    The invention relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine, in particular a gas engine, having at least two cylinders, wherein a cylinder-specific first cylinder signal is detected by each cylinder, wherein at least one combustion parameter of the corresponding cylinder is set depending on the first cylinder signal.
    The cylinders of an internal combustion engine usually have combustion-technical differences, that is, with global control of combustion parameters, such as fuel quantity or ignition timing, the individual contributions of the cylinders to the total performed work of the internal combustion engine are different. In the context of the invention, global or engine-global regulation of combustion parameters means that all cylinders of an internal combustion engine are operated with the same values for the corresponding control variables, for example, that in a global control with respect to fuel quantity, each cylinder is acted on with the same opening duration of the gas injection valve or that in a global control with respect to ignition timing, the ignition of the cylinder in each case at the same piston position of the respective piston in the cylinder - usually expressed in degrees crank angle before TDC (top dead center of the piston in the cylinder) - activated.
    In a reciprocating engine, the work of a cylinder is transmitted to an operating shaft of the internal combustion engine via a crankshaft connected to a piston connecting rod of the cylinder, wherein often an electric generator is connected to the working shaft in order to convert the mechanical energy of the working shaft into electrical energy. Among the various possibilities of cylinder equalization is the one in focus, to match the peak pressures in the individual cylinders in order to achieve the most uniform mechanical peak load on the components. Alternative equality variants see e.g. optimizing engine efficiency or minimizing pollutant emissions. 2/40 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • · · ·
    With respect to a cylinder equalization control, it is described in US Pat. No. 7,957,889 B2 that the fuel delivery for each cylinder of an internal combustion engine is adjusted so that the maximum in-cylinder pressure or cylinder peak pressure of each cylinder is set to a common target value with tolerance band. This target value results from the arithmetic mean of all cylinder peak pressures.
    Previously known systems use the arithmetic mean of cylinder-individual signals, e.g. the peak cylinder pressure as a target for a cylinder equalization scheme. However, these systems do not take into account the cylinder-specific differences arising, for example, from cylinder parameters such as air filling, deposits and wear, the center of gravity of combustion or mechanical tolerances. This results in particular dispersion widths in the emissions and combustion properties, which can lead to losses in efficiency. Cylinders with lower nitrogen oxide or NOx emissions can lose more efficiency than cylinders with higher NOx emissions. Since global - ie considered over the entire internal combustion engine - often certain NOx limits must be met, can result from such a spread in the NOx emissions of the individual cylinders due to cylinder-specific differences of cylinder parameters overall, a loss of efficiency of the internal combustion engine.
    The object of the invention is therefore to avoid the disadvantages described above and to provide a comparison with the prior art improved method for operating an internal combustion engine. In particular, cylinder-specific differences of cylinder parameters, which can lead to different emissions or efficiencies of the cylinder, are taken into account.
    This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims. 3/40
    According to the invention, it is thus provided that a cylinder-specific cylinder setpoint value for the first cylinder signal is set for each cylinder, wherein the at least one combustion parameter of the cylinder is set as a function of the deviation of the first cylinder signal from the cylinder setpoint, wherein the first cylinder signal is tracked to the cylinder setpoint.
    By means of the proposed method, cylinder-specific differences-for example in relation to the cylinder parameters air charge, deposits and wear, combustion center position or mechanical tolerances-are taken into account by setting the combustion parameter of a cylinder to be cylinder-specific, so that the cylinder-specific first cylinder signal is tracked to a respective cylinder-specific cylinder nominal value. In this case, the first cylinder signals of the cylinders are not deliberately tracked to a common desired value, but instead a suitable cylinder nominal value is set for each cylinder, by means of which the cylinder-specific differences of cylinder parameters can be taken into account. As a result, it can be achieved, for example, that the cylinders of the internal combustion engine have similar emissions and / or similar efficiencies, despite cylinder-specific differences of cylinder parameters.
    Preferably, it may be provided that at least one of the following cylinder-specific first cylinder signals is detected by each cylinder: In-cylinder pressure, cylinder exhaust gas temperature, nitrogen oxide emissions, combustion air ratio. A particular embodiment variant provides that a maximum cylinder internal pressure of a combustion cycle is detected as a cylinder-specific first cylinder signal.
    In order to obtain a better signal quality and thus a higher control quality, it can preferably be provided that the cylinder-specific first cylinder signal of a cylinder, the detected cylinder-specific first cylinder signal over 10 to 1000 combustion cycles, preferably 40 to 100 combustion cycles, time filtered.
    In general, it can be provided that the combustion parameter of a cylinder is set if the deviation of the first cylinder signal from the cylinder setpoint value exceeds a predefinable tolerance value. This allows a quieter control dynamics can be achieved.
