“…3 Emission limits have been considerably reduced and the driving cycles to assess vehicle emissions have become more aggressive (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Cycle (WLTC)) and more general (real driving emissions (RDE)), covering a wider range of operating conditions. In addition, the use of on-board diagnostics (OBD) has been mandatory since 1996 4 and regulations require monitoring of the aftertreatment system for malfunction 5 and performance degradation. 6…”

This work presents an optimized ammonia injection strategy for the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Cycle and its potential benefits in terms of NO x emissions and ammonia consumption in selective catalytic reduction. An optimization tool based on optimal control was used to improve the ammonia injection in the selective catalytic reduction with different NO x emission limits. This optimal control can be used in two ways: one to minimize NO x emission and another to reduce the ammonia consumption in the selective catalytic reduction. The optimized strategy and the standard ammonia injection strategy were tested and compared on a fully instrumented engine test bench when applied in a Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Cycle. The results showed a considerable improvement in the use of the optimization tool. When compared to the standard calibration, the new injection strategy for the same amount of ammonia injection reduced NO x emissions by 13.7%, and for the same NO x concentration emissions 33.5% of ammonia consumption was saved.
