Application of backstepping control to SCR aftertreatment systems

摘要

This paper presents the results concerning the application of a backstepping based control law to urea-SCR (selective calalytic reduction) aftertreatment systems in diesel engines. The devised control law is applied over a reduced order model for the SCR catalyst, which is effective for closed-loop control and, besides that, can be embedded in diesel electronic control units. The performance of the controller is evaluated in computer simulations by means of static and dynamic testing cycles, both for nominal and disturbed system's parameters.
