel ratio

[0103] Among them: AFR 实际 : The actual air-fuel ratio calculated in step S22;

[0104] AFR 理想 : ideal air-fuel ratio;

[0105] σ: represents a tuning parameter;

[0106] S23, calculating the proportion of incompletely burned fuel according to the exhaust gas composition analysis result;

[0107] S24, comprehensively calculating the above parameters, namely the theoretical thermal efficiency, the corrected current air-fuel ratio and the proportion of incompletely burned fuel, to output the actual combustion efficiency and obtain the actual combustion efficiency.

[0108] The actual combustion efficiency is calculated as: 实际( =η 理论( ·k 空燃比( 1-r 末完全燃烧 ;

[0109] η 实际 : The actual combustion efficiency finally calculated;

[0110] η 理论 : Theoretical thermal efficiency;

[0111] k 空燃比: Corrected current air-fuel ratio k 空燃比 ;

[0112] r 末完全燃烧 : Indicates the proportion of fuel that is not completely burned.

[0113] S combines the above parameters to specifically refer to the comprehensive use of the theoretical thermal efficiency, the corrected current air-fuel ratio and the proportion of incompletely burned fuel to calculate the output of the actual combustion efficiency.

[0114] In the specific technical solution of this embodiment, during the execution of step S23, the proportion of incompletely burned fuel is calculated according to the exhaust gas component analysis result, specifically:

[0115] Example: Calculating the proportion of fuel that is not completely burned

[0116] Assume that this technical solution conducts a combustion test and obtains the following exhaust gas composition analysis results (also possible):

[0117] CO (nitric oxide) concentration: 1000ppm;

[0118] CO2 (carbon dioxide) concentration: 12%;

[0119] O2 (oxygen) concentration: 3%;

[0120] Explanation: The reason why the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application allows the exhaust gas (for example: CO2) to be recycled is that research has found that it has the following technical effects: methanol and pure oxygen are mixed and burned in the cylinder to generate high-temperature carbon dioxide and water vapor. When the high-temperature carbon dioxide and water vapor are input as circulating gas media, they will be mixed with oxygen to reduce the concentration of pure oxygen, thereby ensuring the volume of gas entering the engine cylinder (that is, by mixing high-temperature carbon dioxide and water vapor with oxygen, the concentration of oxygen entering the cylinder can be reduced. This is because carbon dioxide and water vapor occupy a part of the volume, reducing the volume ratio of pure oxygen. Although the oxygen concentration is reduced, the total volume of gas entering the engine cylinder can be ensured to remain unchanged or increase appropriately by recycling the exhaust gas. This can maintain the power output of the engine).

[0121] On the other hand, by recycling the high-temperature tail gas (such as CO2) after the combustion, that is, these high-temperature gases can be used as circulating gas medium. The utilization rate of fuel can be further improved. On the other hand, recycling tail gas can reduce carbon dioxide emissions because part of the carbon dioxide is reused instead of being directly discharged into the atmosphere.

[0122] 1. First calculate the theoretical incompletely burned fuel ratio:

[0123] The proportion of incompletely burned fuel can usually be estimated by the concentration of CO and CO2. The following formula can be used for this technical solution:

[0124]

[0125] in:

[0126] C CO is the CO concentration (ppm).

[0127] is the CO2 concentration (expressed in ppm).

[0128] 2.Convert concentration units:

[0129] First, this technical solution needs to convert the CO2 concentration into ppm:

[0130]

[0131] 3. Calculate the proportion of fuel that is not completely burned

[0132] Substituting the concentration into the formula:

[0133] r 末完全燃烧 =10001000+120000=1000121000≈0.00826;

[0134] 4. Convert to percentage:

[0135] Convert ratio to percentage: r 末完全燃烧 ≈0.826%;

[0136] From the above examples, it can be seen that by analyzing the exhaust gas composition to obtain the exhaust gas composition analysis result, and then continuing to perform the software calculation operation, the present application example obtains that the proportion of incompletely burned fuel is about 0.826%. This value can be used for further combustion efficiency calculation and optimization.

[0137] Explanation: In the specific technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, due to

[0138] The calculation formula for actual combustion efficiency is: 实际( =η 理论( ·k 空燃比( 1-r 末完全燃烧 ;

[0139] Variable description of the above calculation formula:

[0140] η 实际 : The actual combustion efficiency finally calculated.

[0141] η 理论 : Theoretical thermal efficiency calculated in step S21.

[0142] k 空燃比 : The data calculated based on the correction coefficient of the current air-fuel ratio, that is, the corrected current air-fuel ratio k 空燃比 .

[0143] r 末完全燃烧 : Indicates the proportion of fuel that is not completely burned.

[0144] Specific implementation process description: 理论 Calculated by combustion chamber temperature and combustion chamber pressure; the corrected current air-fuel ratio is k 空燃比 , is calculated based on the correction coefficient of the current air-fuel ratio and the preset ideal air-fuel ratio and adjustment parameter output. The calculation formula is:

[0145] Corrected current air-fuel ratio

[0146] Among them: AFR 实际 : The current air-fuel ratio calculated in step S22. AFR 理想 : ideal air-fuel ratio (usually about 1.5 for methanol). σ: represents an adjustment parameter (for example, it can be 0.2). 末完全燃烧 : The proportion of incompletely burned fuel calculated in step S23.

[0147] During the execution of the above step S24, n 实际( =η 理论( ·k 空燃比( 1-r 末完全燃烧 The above processing process refers to the theoretical efficiency, the influence of the corrected air-fuel ratio, and the efficiency loss caused by incomplete combustion. Through this information processing process, the embodiment of the present application obtains a more accurate estimate of the actual combustion efficiency.

[0158] K i,i (t+1) is the value of the integral gain of the i-th control variable at time t+1t+1t+1. The integral gain is used to eliminate steady-state errors, that is, to adjust the output by accumulating past errors.

[0159] K d,i (t+1 is the value of the derivative gain of the ith control variable at time t+1. The derivative gain is used to predict future error changes and help reduce the overshoot of the system;

[0160] α p ,α i ,α d are their respective learning rates, and E is the preset threshold index of the comprehensive performance of fuel saving;

[0161] α p : The learning rate of the proportional gain. It controls the adjustment amplitude of the proportional gain during the update process, affecting the speed and stability of system convergence.

[0162] ai: Learning rate of integral gain. It controls the adjustment amplitude of integral gain during the update process and affects the improvement speed of steady-state performance.

[0164] E is the preset threshold indicator of the comprehensive performance of fuel saving. It is an objective function to measure the performance of the system, and the update of PID parameters will be based on the gradient information of this indicator.

[0173] u m(t+1)=u m (t)+Δu m ;

[0174] u o (t+1)=u o (t)+Δu o ;

[0175] u T (t+1)=u T (t)+Δu T .

[0176] When executing the current methanol flow to update the control variable of the next control timing node, real-time judgment u m Is (t+1) greater than the maximum methanol flow rate u? m,max ; if u m (t+1)> Maximum methanol flow rate u m,max , then u m (t+1) = Maximum methanol flow rate u m,max .

[0177] In the above execution process, sensor data acquisition, that is, obtaining data from temperature sensors, pressure sensors, flow sensors, etc. Then the above error calculation is performed: the difference between the actual value and the set target value is calculated. The control amount that needs to be adjusted (i.e. the control increment Δu of the methanol flow) is calculated according to the control algorithm. m and the control increment Δu of oxygen flow o and the control increment Δu of the combustion chamber temperature T ). Finally, the execution control is implemented: that is, the control is implemented by adjusting the actuators such as valves and pumps.

[0178] For example: Assume that in the above example, there is a methanol-burning internal combustion engine, and the goal is to optimize its operating performance so that it can achieve the best combustion efficiency and emission control under specific load conditions. Here is how to apply the above solution to this case:

[0179] Get the current demand input command, analyze the current demand input command, and obtain the set target combustion chamber temperature T target and target nitrogen oxide emissions NO x,target And the target methanol flow rate u m,target The command information and setting of methanol flow rate u m,max The maximum value of

[0180] In the initial state, record the current methanol flow u m (t), oxygen flow u o (t) and combustion chamber temperature u T (t). Calculate the current error: e m =um,target -u m (t); e o =u o,target -u o (t); e T =T target -u T (t);

[0181] Calculate the current multivariable control error, and output the control increment Δu of the methanol flow rate according to the current multivariable control error and the coupling effect matrix G of each control variable built into the system. m and the control increment Δu of oxygen flow o and the control increment Δu of the combustion chamber temperature T : Calculate Δu using the coupling effect of each control variable built into the system m , Δu o , Δu T For example, assuming that the coupling effect dynamics G of each control variable built into the system is known, calculate the required control increment. Where G is the 3x3 system built-in parameter factor coupling matrix.

