    Abstract: Various embodiments include systems adapted to monitor catalyst deterioration. Some embodiments include a catalyst deterioration detection system including a pre-catalytic converter gas sensor, a post-catalytic converter gas sensor, at least one computing device in communication with the pre-catalytic converter and post-catalytic converter gas sensors, the at least one computing device configured to monitor catalyst deterioration by performing actions including estimating a catalyst gas storage level by comparing a difference between a pre-catalytic converter gas level from the pre-catalytic converter gas sensor and a post-catalytic converter gas level from the post-catalytic converter gas sensor, comparing the estimated catalyst gas storage level to a baseline catalyst gas storage level and determining that the catalyst is deteriorated in response to the baseline catalyst gas storage level exceeding the estimated gas storage level by a threshold difference.

    Abstract: A passive mid bed air injection apparatus for an engine includes a three way catalyst positioned in an exhaust stream of the engine. The three way catalyst reduces NOx, CO and HC from the exhaust stream. The three way catalyst includes an ammonia slip catalyst positioned in the exhaust stream of the engine. The ammonia slip catalyst is positioned downstream from the three way catalyst and oxidizes NH3 and CO from the exhaust stream. The three way catalyst includes an oxygen input disposed between the three way catalyst and the ammonia slip catalyst such that the oxygen input delivers air downstream from the three way catalyst and upstream from the ammonia slip catalyst. The oxygen input receives the air from a charged side of a forced induction device and delivers the air to the exhaust stream entering the ammonia slip catalyst. An associated method also provided.

    Abstract: A system includes a hybrid power plant controller programmed to receive a plurality of signals representative of one or more operating parameters of a hybrid power plant. The hybrid power plant includes at least one gas turbine engine, at least one gas engine, and at least one catalyst system. The hybrid power plant controller is programmed to utilize closed-loop optimal control to generate one or more operational setpoints based on the one or more operating parameters for the hybrid power plant to optimize performance of the hybrid power plant. The hybrid power plant controller uses closed-loop optimal control to provide the one or more operational setpoints to respective controllers of the at least one gas turbine engine, the at least one gas engine, and the at least one catalyst system to control operation of the gas turbine engine, the gas engine, and the catalyst system.