    It can preferably be provided that the cylinder-specific cylinder nominal value comprises a statistical quantity of the first cylinder signals of all cylinders, preferably the arithmetic mean value, particularly preferably the median, and a cylinder-specific offset. The statistical variable can be the result of a statistical evaluation of the first cylinder signals of all cylinders. According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the cylinder-specific cylinder nominal value comprises the median of the first cylinder signals of all cylinders and a cylinder-specific offset.
    Preferably, it may be provided that the cylinder-specific offset is determined by a difference value map, wherein in the difference value map at least one power equivalent of the output power of the internal combustion engine and / or a charge air pressure of the internal combustion engine, preferably additionally a charge air temperature and / or an engine speed of the internal combustion engine, are taken into account.
    The creation of the difference value map with respect to a desired optimization target can be done on a test bed or when starting the internal combustion engine. Examples of optimization goals are as similar as possible NOx emissions of the cylinders or, if possible, maximum cylinder efficiencies, taking into account the mechanical load limits or operating limits of the internal combustion engine or of the engine. The determination of the cylinder-specific offsets can also be done by appropriate calculation methods, for example by the map in the form of polynomials is evaluated by calculation or by between known 5
    Measured values of operating points of the internal combustion engine is interpolated accordingly.
    According to a particularly preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the cylinder-specific offset is determined as a function of at least one of the following cylinder-specific cylinder parameters: cylinder pressure during the compression phase before ignition, air mass equivalent, combustion focus position, compression ratio, ignition delay.
    In general, the cylinder-specific offsets can be determined on a test bench as a function of at least one cylinder-specific cylinder parameter and depending on an optimization target and stored in a characteristic field.
    The determination of the cited cylinder parameters is known per se. Thus, the cylinder pressure during the compression phase before ignition, the air mass equivalent and the combustion center position, for example by means of cylinder pressure sensor from the cylinder internal pressure curve over a combustion cycle of the corresponding cylinder can be determined. The compression ratio and the ignition delay can be determined under certain conditions from the cylinder pressure curve. For the determination of a suitable cylinder-specific offset, the deviation of at least one cylinder-individual cylinder parameter from the mean value (for example arithmetic mean or median) of this cylinder parameter of all cylinders can now be used in each case.
    In this case, the cylinder-specific offset can be expressed as a sum of summands, the summands corresponding to the corresponding - provided with positive or negative coefficients - deviations of the cylinder-specific cylinder parameters.
    The deviation of the cylinder pressure of a cylinder during the compression phase prior to ignition may be expressed in terms of the arithmetic mean or median of the cylinder pressures of all cylinders, for example, in percent. In this case, compared to the mean increased cylinder pressure during the compression phase before ignition result in a positive summand for the cylinder-specific offset.
    The deviation of the air mass equivalent of a cylinder may be expressed in terms of the arithmetic mean or median of the air mass equivalents of all cylinders, for example, in percent. In this case, compared to the mean increased air mass equivalent result in a positive summand for the cylinder-specific offset.
    The deviation of the combustion center position of a cylinder can be expressed as the difference of the cylinder-specific combustion center position from the arithmetic mean or median of the combustion center positions of all cylinders, for example in degrees crank angle. In this case, a negative deviation of the combustion center position of a cylinder (that is, a previous combustion center position compared to the mean value of the combustion center positions of all cylinders) can result in a positive summand for the cylinder-specific offset.
    The deviation of the compression ratio of a cylinder may be expressed in terms of the arithmetic mean or median of the compression ratios of all cylinders, for example, in percent. In this case, compared to the mean increased compression ratio in a positive summand for the cylinder-specific offset result.
    The deviation of the ignition delay of a cylinder can be expressed as the difference of the cylinder-individual ignition delay from the arithmetic mean or median of the ignition distortions of all cylinders, for example in degrees crank angle. In this case, a positive deviation of the ignition delay of a cylinder (ie a longer ignition delay compared to the mean value of the ignition delays of all cylinders) result in a negative summand for the cylinder-specific offset. 7 ···· ·· · · < ··· · < • i ♦ · * ·
    In other words, the cylinder-specific offset Am can be determined from the respective deviations of the cylinder parameters according to the following formula:
    Am = a Apverd + b Aair + c · AMFB + d · E + E · Adelay
    In this case Apverd denotes the deviation of the cylinder pressure during the compression phase before ignition, Aair the deviation of the air mass equivalent, AMFB the deviation in the combustion center position, Δε the deviation in the compression ratio (eg due to component tolerances) and Adelay the deviations in the ignition delay (eg due to wear of a spark plug and / or antechamber). By means of the coefficients a, b, c, d, e associated with the deviations of the cylinder parameters, a weighting of the summands can be carried out for the determination of the respective cylinder-specific offset Am. By zeroing one or more of these coefficients, the corresponding deviations for the determination of the cylinder-specific offset Am can or can be ignored. In addition, by selecting a positive or negative coefficient, it can be determined whether a positive deviation leads to a positive addend or to a negative addend for the cylinder-specific offset Am.