[0182] According to the calculation, the incremental adjustment control variable of the next control timing node (i.e. the next control moment) is obtained: m (t+1)=u m (t)+Δu m ;u o (t+1)=u o (t)+Δu o ;u T (t+1)=u T (t)+Δu T ;

[0183] Explanation: In the multivariable control algorithm, Δu m Represents the control increment of methanol flow. It is achieved by adjusting the control error (i.e., the difference between the actual output and the target output). Specifically, the control system calculates the methanol flow that needs to be adjusted based on the dynamic characteristics of the system and the error feedback to make the system closer to the set target.

[0184] When executing the current methanol flow to update the control variable of the next control timing node, real-time judgment u m Is (t+1) greater than the maximum methanol flow rate u? m,max ; if u m (t+1)> Maximum methanol flow rate u m,max , then u m (t+1) = Maximum methanol flow rate u m,max .

[0185] In the multivariable control algorithm, the control increments are described using the following matrix equation:

[0186]

[0187] Here G is a dynamic matrix that includes the coupling effect of the system on each control variable. By solving this equation, the adjustment amount of each control variable (such as Δu m ). This indicates the adjustments that need to be made to each control variable in order to eliminate the error e.

[0188] In another synchronous specific implementation, each control variable can also be adjusted by a comprehensive performance index function; after step S44, it also includes: further determining whether a comprehensive control operation instruction is received, and if a comprehensive control operation instruction is received, setting a comprehensive performance index function F;

[0189] By maximizing the comprehensive performance index function F, the optimal control parameters of the exhaust gas recirculation rate EGR at the next control timing node are solved.

[0190] Preferably, as an implementable embodiment; the setting of the comprehensive performance index function F; utilizing the above-mentioned comprehensive performance index function F to maximize and solve the optimal control parameters of the exhaust gas recirculation rate EGR of the next control timing node, specifically includes:

[0191] S45: Setting comprehensive performance index function F:

[0192] F = w1*η exhaust methanol detection side combustion efficiency + w2*(1-|φ-φopt|)+w3*(1-|T-Topt| / Tmax)-w4*(NOx(t) / NOx,target)-w5*(FC / FCbaseline)+w6*(1-|EGR-EGRopt| / EGRmax);

[0193] η is the combustion efficiency of the exhaust methanol detection side;

[0194] φ: current equivalence ratio;

[0195] φ opt : Optimal equivalence ratio;

[0196] T: current combustion chamber temperature;

[0197] T opt : Optimal combustion chamber temperature;

[0198] T max : Maximum permissible combustion chamber temperature;

[0199] NOx(t): current nitrogen oxide emissions;

[0200] NOx target : Target nitrogen oxide emissions;

[0201] FC: current fuel consumption rate;

[0202] FC bascline : Baseline fuel consumption rate;

[0203] EGR: current exhaust gas recirculation rate;

[0204] EGR opt : Optimal exhaust gas recirculation rate;

[0205] EGR max : Maximum allowable exhaust gas recirculation rate;

[0206] S46: Define the calculation method of each parameter:

[0207] First, define η tail gas methanol detection side combustion efficiency = (LHVin-LHV_out) / LHVin;

[0208] Among them, LHV_in is the lower heating value of methanol entering the combustion chamber, and LHV_out is the lower heating value of unburned methanol in the tail gas;

[0209] Then define the equivalence ratio φ:

[0210] Equivalence ratio φ=(m f uel / m o xygen) / (m f uel / m o xygen)stoich iometric;

[0211] Where: φ: represents the equivalent ratio; m f uel: represents the fuel mass; m o xygen: represents the mass of oxygen;

[0212] (m f uel / m o xygen)stoich iometric: represents the theoretical stoichiometric ratio;

[0213] Then directly obtain the actual combustion chamber temperature T and the actual nitrogen oxide emission N0x(t); obtain the optimal combustion chamber temperature T opt and the maximum permissible combustion chamber temperature Tmax and the target nitrogen oxide emissions NOx target

