- 构建基于GRU的燃料反应性估计器,融合燃烧历史数据
- 在未知变化的十六烷值下实现0.25°以下的燃烧相位误差
- 适合需要实时燃料适应性的发动机控制研究者
多燃料压缩点火发动机具有燃料灵活性,但燃料反应性(以十六烷值CN表示)存在不确定且时变的特性,给循环间燃烧相位控制带来挑战。本文将受隐含CN变化影响的CA50调控建模为部分可观测序列决策问题,系统评估了多种具备递进时间与表征能力的控制器:LinUCB、历史增强上下文老虎机、仅观测的DDPG、循环DDPG,以及提出的GRU引导强化学习框架。基于实验多燃料发动机数据训练的高斯过程代理模型提供了可控且可复现的评估环境。结果表明,短视和固定历史的老虎机方法在CN变化下性能下降,仅依赖观测的强化学习受潜在状态混淆影响,通用循环结构在CN快速演化时亦不足。所提框架从燃烧历史中学习紧凑的GRU表示,将动作和评判网络均基于该估计信号而非已知的十六烷值。通过在部署时可用的不完美燃料反应性信息上训练策略,避免了传统在线估计算法-控制流程中的训练-部署不一致。在未见过的十六烷值轨迹上,该策略在训练设定点实现了低于0.25° CA的平均绝对跟踪误差,同时生成平滑且物理一致的喷油正时与预热塞功率控制。结果表明,面对连续演化的燃料动态,单纯的估计或通用循环不足以实现稳定控制。通过将燃料反应性推断与控制策略学习对齐,该框架实现了基于部署时同源估计状态的反应性感知决策。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Multi-fuel compression-ignition engines offer fuel flexibility but introduce uncertain, time-varying fuel reactivity, represented by cetane number (CN), which complicates cycle-to-cycle combustion-phasing control. This work formulates CA50 regulation under latent CN variation as a partially observable sequential decision problem and systematically evaluates controllers with increasing temporal and representational capacity, including LinUCB, history-augmented contextual bandits, observation-only DDPG, recurrent DDPG, and a proposed GRU-guided RL framework. A Gaussian-process surrogate trained on experimental multi-fuel engine data provides a controlled and reproducible evaluation environment. Results show that myopic and fixed-history bandit methods degrade under CN variation, observation-only RL suffers from latent-state aliasing, and generic recurrence is insufficient when CN evolves rapidly. The proposed framework learns a compact GRU-based representation of fuel reactivity from combustion history and conditions both actor and critic on this estimated signal rather than oracle CN. By training the policy on the same imperfect fuel-reactivity information available at deployment, the controller avoids train-deploy inconsistency in conventional online estimate-then-control pipelines. Across unseen CN trajectories, the policy achieves stable CA50 regulation with mean absolute tracking error below 0.25° CA at the training setpoint, while producing smooth, physically consistent SOI and glow-plug-power actuation. These results show that combustion control under latent, continuously evolving fuel dynamics requires more than standalone estimation or generic recurrence. By aligning fuel-reactivity inference with control policy learning, the proposed framework enables reactivity-aware decision-making using the same estimated state available during deployment.