    A fine-tuning of the coefficients a, b, c, d, e can be carried out, for example, at a test stand or when the internal combustion engine is put into operation. It can be provided that the coefficients are each set to a specific value fixed. The coefficients can also be determined by analytical approaches, by simulations or based on measurement results. It is also possible to detect the cylinder parameters and the corresponding deviations online during the operation of the internal combustion engine and also to change the coefficients depending on the optimization target during operation. For example, it may be arranged to respond to abnormal combustion conditions by giving a cylinder a higher offset Am if misfires occur or by giving a cylinder a lower offset Am if knocking and / or misfiring occurs. 8/40
    According to a particularly preferred embodiment it can be provided that a fuel quantity for the corresponding cylinder is set as the combustion parameter. In the case of an internal combustion chamber engine ignited by an internal combustion chamber, this can be the fuel quantity for the respective main combustion chamber of a cylinder. The fuel quantity for a cylinder can be increased if the cylinder-specific first cylinder signal is smaller than the cylinder-specific cylinder setpoint and the fuel quantity for a cylinder can be reduced if the cylinder-specific first cylinder signal is greater than the cylinder-specific cylinder setpoint. Preferably, a fuel metering valve may be provided for each cylinder, wherein the opening duration of the corresponding Brennstoffdosierventils is set to adjust the amount of fuel for a cylinder. Such a fuel metering valve may preferably be a port injection valve which is arranged in the region of the inlet tract of a cylinder. It can also port injection valves are used, for example, allow only a fully open or a fully closed position. Here, the duration of the opening may be defined as the period in which the valve is in its fully open position. In general, however, stroke-controlled valves can also be used in which the opening duration and / or the opening stroke of a valve are set for setting the fuel quantity for a cylinder.
    A control with respect to the combustion parameter fuel quantity, so that the respective cylinder-specific first cylinder signal is tracked to the respective cylinder-specific cylinder setpoint, can - in accordance with the cylinder-specific first cylinder signal - according to the following Table 1 done. In this case, column 1 of Table 1 lists the respective cylinder-specific first cylinder signal and a suitable possibility for detecting the respective first cylinder signal. According to column 2 of Table 1, an increase in the amount of fuel for a cylinder takes place if the respective first cylinder signal is smaller than the corresponding cylinder-specific cylinder nominal value. According to column 3 of Table 1, a reduction in the amount of fuel for a cylinder takes place if the respective first cylinder signal is greater than the corresponding cylinder-specific cylinder nominal value. The amount of fuel 9 can be increased for a cylinder, for example, by increasing the opening duration of a cylinder associated Brennstoffdosierventils. Accordingly, the amount of fuel for a cylinder can be reduced by reducing the opening duration of the fuel metering valve associated with the cylinder.

    In a further preferred embodiment it can be provided that an ignition point for the corresponding cylinder is set as the combustion parameter. Preferably, an ignition device may be provided for each cylinder, wherein the ignition timing of the ignition device in degrees crank angle before TDC (top dead center of the piston in the cylinder) is set.
    The ignition timing is usually expressed in degrees crank angle before TDC (top dead center of the piston in the cylinder) and thus indicates when a corresponding ignition device for the ignition of a fuel or fuel 10/40
    Air mixture in the cylinder or combustion chamber is triggered. The ignition device may be a spark plug (e.g., spark plug or laser spark plug) or a pilot injector for performing a pilot injection of e.g. Diesel fuel act. As an ignition device, an antechamber can also be used. Usually, the ignition timing for each cylinder of an internal combustion engine is set at the same globally given value (global default value) expressed in degrees crank angle before TDC. For example, this value is 20 to 30 degrees crank angle before TDC, the value depending on the speed of the internal combustion engine and / or can be determined depending on the ignition device used. This global default value can be derived from an ignition timing map in which suitable values for the ignition point are stored as a function of the power and / or the charge air pressure and / or the charge air temperature and / or the engine speed of the internal combustion engine.
    In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the ignition timing for a cylinder is set earlier (compared to the global default value) if the respective cylinder-individual first cylinder signal is smaller than the corresponding cylinder-specific cylinder nominal value and the ignition timing for a cylinder is later (compared to the global cylinder) Default value) is set if the respective cylinder-specific first cylinder signal is greater than the corresponding cylinder-specific cylinder setpoint.