[0214] Get the base fuel consumption rate, and then calculate the fuel consumption rate FC: FC = m f uel / Poweroutput;

[0215] Where, FC: represents fuel consumption rate; m f uel: represents fuel quality; Poweroutput: represents engine output power;

[0216] mfuel: represents the fuel mass, usually expressed in grams per second (g / s) or kilograms per hour (kg / h)

[0217] Poweroutput: represents the engine output power, usually expressed in kilowatts (kW);

[0218] This formula calculates the amount of fuel consumed per unit of power output, usually expressed in grams per kilowatt-hour (g / kWh). It is an important indicator of engine fuel efficiency, and the lower the value, the higher the fuel efficiency of the engine.

[0219] Calculate the EGR rate: EGR = m_recirculated / m_total_intake;

[0220] Among them, EGR: represents the exhaust gas recirculation rate; m_recirculated: represents the mass of recirculated exhaust gas; m_total_intake: represents the total mass of intake air (including fresh intake air and recirculated exhaust gas);

[0221] This formula calculates the percentage of total intake air that is recirculated. EGR is usually expressed as a percentage and is used to control the engine's combustion temperature and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Higher EGR rates can reduce combustion temperatures, thereby reducing NOx formation, but may also affect engine performance and efficiency.

[0222] Obtain the specific values ​​of the matching weight coefficients w1-w6, and substitute all parameters into the formula comprehensive performance index function F to calculate the F value under the current working conditions;

[0223] S46. Optimizing the EGR rate to solve the output maximization comprehensive performance index F: First, obtain the search range and step size that define the EGR rate;

[0224] EGRmin=x1%, EGRmax=x2%, step length ΔEGR=n%;

[0225] According to the above EGRmin, EGRmax, and ΔEGR, the gradient descent method is used to optimize EGR. During the specific optimization, the set learning rate learning_rate, the maximum number of iterations max_iterations, and the tolerance tolerance are obtained to iteratively update the EGR value.

[0226] In each iteration, the gradient of the maximum comprehensive performance index F with respect to EGR is calculated, the EGR value is updated, and it is checked whether the termination condition is met. At the same time, the EGR value is iteratively adjusted in this process until a local maximum value is found and recorded as the optimal EGR value;

[0227] The optimal EGR value is taken as the target value, and the optimal actuator control parameters corresponding to the current target value are analyzed and applied to the engine control system.

[0228] In the process of executing a specific case, determine the weight coefficient: obtain the corresponding weight coefficient according to the engine type matching. For example, determine the values ​​of w1 to w6 through experiments and expert experience. For example:

[0229] w1=0.3,w2=0.15,w3=0.15,w4=0.2,w5=0.1,w6=0.1

[0230] Calculate the F value: Substitute all parameters into the formula comprehensive performance index function F and calculate the F value under the current working conditions.

[0231] S46. Optimize EGR rate to maximize the comprehensive performance index F:

[0232] Define the search range and step size for the EGR rate:

[0233] EGRmin=0%,EGRmax=30%,step length ΔEGR=0.5%;

[0234] For example, the code to implement the golden section search algorithm:

[0235] defgolden_section_search(f,a,b,tol=1e-5):

[0236] gr=Sqrt(5)+1) / 2#Golden ratio c=b-(ba) / gr

[0237] d=a+(ba) / grawhileabs(ba)>tol:iff(c)>f(d):b=d

[0238] else:

[0239] a=c

[0240] c=b-(ba) / gr

[0241] d = a + (ba) / grreturn (b + a) / 2 # define the objective function (negative F, because this embodiment is to maximize F) defobjective (EGR):

[0242] return-calculate_F(EGR)#calculate_F function implements F calculation in S45#

[0243] Use golden section search to find the optimal EGREGR_optimal=

[0244] golden_section_search(objective,EGRmin,EGRmax)

[0245] Real-time EGR control strategy:

[0246] According to the above EGRmin, EGRmax, and ΔEGR, the gradient descent method is used to optimize EGR. During the specific optimization, the set learning rate learning_rate, the maximum number of iterations max_iterations, and the tolerance tolerance are obtained to iteratively update the EGR value.

