Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system has been proven to be an effective technology for the removal of NOx emitted from marine diesel engines. In order to comply with stringent International Maritime Organization (IMO) Tier III NOx emission regulations, a number of engine manufacturers have developed their own SCR systems. This paper focuses on modeling of an SCR reactor and developing model-based urea dosing control strategy. A mathematical model of SCR reactors has been established. Model-based control strategy relies on the three-state and one-state reactor models established to accomplish urea dosing algorithm and is promising in limiting excessive NH3 slip. The SCR reactor model is further used in a simulation for the purpose of developing model-based urea dosing control strategies. The simulation results show that the NO sliding mode control requires a massive prestudy of the NOx reduction capability of the catalyst in order to set an appropriate control objective for each operating condition. However, this calibration work can be omitted in the optimal control and NH3 sliding mode control, which mitigates the workload of the controller design. The optimal control strategy presents a satisfied control performance in limiting NH3 slip during transient state engine operating conditions.

The reaction process of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) denitrification system is complex, which has the characteristics of large inertia, large delay, strong interference and uncertainty. Traditional PID control can’t achieve accurate control of ammonia injection. Based on linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC), Smith predictor is used to eliminate the delay output variables before entering extended state observer. The nonlinear state error feedback control law of ADRC structure is designed by using sliding mode control law, which improves the fast response and stability of the system. To solve the problem that the selective catalytic reduction denitrification system is difficult to achieve accurate modeling and large delay, Smith-SMC linear extended state observer (Smith-SMC-LESO) is designed. The simulation results of tracking characteristics, anti-jamming characteristics and robustness show that the set-point tracking performance and anti-jamming ability of Smith-LADRC and Smith-SMC-LESO are significantly improved.

In this paper, a nonlinear observer based sliding mode control (NOSMC) approach for air-path and a model-based observer for oxygen concentration in the diesel engine equipped with a variable geometry turbocharger and exhaust gas recirculation is introduced. We propose a less conservative observer design technique for Lipschitz nonlinear systems using Ricatti equations. The observer gains are obtained by solving the linear matrix inequality (LMI). Then a robust nonlinear control method, sliding mode control is applied for the states of intake and exhaust manifold pressure and compressor mass flow rate for the sake of the minimization of emissions. The proposed NOSMC controller is applied on a mean value model of turbocharged diesel engine. Besides this, a model-based observer is developed to estimate the oxygen concentration in the intake and exhaust manifolds owing to its significance in reducing emissions of diesel engines. The validation and efficiency of the proposed method are demonstrated by AMESim and Matlab/Simulink co-simulation results.

Abstract Building structures are prone to damage due to natural disasters, and this challenges structural engineers to design safer and more robust building structures. This study is conducted to prevent these consequences by implementing a control strategy that can enhance a building's stability and reduce the risk of damage. Therefore, to realize the structural integrity of a building, a hybrid control device is equipped with control strategies to enhance robustness. The control strategy proposed in this study is adaptive nonsingular terminal sliding mode control (ANTSMC). ANTSMC is an integrated controller of radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) and nonsingular terminal sliding mode control (NTSMC), which has a fast dynamic response, finite-time convergence, and the ability to enhance the control performance against a considerable uncertainty. The proposed controller is designed based on the sliding surface and the control law. The building with a two-degree-of-freedom (DOF) system is designed in Matlab/Simulink and validated with the experimental work connected to the LMSTest.Lab software. The performance of this controller is compared with those of the terminal sliding mode control (TSMC) and NTSMC in terms of the displacement response, sliding surface, and the probability of damage. The result showed that the proposed controller, ANTSMC can suppress vibrations up to 46%, and its percentage probability of complete damage is 15% from the uncontrolled structure. Thus, these findings are imperative towards increasing the safety level in building structures and occupants, and reducing damage costs in the event of a disaster.