    A control with respect to the combustion parameter ignition time, so that the respective cylinder-specific first cylinder signal is tracked to the respective cylinder-specific cylinder setpoint can - in accordance with the cylinder-specific first cylinder signal - carried out in accordance with Table 2 below. In this case, column 1 of table 2 lists the respective cylinder-specific first cylinder signal and a suitable possibility for detecting the respective first cylinder signal. According to column 2 of Table 2, a previous ignition timing is set for a cylinder if the respective first cylinder signal of the cylinder is smaller than the corresponding cylinder-individual cylinder setpoint. According to column 3 of Table 2, a later 11 ignition timing is set for a cylinder, if the respective first cylinder signal of the cylinder is greater than the cylinder-specific cylinder setpoint.

    According to a preferred embodiment, provision can be made for a parameter value to be determined for setting the at least one combustion parameter, the parameter value preferably comprising a predefinable global engine target value and a cylinder-specific differential value.
    The cylinder-specific difference value may, for example, be in a range of +/- 4 degrees crank angle before TDC, preferably in a range of +/- 2 degrees crank angle before TDC with respect to setting the combustion parameter ignition timing.
    The predefinable target value may be a global value that applies to all cylinders of the internal combustion engine.
    The predetermined target value with respect to the setting of the ignition timing as the combustion parameter may be the global target value for the ignition timing in the cylinders of a stationary gas engine. The predefinable target value can be derived from a Zündzeitpunktkennfeld. In the Zündzeitpunktkennfeld suitable values for the ignition timing depending on the power and / or the charge air pressure and / or the charge air temperature and / or the engine speed of the internal combustion engine stored 12/40 12 * * * # * »· I • · · ··· * · ···· ·· ··· be. The values stored in the ignition timing map can be determined on a test bench.
    The predetermined target value with respect to adjusting the fuel quantity as the combustion parameter may be an engine global basic value for the opening durations of fuel metering valves or gas injection valves for the cylinders of a stationary gas engine.
    In principle, it is possible to distinguish between air-guided and fuel-guided combustion processes in the case of combustion processes used in internal combustion engines. In the case of an air-guided combustion method, for example, a quantity of fuel to be metered is determined as a function of the operating point of the internal combustion engine and a predefinable target value for the fuel-air ratio in order to obtain a specific emission quantity or a specific charge air pressure. The engine controls used usually include an emission regulator. In a fuel-guided or gas-fired combustion process, a quantity of fuel to be metered is determined as a function of the operating point of the internal combustion engine and a predefinable target value for the power and / or the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine. Fuel-guided combustion processes have their application in particular in variable-speed operation of an internal combustion engine, in an internal combustion engine in isolated operation, at engine start or during idling of the internal combustion engine. The motor controls used in this case usually include a power controller and / or a speed controller. For air-driven combustion processes in which, for example, an emission regulator is used, it can preferably be provided that the predefinable target value is determined from a predefinable fuel-air ratio, wherein preferably the predefinable fuel-air ratio from a power equivalent of the output power of the internal combustion engine , Preferably an electrical power of a generator connected to the internal combustion engine, and / or is determined from a charge air pressure and / or from an engine speed of the internal combustion engine. 13/40
    In the context of this invention, a power equivalent is understood to be the actual mechanical power of the internal combustion engine or a substitute variable corresponding to the mechanical power. This may be, for example, an electric power of a generator connected to the internal combustion engine, which is measured from the power output of the generator. It may also be a calculated mechanical power of the internal combustion engine, which is calculated from the engine speed and torque or from the electrical power of the generator and the efficiency of the generator. It may also be only about the engine speed, if the power consumption of the consumer is known exactly about the speed. Furthermore, the power equivalent may also be the indicated mean pressure, which can be determined from the in-cylinder pressure curve in a known manner, or the effective mean pressure, which can be calculated in a known manner from the torque delivered or from the electrical or mechanical power. In this case, a power equivalent of the internal combustion engine can be determined from the known relationship between effective mean pressure, the displacement of a cylinder and the work performed at a power stroke.
    The predefinable fuel-air ratio can be determined in a conventional manner from the charge air pressure and the power of the internal combustion engine. Thus, the predefinable fuel-air ratio can be determined for a designed as a gas engine internal combustion engine, for example, according to EP 0 259 382 B1.
    The predefinable target value for the gas injection duration can be determined from the flow behavior of the gas injection valves and the boundary conditions (such as pressure and temperature of the fuel gas, intake manifold pressure or charge air pressure, respectively) prevailing at the gas injection valves. From the conditions in the intake manifold of the gas engine, in particular from charge air pressure and charge air temperature, the air mass equivalent (a value corresponding to the air mass) of the gas engine can be determined. With the predeterminable fuel-air ratio can be determined from the setpoint for the fuel gas mass. With the flow behavior of the gas injection valves and the 14 • m • · • ·
    Boundary conditions at the Gaseinblaseventilen then the required global opening time or Gaseinblasedauer be determined for the Gaseinblaseventile to introduce the previously determined fuel gas mass in the gas engine. This global gas injection duration corresponds in this example to the predefinable target value. For gas-fired combustion processes in which, for example, a power controller and / or a speed controller is used, it can be preferably provided that the predefinable target value as a function of the deviation of a power equivalent of the output power of the internal combustion engine from a predetermined target power equivalent and / or in dependence Deviation of an engine speed of the internal combustion engine is determined by a predetermined target speed of the internal combustion engine.
    In this case, a power regulator can be provided which, depending on the deviation of a current power equivalent of the output power (actual power) of the internal combustion engine (eg a measured electric power of a generator connected to the internal combustion engine) from the predetermined target power equivalent (target power) of the internal combustion engine, a global motor default value for the fuel mass flow determined. Alternatively or additionally, a speed controller may be provided which determines a motor global default value for the fuel mass flow as a function of the deviation of a current engine speed (actual speed) of the internal combustion engine from the predefinable target speed (target speed) of the internal combustion engine. From the determined target value for the fuel mass flow, the predefinable target value - e.g. for the global engine opening time of fuel metering valves or for the engine global default value for the ignition timing of ignition devices.
    A particular embodiment variant provides that the cylinder-specific difference value contains a cylinder-specific precontrol value, the cylinder-specific pilot control value preferably being determined from a charge air pressure and preferably additionally from a charge air temperature of the internal combustion engine. The cylinder-specific pre-control values can be calculated from measurements during the 15/40 • • • • • · • • •
    Commissioning of the internal combustion engine originate and for example also be used as fallback values for the case that a sensor for detecting the individual cylinder signal fails or is disturbed.
    The cylinder-individual precontrol values can take into account, for example, the gas dynamics in the intake manifold and / or in the gas rail of a gas engine as well as corresponding component tolerances, wherein the gas dynamics can be determined by simulations or measurements. The gas dynamics and the effects of component tolerances are influenced inter alia by the charge air pressure, the engine speed and the charge air temperature. It is therefore advantageous to derive suitable cylinder-specific precontrol values from a characteristic map which contains corresponding values for different charge air pressures and charge air temperatures. Thus, upon commissioning of the gas engine corresponding measurement data can be detected or corresponding maps are determined by experiments or simulations. It is also possible that an adaptive map is generated by online measurements during operation of the gas engine.
    It has proved to be particularly advantageous when the cylinder-specific difference value is subjected to a compensation value, the compensation value corresponding to the arithmetic mean value of the cylinder-specific difference values. This is particularly advantageous in order to install or retrofit the proposed solution in internal combustion engines, which were previously operated without cylinder equalization or only with a global controller. By means of such a correction of the cylinder-specific difference values, it can be achieved, in particular, that a globally metered quantity of fuel is not influenced by the proposed solution and that an optionally existing global emission control of the internal combustion engine does not have to be adapted. Since the values for the respective ignition times can also be incorporated into a global engine control system, by correcting the cylinder-specific difference values, also with respect to the setting of the ignition timing, an undesirable effect on the global engine control can be avoided. 16/40
    In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that a combustion state is monitored for each cylinder and evaluated as normal or abnormal with respect to a predeterminable desired state, the combustion parameter of a cylinder being adjusted only if the combustion state of the cylinder is judged to be normal. In this case, knocking and / or glow ignition and / or exposure to combustion can be monitored as a combustion state, whereby the combustion state of a cylinder is assessed as normal, if no knocking and / or no glow ignition and / or no exposure to combustion are detected. It may also be contemplated that for cylinders having abnormal combustion conditions or thermo-mechanical limit violations due to combustion, the cylinder-individual cylinder setpoints are adjusted to counteract the abnormal combustion conditions or to direct the affected cylinder to an operating point that is farther away from the thermo-mechanical limits. For example, in a cylinder having abnormal combustion (e.g., knocking, glowing, exceeding a peak pressure limit), the injection period of the fuel metering valve associated with the cylinder may not be lengthened or shortened as necessary. Likewise, for example, be provided that in a cylinder with intermittent combustion, the injection duration is not shortened or even extended.
    In general, it can also be provided that, in addition to a control with respect to a cylinder-specific first cylinder signal, by adjusting a first combustion parameter, additional control with respect to a further cylinder-specific cylinder signal is achieved by setting a further combustion parameter. Thus, for example, it may be provided that the proposed method is carried out with respect to the maximum cylinder internal pressure as a cylinder-specific first cylinder signal and with respect to the amount of fuel as a combustion parameter, wherein at the same time a cylinder-individual control of the combustion parameter ignition timing is dependent on the cylinder-specific combustion focus position. It can be provided that the respective ignition timing is set as a function of the deviation of the cylinder-specific combustion center point position from a predefinable center of gravity position value. The specifiable center of gravity position value may be a global center of gravity value value - that is, valid for all cylinders of the internal combustion engine.

