Abstract
A method includes initializing first and second fuel properties associated with a fuel received by an engine system. The method also includes estimating the first fuel property based on one or more quantities. The method also includes adjusting the second fuel property based on a correction term associated with an engine operation parameter. The method also includes determining one or more additional fuel properties based on the first fuel property and the adjusted second fuel property. The method also includes modifying one or more models associated with the engine system based on the one or more additional fuel properties, wherein the one or more models are associated with controlling the engine system.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- initializing first and second fuel properties associated with a fuel received by an engine system;
- estimating the first fuel property based on one or more quantities;
- adjusting the second fuel property based on a correction term associated with an engine operation parameter;
- determining one or more additional fuel properties based on the first fuel property and the adjusted second fuel property;
- and
- modifying one or more models associated with the engine system based on the one or more additional fuel properties, wherein the one or more models are associated with controlling the engine system.
A system, comprising:
- an engine system;
- a controller having a memory and one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
- initialize first and second fuel properties associated with a fuel received by the engine system;
- estimate the first fuel property based on one or more quantities;
- adjust the second fuel property based on a correction term associated with an engine operation parameter;
- determine one or more additional fuel properties based on the first fuel property and the adjusted second fuel property;
- and
- modify one or more models associated with the engine system based on the one or more additional fuel properties, wherein the one or more models are associated with controlling the engine system.
A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium, comprising computer-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to:
- initialize first and second fuel properties associated with a fuel received by an engine system;
- estimate the first fuel property based on one or more quantities;
- adjust the second fuel property based on a correction term associated with an engine operation parameter;
- determine one or more additional fuel properties based on the first fuel property and the adjusted second fuel property;
- and
- modify one or more models associated with the engine system based on the one or more additional fuel properties, wherein the one or more models are associated with controlling the engine system.
