In-cylinder optimal combustion with ADHDP method for diesel engines emission control

In this paper, we presented our research results on the implementation of approximate dynamic programming design for diesel engines emission control. The goals of the present control design include reduced emissions, and maintained optimum performance under various operating conditions. Using the data from a testing vehicle with VE-pump engine, we developed a controller based on the idea of approximate dynamic programming to achieve both Nitrogen Oxides and Particulate Matter optimal control. The goal of Nitrogen Oxides and Particulate Matter control is to satisfy the state-IV emission standard. For both control problems, excellent controller transient performance has been achieved.
