The demands of high NOx conversion efficiency and low tailpipe ammonia slip for urea-based selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems have been substantially increased in the past decade, as NOx emission legislations for Diesel engines are becoming more stringent than ever before. Since catalyst aging has a significant impact on SCR performance, robust and adaptive SCR control has been preferred for degraded SCR systems to realize emission control objectives. The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly, a robust ammoniacoverageratio observer was designed for estimating the ammonia coverage ratio reference for catalysts with different aging levels. An ammonia storage capacity observer was developed for estimating the actual ammonia storage capacity which can be reduced due to catalyst aging. An adaptive ammonia coverage ratio reference design was then developed to estimate the desired ammoniacoverageratio ranges at each instantaneous engine operating point for both single-cell and two-cell SCR systems at different aging levels based on a singular perturbation method. Secondly, to ensure the estimated ammoniacoverageratio falls in the desired ranges for most of engine operating conditions, robust nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) algorithms were designed for both single-cell and two-cell SCR systems. Experimental data over US06 cycle were collected from a Diesel engine and aftertreatment system platform for controller verification. Simulation results under US06 test cycle demonstrate that the proposed NMPC algorithms were capable of consistently achieving high NO,, conversion efficiency (>95.6%) and constrained tailpipe ammonia slip (<10 ppm on average and <12 ppm on the peak) for both fresh catalyst and aged catalyst with 30% loss of ammonia storage capacity.

The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology is a promising diesel after-treatment technology due to its high NOx reduction potential. A nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) approach was proposed based on the three-state SCR model here for control and optimization of SCR system to maximize NOx reduction while minimizing NH3 slip and urea consumption;moreover, the ammoniacoverageratio was designed to as a control target, whose desired range was obtained by means of the singular perturbation method, that is to say, the upper limit of ammoniacoverageratio was derived by 10 ppm NH3 slip while the lower limit was calculated by maximum NOx conversion efficiency, which was obtained through a novel model based non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) according to an optimum tradeoff between NOx . conversion and NH3 slip at each engine operating point. The state-feedback NMPC algorithm was applied to ensure the estimated ammoniacoverageratio falling in the desired range so that the SCR performance can be optimized over entire engine operating. The standard European steady-state cycle (ESC) was performed for data generation from a diesel engine equipped with a commercial SCR and to verify the effectiveness of the designed control strategy. Simulation results over-the entire ESC indicated that the NOx conversion efficiency may be optimal in various engine operating modes and the NMPC controller ensures the most part of the cycle may conform to the NOx emissions requirements;moreover, the downstream NH3 concentration was less than the limit;especially, the whole mean NH3 slip was 9.7 ppm which is basically close to the given limit (10 ppm);furthermore, the ammonia storage capacity falls rapidly along with growth of the temperature but the NMPC still worked well for prevention of any unacceptably high NH3 slip. The experimental verification was carried out and the results showed that the designed strategy was effective and acceptable compared with the s
