Abstract:
A system includes a controller that has a processor. The processor is configured to receive a first signal from a first oxygen sensor indicative of a first oxygen measurement and a second signal from a second oxygen sensor indicative of a second oxygen measurement. The first oxygen sensor is disposed upstream of a catalytic converter system and the second oxygen sensor is disposed downstream of the catalytic converter system. The processor is also configured to derive a plurality of oxygen storage estimates based on the first signal, the second signal, and a catalytic converter model. Each of the plurality of oxygen storage estimates represents an oxygen storage estimate for a corresponding cell of a plurality of cells in the catalytic converter system. Further, the processor is configured to derive a system oxygen storage estimate for the catalytic converter system based on the plurality of oxygen storage estimates. The processor is also configured to derive a system oxygen storage setpoint for the catalytic converter system based on the catalytic converter model. The processor is then configured to compare the system oxygen storage estimate to the system oxygen storage setpoint and apply the comparison during control of a gas engine.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for controlling exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). In one example, an engine system includes a first EGR valve coupling an exhaust manifold to an engine exhaust system, a second EGR valve coupling the exhaust manifold to an engine intake system, and a control unit. The control unit selectively adjusts a position of the first EGR valve based on a target amount, and adjusts a position of the second EGR valve based on the target amount and a position of the first EGR valve. Responsive to a first degradation condition of the first EGR valve, the control unit adjusts the position of the second EGR valve based on the target amount and based on a pressure of the first exhaust manifold, and responsive to a second degradation condition of the first EGR valve, adjusts the position of the second EGR valve based on the target amount.
Abstract:
A system includes an exhaust treatment system configured to treat emissions from a combustion engine via a catalyst. The system includes a controller configured to obtain an operating parameter indicating catalyst performance. The controller is configured to determine a deterioration factor indicating deterioration of the catalyst based at least in part on the operating parameter. The controller is configured to determine an adaptation term configured to modify an air-fuel ratio command for the combustion engine to account for the deterioration.

Abstract:
Various methods and systems are provided for individually adjusting fueling to cylinders of an engine based on an output of a knock sensor coupled to each cylinder. In one embodiment, a method for a multi fuel engine comprises individually adjusting, for each cylinder of the engine, one or more of a gas flow rate of gaseous fuel, a diesel flow rate of diesel fuel, an injection or induction timing of gaseous fuel, or an injection timing of diesel fuel based on each of an output of an individual knock sensor for each cylinder, a knock threshold for current engine operating conditions, and a reference value of individual cylinder output.
Abstract:
A gas engine assembly includes a compressor, a combustion system, a bypass line and a control system. The control system is configured to control gas supply parameters based on a transportation delay value. The transportation delay value corresponds to a delay between a time when a gas supply control mechanism is adjusted and a time that gas having a corresponding adjustment of a gas characteristic is received at a predetermined point downstream from the gas supply control mechanism.