[0247] In each iteration, the gradient of the maximum comprehensive performance index F with respect to EGR is calculated, the EGR value is updated, and it is checked whether the termination condition is met. At the same time, the EGR value is iteratively adjusted in this process until a local maximum value is found and recorded as the optimal EGR value;

[0248] The optimal EGR value is taken as the target value, and the optimal actuator control parameter (such as valve opening) corresponding to the current target value is analyzed and applied to the engine control system.

[0249] For example: the technical solution sets the EGR search range, such as EGRmin = 0% and EGRmax = 20%. Select an initial EGR value, such as EGR = 5%.

[0250] Use the gradient descent method to optimize EGR. In this embodiment, the learning rate learning_rate=

[0251] 0.01, the maximum number of iterations max_iterations = 100, and a tolerance tolerance =

[0252] 0.001. In each iteration, the gradient of F with respect to EGR is calculated, the EGR value is updated, and the termination condition is checked. This process will iteratively adjust EGR until a local maximum is found. Once the optimal EGR value is found, for example, EGR_optimal = 12%, it is applied to the engine control system, and the current target value is analyzed to correspond to the optimal actuator control parameter (such as valve opening) applied to the engine control system to achieve the control strategy of this optimal value.

[0253] EGR_optimal represents the optimal exhaust gas recirculation rate that can maximize the comprehensive performance index function F under given conditions. After obtaining the EGR_optimal value, the optimal value control strategy is implemented through the actuator control parameters to achieve overall optimization of engine performance. It helps to better balance the control of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions and combustion efficiency. The optimal EGR value takes into account the balance of multiple performance indicators.

[0254] For example:

[0255] The current engine parameters are as follows:

[0256] Combustion efficiency η: 85%;

[0257] Equivalence ratio φ: 1.2;

[0258] Combustion chamber temperature T: 1800K;

[0259] Optimal combustion temperature Topt: 1750K;

[0260] Maximum allowable combustion temperature Tmax: 2000K;

[0261] Current nitrogen oxide emissions NOx(t): 100ppm;

[0262] Target nitrogen oxide emission NOx, target: 50ppm;

[0263] Current fuel consumption rate FC: 250g / kWh;

[0264] Baseline fuel consumption rate FCbaseline: 270g / kWh;

[0265] The weight coefficients w1-w5 are set according to actual needs and the judgment of engineers, for example:

[0266] w1 = 0.4 (focus on combustion efficiency);

[0267] w2 = 0.2 (medium emphasis on equivalence ratio);

[0268] w3 = 0.1 (lower emphasis on temperature deviation);

[0269] w4 = 0.2 (focus on nitrogen oxide emissions);

[0270] w5=0.1 (focus on fuel consumption);

[0271] Now, this embodiment applies S45 and S46 to optimize EGR control:

[0272] First, calculate the comprehensive performance index function F:

[0273] F=(0.4*0.85)+(0.2*(1-|1.2-1|))+(0.1*(1-|1800-1750| / 2000))-(0.2*(100 / 50))-(0.1*(250 / 270));

[0274] Then, this embodiment sets the search range of EGR, such as EGRmin=0% and EGRmax=20%. Select an initial EGR value, such as EGR=5%. Use gradient descent to optimize EGR. This embodiment can set the learning rate learning_rate=0.01, the maximum number of iterations max_iterations=100, and a tolerance tolerance=0.001. In each iteration, the gradient of F with respect to EGR is calculated, the EGR value is updated, and the termination condition is checked whether it is met. This process will iteratively adjust EGR until a local maximum is found. Once the optimal EGR value is found, such as EGR_optimal=12%, it is applied to the engine control system and the EGR valve opening is adjusted to achieve this optimal value.

[0275] Based on reality: Research has found that if there is still too much methanol in the exhaust gas, it may cause the following problems: 1. Increased nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions; 2. Temperature increase: The presence of methanol in the exhaust gas may cause the combustion chamber temperature to increase, increase the generation of NOx, cause environmental pollution and non-compliance with regulations. Engine performance problems; 3. Power loss: Unburned methanol may affect the overall performance and power output of the engine, resulting in slower acceleration and response. 4. Too much unburned methanol may cause carbon deposition, which in turn affects combustion efficiency (comprehensive performance indicator function F). 4. Too much methanol may affect the performance of the catalyst, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of the catalytic converter, thereby affecting the comprehensive performance indicator function F.

[0276] However, further research found that the above 1-3 problems are long-term problems and will not affect engine performance in the short term. However, carbon deposits and the performance of the catalyst have a greater impact on the comprehensive performance index function F in the short term.

[0277] In the further research process, it is found that even if the methanol flow rate is not limited, excessive methanol flow rate still affects the comprehensive performance index function F of the above steps; an improved design is proposed, and then the improved comprehensive performance index function F' is output;

[0278] In order to more comprehensively consider the impact of introducing too much methanol on the degradation of catalyst performance, the increase of carbon deposits and the attenuation of combustion efficiency, we will redesign step S45, i.e. the modified step S50. The maximum working efficiency of the catalyst, the working efficiency of the current catalyst, and the influence factor of carbon deposits on combustion efficiency are introduced into the comprehensive performance index function. The following is the redesigned content:

[0279] Execute the following step S50: reset the comprehensive performance index function F', and then recalculate and iteratively adjust the EGR:

[0280] The comprehensive performance index function F' is defined as:

[0281]

[0282] Parameter Description:

[0283] w1,w2,w3,w4,w5,w6,w7,w8w_1,w_2,w_3,w_4,w_5,w_6,w_7,w_8w1

[0284] , w2, w3, w4, w5, w6, w7, w8: weight coefficients, used to adjust the influence of each indicator on the comprehensive performance, and need to be set according to the specific application.

[0285] φ: Current equivalence ratio, which indicates the ratio of fuel to oxygen. The ideal value should be close to the theoretical value.

[0286] φ opt : The optimal equivalence ratio is determined through experiments or model analysis.

[0287] T: Current combustion chamber temperature, which affects combustion efficiency and emissions.

[0288] T opt : The optimal combustion chamber temperature is determined through experiments.

[0289] T max : Maximum permissible combustion chamber temperature, above which engine damage or excessive NOx emissions may result.

[0290] NOx(t): Current nitrogen oxide emissions must be controlled within the regulatory range.

[0291] NOx target : Set target nitrogen oxide emissions.

[0292] FC: Current fuel consumption rate, reflecting fuel efficiency.

[0293] EGR: The current exhaust gas recirculation rate, which directly affects the combustion characteristics and emission levels.

[0298] S max : The maximum carbon deposit tolerance of the catalyst refers to the maximum amount of carbon deposit that the catalyst can accept while ensuring performance. current :The current carbon deposit level of the catalyst affects the effectiveness and combustion efficiency of the catalyst.

[0299] The technical solution adopted in the embodiment of the present invention takes into account the influence of catalyst performance and carbon deposition;

[0300] In the new comprehensive performance indicator function, two new items are added:

[0301] 1. Impact of catalyst working efficiency:

[0302] Import Item Used to evaluate the impact of catalyst performance degradation. When the current catalyst efficiency is lower than the maximum efficiency, this item will have a negative impact on the comprehensive performance index F, prompting the system to adjust operations to restore catalyst performance.

[0303] 2. Impact of carbon deposition:

[0304] Import Item Used to evaluate the effect of carbon deposits on catalyst performance. Increased carbon deposits can lead to decreased catalyst activity, thus affecting combustion efficiency and emission control.

[0305] In summary, the potential impact of excessive methanol on catalyst performance degradation and increased carbon deposits has been fully considered through the redesign of the comprehensive performance index function FFF. This improvement will help achieve more refined engine control, ensuring that combustion efficiency and catalyst performance are optimized while meeting environmental regulations. By dynamically adjusting the EGR rate and other control parameters, emissions can be effectively reduced and the economy and reliability of the overall system can be improved.

[0306] Then recalculating and iteratively adjusting the EGR means that after executing step S50, returning to execute step S46, that is, optimizing the EGR rate to solve the output maximization comprehensive performance index F, and optimally obtaining the updated optimal EGR target value.

[0307] The control method of the methanol-pure oxygen combustion exhaust gas recirculation internal combustion engine adopted in the embodiment of the present invention improves the engine power and thermal efficiency through the mixed combustion technology of methanol and pure oxygen with the engine's high-temperature exhaust gas, realizes the recycling of the internal combustion engine's high-temperature exhaust gas, and especially carries out in-depth control in a specific direction around the reasonable ratio control of the methanol flow rate, thereby ensuring the comprehensive combustion performance of the engine.
