Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of automatic control of methanol dual-fuel engines, and in particular relates to a method and system for controlling the air-fuel ratio in a cylinder of a marine methanol dual-fuel engine. Background Art

[0002] Methanol fuel has become an increasingly important fuel choice for marine power systems due to its low emissions, economical fuel economy, and easy storage and transportation. However, methanol-diesel dual-fuel engines face significant control challenges during in-cylinder combustion due to fuel property differences, combustion nonlinearity, and complex operating conditions. This leads to high air-fuel ratio control accuracy requirements. The air-fuel ratio is a key parameter affecting engine combustion efficiency, emissions, and power output. In terms of air-fuel ratio control, leading engine manufacturers and research institutions at home and abroad are focusing on combustion stability, fuel injection strategies, emissions control, and real-time air-fuel ratio optimization for methanol dual-fuel engines to ensure stable in-cylinder combustion and address combustion lag and incomplete combustion. In practical applications, in-cylinder air-fuel ratio data is often not available in real time due to sensor response time, data transmission delays, and complex environmental influences. This results in traditional control methods being unable to respond promptly, impacting engine combustion efficiency and stability. Therefore, an adaptive control method is needed that can adaptively adjust control parameters according to different operating conditions to achieve stable and efficient control. Based on this background, a method and system for in-cylinder air-fuel ratio control in marine methanol dual-fuel engines is proposed to address data delay issues and improve control accuracy and stability.

[0069] Example 1

[0070] The present invention provides a technical method, combined with Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a method for controlling the air-fuel ratio in a cylinder of a marine methanol dual-fuel engine includes the following steps:

[0071] S1. Using a wide-band oxygen sensor installed in the exhaust manifold to collect an oxygen concentration signal in the exhaust pipe, and calculating a real-time excess air coefficient in the engine exhaust based on the oxygen concentration signal;

[0072] S2. collecting intake manifold pressure and temperature through pressure and temperature sensors;

[0074] S4. Methanol injection into the intake manifold has a first-order inertia delay due to the wet wall effect as follows:

[0075]

[0076] A transmission delay model is established based on the engine's operating mechanism and structural characteristics. According to the principle of mass conservation, the change in mass of the working fluid within the system is equal to the sum of the masses exchanged across the system's boundaries. The law of mass conservation states that in an open system (such as the intake manifold), the change in mass within the system is equal to the mass flow entering the system minus the mass flow leaving the system. In other words, the change in mass of the working fluid within the intake manifold is equal to the total inflow of fuel and air minus the outflow of the mixture. Combined with the standard gas equation of state, a dynamic expression for the air-fuel ratio at the intake manifold is established based on the relationship between gas inflow and outflow.

[0081] S5. Input the excess air coefficient and intake manifold air mass flow obtained by S1 and S3 into S4 to obtain a transmission delay model, thereby obtaining an air-fuel ratio real-time transmission delay model. Then, based on the air-fuel ratio real-time transmission delay model of the methanol dual-fuel engine, a delay prediction estimator is designed to estimate the in-cylinder air-fuel ratio in real time. The delay estimator is divided into two parts: one is the in-cylinder air-fuel prediction item, and the other is the in-cylinder air-fuel ratio estimation item. The specific description is as follows:

[0082] Step 1: Gain after delayed input of the in-cylinder air-fuel ratio , the gain of the predicted state of the air-fuel ratio in the cylinder , correction term for the predicted state of the in-cylinder air-fuel ratio ,in is the observation gain matrix, which is adjusted by To make the error dynamic is the Hurwitz matrix, and the predicted state of the air-fuel ratio in the cylinder is as follows:

[0083]

[0084] Step 2: Estimate the time-delay state. This can be done using the input history values and known system dynamics. The in-cylinder air-fuel ratio parameter estimation function is as follows:

[0096]

[0097]

[0098] in , , ;because , the internal dynamics are unstable.

[0099] Defining system state error , The error dynamic model of the air-fuel ratio is obtained as follows:

[0100]

[0101]

[0102] in , is the target in-cylinder air-fuel ratio, is a bounded ideal internal dynamic, To design robust control to force the internal dynamics and output Track separately and .

[0103] Step 2: To solve the bounded ideal internal dynamics, the bounded reference profile is estimated using the center of the stable system The central idea is to combine the traditional stable system center with the high-order sliding mode parameter observer, assuming that the reference signal Can be linear The outer system is modeled piecewise, so the bounded estimate of the ideal inner dynamics is satisfied. It can be solved by the following differential equation:

[0104]

[0105] Where, , ,…, is the design parameter, represents the order of the hypothetical external system; , ,… , which can be calculated by the following formula:

[0106]

[0107] in , ,…, are the coefficients of the system characteristic polynomial, which can be estimated in real time by a high-order sliding mode estimator.

[0108] Step 3: To ensure and The fast convergence of , the nonlinear sliding surface based on can be designed as:

[0109]

[0110] In the formula are design parameters, is the design parameter, is a predefined time. Once the sliding surface is established, , the internal dynamics and output dynamics will converge.

[0111] The internal dynamic tracking error can be derived as:

[0112]

[0113] Select a Lyapunov function and calculate its derivative, and we get:

[0114]

[0115] Tracking Error At a predefined time After it converges to zero, due to the equation , making converges to zero, so and At a predefined time Converges to zero.

[0116] Step 4: To ensure that the error dynamic model of the in-cylinder air-fuel ratio converges to the predefined time sliding manifold within the predefined time, the adaptive predefined time air-fuel ratio control law is designed as follows:

[0117]

[0119] S7, design an adaptive mechanism for engineering scheduled performance convergence to achieve adaptive control of the air-fuel ratio in the cylinder. Combined with the scheduled performance air-fuel ratio control algorithm of S6, the target is to predict the real-time estimation value of the air-fuel ratio in the cylinder of the methanol dual-fuel engine by the estimator. The engineering scheduled performance convergence is to ensure that the system state reaches a given error range within a preset time and strictly follow the convergence trajectory. By adjusting The system state converges within a predefined time. The adaptive mechanism is used to adjust the control parameters online to cope with system uncertainties or external disturbances. When the two are combined, the adaptive mechanism can adjust the control gain or compensation term in real time so that the system always meets the convergence performance requirements of the project, that is, the error converges according to the predetermined trajectory, and the S6 It is used to compensate for the external disturbance of the estimation error system Adaptive parameters of

[0120] The adaptive strategy is designed as follows:
