Abstract

Systems and methods for controlling a regeneration process of catalyst(s) are disclosed. The method includes receiving, via Kalman filter, initial estimation from a previous instance of time. The initial estimation includes one or more first estimated inside temperature(s) and/or first estimated outlet temperature of A/T catalyst. An output from a simulation model may be generated to calculate a mean and covariance. Sensor measurement covariance may be compared against the mean and covariance of the output to update Kalman filter gain and process covariance. A weighted average may be calculated between sensor measurements and mean of the output to generate a second estimation for the next instance of time, wherein weight is based on Kalman filter gain. The second estimation includes one or more second estimated inside temperature(s) and/or second estimated outlet temperature of A/T catalyst to control the mass flow rate in diesel engine via a closed loop control system.
