Abstract

To satisfy stricter $NO_X$ emission regulations for light- and heavy-duty diesel vehicles, a control algorithm needs to be developed based on a selective catalytic reaction (SCR) dynamics model for chemical reactions. This paper presents the development and validation of a SCR dynamics model through test rig experiments and MATLAB simulations. A nonlinear state space model is proposed based on the mass conservation law of chemical reactions in the SCR dynamics model. Experiments were performed on a test rig to evaluate the effects of the $NO_X$ and $NH_3$ concentrations, gas temperature, and space velocity on the $NO_X$ conversion efficiency for the urea-SCR system. The parameter values of the proposed SCR model were identified using the experimental datasets. Finally, a control-oriented model for an SCR system was developed and validated from the experimental data in a MATLAB simulation. The results of this study should contribute toward developing a closed-loop control strategy for $NO_X$ and $NH_3$ slip reduction in the urea-SCR system for an actual engine test bench.

디젤 자동차의 점점 강화되는 $NO_X$ 배기가스 규제를 만족하기 위해서는 화학공학 기반의 SCR 반응모델을 사용한 모델기반 제어 알고리즘 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 소형 경유차량을 대상으로 $NO_X$ 를 저감하기 위한 배기 후처리 시스템 모델을 설계하기 위하여 SCR 시스템 모델링과 Rig 실험 및 Matlab 을 이용하여 시뮬레이션 및 검증을 하였다. SCR Rig 실험은 디젤엔진에서 배출되는 배기가스와 같은 성분의 모사가스를 생성하여 공간속도와 온도의 변화에 의한 SCR 의 $NO_X$ 저감효율에 대한 실험 조건 및 데이터를 획득하였다. 또한, 제안된 모델은 Rig 실험에서 사용한 실험조건과 결과데이터를 이용하여 Matlab 을 통해 검증하였으며 시뮬레이션 시 필요한 모델의 파라미터 값들은 실험데이터를 기반으로 최적화하였다.