    1 shows, by way of example, the cylinder efficiencies r | cyi of two cylinders 2 of an internal combustion engine 1 (see FIG. 3) as a function of their respective NOx emissions Ecyi and desired and to be achieved with the proposed method. • · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · , ····· Μ «· ··· 18
    Target values for the NOx emissions Ecyi 'and for the cylinder efficiency ricyi' of all cylinders 2.
    The course of a cylinder efficiency η 1 to be achieved has a non-linear dependence on the respective NO x emission Ecyi of the corresponding cylinder 2. The shown different NOx emissions E ^ i and the respective respective different cylinder efficiencies r | cyi of the cylinders can be caused in particular by cylinder-specific differences of cylinder parameters - such as different air fillings, deposits and wear, combustion focus positions or mechanical tolerances of the cylinders 2.
    By the proposed method, these cylinder-specific different cylinder parameters can be taken into account by setting for each cylinder 2 a cylinder-specific desired cylinder value pmax 'for a first cylinder signal pmax and depending on the deviation of the first cylinder signal pmax from the cylinder setpoint pmax' a combustion parameter Q of the cylinder 2 (eg the amount of fuel supplied to a cylinder) is adjusted, wherein the first cylinder signal pmax is tracked to the cylinder setpoint pmax '(see FIG. 2). In particular, the cylinder-specific cylinder setpoint values pmax 'of the cylinders 2 can be adjusted such that the cylinder-specific NOx emissions Ecyi' or cylinder efficiencies ricyi 'of all cylinders 2 to be achieved are within a predefinable range or are essentially the same. Overall, by taking into account the cylinder-specific differences of cylinder parameters, it is possible to achieve an increased overall efficiency across all cylinders 2 than without such consideration.

The cylinder-specific first cylinder signals pmax are the respective maximum in-cylinder pressure pmax of the corresponding cylinder 2, which was detected via a respective combustion cycle of the corresponding cylinder 2. By cylinder individual differences in 19/40
    Cylinder parameters such as air filling or combustion properties result in fundamentally different courses of the first cylinder signals pmax. The proposed method now proposes to set or set a cylinder-specific desired cylinder value pmax 'for each cylinder 2, wherein the respective first cylinder signal pmax is tracked to the corresponding desired cylinder value pmax'. As a result, it can be achieved, for example, that, despite different cylinder properties or cylinder parameters, the respective NOx emission Ecyi of the cylinders 2 and the cylinder efficiencies r | cyi of the cylinders 2 dependent thereon have substantially identical or similar values and, overall, an increased overall efficiency across all cylinders As shown in the figure, the individual first cylinder signals pmax are tracked to the respective cylinder-specific desired cylinder values pmax 'from a time ti at which a control according to the proposed method takes place ,
    The respective nominal cylinder values pmax 'in the example shown are composed of the arithmetic mean pmean of the maximum internal cylinder pressures pmax of all cylinders 2 and a cylinder-specific offset Am. In the respective offsets Am, the cylinder-specific differences in the cylinder parameters (for example air mass equivalent, combustion center position, compression ratio, ignition delay) are taken into account.
    FIG. 3 shows an internal combustion engine 1 with three cylinders 2. A cylinder pressure sensor 4 is arranged on each cylinder 2 in order to detect a cylinder-specific first cylinder signal. The cylinder-specific first cylinder signal may be the time profile of the cylinder internal pressure or the maximum cylinder internal pressure pmax over a combustion cycle. The cylinder-specific first cylinder signal may also be a time-filtered signal of the maximum cylinder pressure pmax over a plurality of combustion cycles, for example over 10 to 1000 combustion cycles, preferably 40 to 100 combustion cycles. The detected cylinder-specific first cylinder signal pmax of a cylinder 2 is fed via a signal line 14 to a control device 7,
    wherein the determination of the maximum cylinder internal pressure pmax over a combustion cycle or the temporal filtering of the maximum cylinder internal pressure Pmax over a plurality of combustion cycles can also be effected by the control device 7.
    As described below, a fuel quantity Q to be metered individually for each cylinder is determined by the control device 7 according to the proposed method as a combustion parameter for the cylinders 2 and reported to corresponding fuel metering valves 3 by means of control lines 15. By means of the fuel metering valves 3, the corresponding cylinder-specific fuel quantities Q are metered into the cylinders 2 and thus the cylinder-specific first cylinder signals pmax are tracked according to the proposed method by the cylinder-specific cylinder target values pmax 'formed by the control device 7.
    4 shows a schematic block diagram of three cylinders 2 of an internal combustion engine 1 with an air-guided combustion process. Each cylinder 2 is assigned a fuel metering valve 3, wherein the fuel quantity Q supplied to the corresponding cylinder 2 can be adjusted by the respective fuel metering valve 3. A control device 7 controls the fuel metering valves 3, in that the control device 7 outputs a respective cylinder-specific opening duration of the fuel metering valve 3 in the form of a cylinder-specific parameter value tcyi.
    The Brennstoffdosierventile 3 are executed in this example as a port injection valves, which know only a fully open and a fully closed position. When the fuel metering valve 3 is fully open, a fuel in the form of a propellant gas is injected into the inlet tract of the cylinder 2 assigned to the fuel metering valve 3. As a result of the opening duration of the fuel metering valve 3, the fuel quantity Q for the respective cylinder 2 can thus be established. 21/40
    From each cylinder 2, a cylinder-specific first cylinder signal pmax is detected and fed to the control device 7. A cylinder-specific first cylinder signal pmax corresponds to the maximum cylinder internal pressure of the corresponding cylinder 2 during a combustion cycle. In the example shown, the cylinder-specific first cylinder signals pmax are fed to a difference value calculation 8 of the control device 7. The difference value calculation 8 determines a difference value Atcyi for each cylinder 2 or for each fuel metering valve 3, which is added to a predefinable target value tg, resulting in a cylinder-specific opening duration for each fuel metering valve 3 as a parameter value tcyi.
    The specifiable engine global target value tg is determined in the example shown from a predeterminable fuel-air ratio λ, wherein the predetermined fuel-air ratio λ by an emission regulator 5a from a power equivalent P of the output power of the internal combustion engine 1 (eg, a measured electric power of a with the internal combustion engine 1 connected generator) and / or from a charge air pressure Pa and / or from an engine speed n of the internal combustion engine 1 is determined. In addition to the fuel-air ratio λ can in a target value calculation 6 additionally the pressure pA and the temperature Ta of the charge air, the pressure pc and and the temperature Tg of the fuel supply and the engine speed n of the internal combustion engine 1 flow. Moreover, a flow characteristic of the fuel metering valves 3 (e.g., effective flow diameter according to the polytropic outflow equation or a Kv value) and characteristics of the fuel gas (e.g., gas density, polytropic exponent, or calorific value) may be included in the target value calculation 6. From this, the target value calculation 6 determines the predefinable target value tg, which corresponds to an engine-global opening duration basic value for the opening durations of all fuel metering valves 3.
    The difference value calculation 8 is used to determine a cylinder-specific opening duration offset or difference value Atcyi for each individual fuel metering valve 3. These cylinder-specific difference values Atcyi are dependent on the deviation of the peak cylinder pressure pmax of the respective cylinder 2 from the respective cylinder-specific cylinder setpoint pmax '. The respective sum of engine-global opening duration basic value tg and cylinder-specific opening duration offset At ^ i results in the target opening duration tcyi commanded to the driver electronics of the respective fuel metering valve 3.
    Alternatively or additionally to the use of the maximum cylinder pressure pmax as a cylinder-specific first cylinder signal, the use of the respective cylinder-specific cylinder exhaust temperature TE is also indicated by dashed lines.
    In this case, cylinder-specific opening duration offsets Atcyi can in turn be calculated from the deviations of the cylinder-specific cylinder exhaust temperatures TE to a respective cylinder-specific cylinder setpoint for the cylinder exhaust gas temperature. The cylinder-specific cylinder exhaust temperatures TE can be used, for example, as an alternative if no in-cylinder pressure sensors 4 are installed or as a fallback solution when cylinder pressure signals fail to increase the availability of the internal combustion engine 1 in the event of a cylinder pressure sensor failure.
    FIG. 5 shows a block diagram according to FIG. 4, in which case the internal combustion engine 1 is operated with a gas-guided combustion process. The predefinable global engine target value tg is determined in the example shown by a controller 5b, which may include a power controller and / or a speed controller. In addition to a power equivalent P of the output power of the internal combustion engine 1 (actual power), a predefinable target power equivalent Ps (nominal power) of the internal combustion engine 1 can serve as input variables for the power controller, and a specifiable engine speed 1 (actual speed) of the internal combustion engine 1 can be specified for the speed controller in addition to a respective current engine speed n Target speed n $ (target speed) of the internal combustion engine 1 serve as input. In the controller 5b, a global motor default value for the fuel mass flow m is determined, from which subsequently in a target value calculation 6 the predefinable global engine target value tg - e.g. for the global engine opening time of fuel metering valves or for the engine global default value for the ignition timing of ignition devices. 23 (i · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · * * * · · * *

    FIG. 6 shows a block diagram according to FIG. 4, the control device 7 and the difference value calculation 8 being shown in more detail. This illustration shows the control sequence for only one cylinder 2 of the internal combustion engine 1 in detail. Further cylinders 2 of the internal combustion engine 1 are indicated by dashed lines.
    In each cylinder 2, a cylinder internal pressure sensor 4 is arranged. A cylinder internal pressure sensor 4 can detect the course of the cylinder internal pressure pcyi over a combustion cycle. A maximum value detection 9 can determine the maximum in-cylinder pressure pmax or peak pressure of the respective cylinder 2 in the preceding combustion cycle.
    The peak pressures of all cylinders 2 are supplied as cylinder-specific first cylinder signals pmax to a mean value calculation 10. In the example shown, this mean value calculation 10 forms the arithmetic mean value pmean from the cylinder-specific first cylinder signals pmax and outputs it. In addition, in an offset calculation 18, a cylinder-specific offset Am is calculated and output. In the example shown, the sum of the arithmetic mean pmean of the cylinder-specific first cylinder signals pmax of all cylinders 2 and the cylinder-specific offset Am forms the cylinder-specific desired cylinder value pmax ', which is supplied to a setpoint controller 11.
    In the example shown, the cylinder-specific offset Am is calculated in an offset calculation 18 from the internal cylinder pressure in the corresponding cylinder 2 before ignition pcyi '(after closing an inlet valve assigned to the cylinder 2 during the compression stroke) and from the combustion center position of the cylinder 2. In this case, the cylinder internal pressure before ignition pcyi 'either directly from the time course of the cylinder internal pressure signal pcyi be determined by a corresponding pressure calculation 19 or calculated from a load-dependent pressure determination map 20. The pressure determination map 20 may contain corresponding values of the cylinder internal pressure before ignition pcyi ', which depend on the 24/40 24 24 i <: i • · · · M ··· · · · · ci • * · · · · · ·· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · »»
    Load and / or the charge air pressure pA and / or the charge air temperature TA and / or the engine speed n of the internal combustion engine 1 are. The selection of the source for the value of the cylinder internal pressure before ignition pcyi 'is carried out by a pressure source switch 22. The determination of the combustion center position of the respective cylinder 2 takes place in a center of gravity determination 21 in a known manner from the time course of the cylinder internal pressure signal pcyi.
    In general, the cylinder-specific offset Am can be determined as a function of at least one of the following cylinder-specific cylinder parameters: air mass equivalent, combustion center position, compression ratio, ignition delay. The determination of the cylinder-specific offset Am can be based on deviations of at least one respective cylinder parameter from the mean value of this cylinder parameter across all cylinders 2.
    In the setpoint controller 11, the deviation of the first cylinder signal pmax of a cylinder 2 from the corresponding desired cylinder value pmax 'is determined and subsequently a difference value Atcyi for the Brennstoffdosierventil 3, which is assigned to the cylinder 2, determined.
    The respective difference value Atcyi for a Brennstoffdosierventil 3, which is associated with the respective cylinder 2, is thereby added to a motor global, predetermined target value tg, resulting in an opening period for the Brennstoffdosierventil 3 as a parameter value tcyi. The predefinable target value tg is determined, as described in FIG. 4, from an emission regulator of the internal combustion engine 1. In principle, it can also be determined from a power controller and / or from a speed controller (as described in FIG. 5) of the internal combustion engine 1.
    In the example shown, the respective difference value Atcyi comprises a cylinder-specific precontrol value tp, which is determined by a precontrol value calculation 12 from the charge air pressure pA and / or the charge air temperature TA and / or the engine speed n of the internal combustion engine 1. This respective pilot control value tp can be determined, for example, by measurements during startup of the internal combustion engine 1 and stored in a map. 25/40 25 25 • ♦: ϊ • · • · * · &lt; • i «• · ··
    In general, the setpoint controller 11 can be executed, for example, as a P, PI or PID controller. However, other controller concepts and controller types are also replaceable, such as LQ controllers, robust controllers or fuzzy controllers.
    In order to avoid undesired effects on the global engine control and in particular on the emission regulator 5a, the difference values Atcyi are each additionally additionally loaded with a compensation value to from a compensation value calculation 13. This equalization value t0, which is the same for all difference values Atcyi, corresponds to the arithmetic mean value of the difference values Atcyi of all cylinders 2 and may be positive or negative. Overall, it is thus possible to retrofit the proposed method even with internal combustion engines 1, which were previously operated without cylinder equalization or only with a global controller, without this additional regulation has an effect on the global engine control.
    FIG. 7 shows a schematic block diagram similar to FIG. 4, but with the illustrated embodiment of the invention, not the fuel quantities Q for the cylinders 2 but the ignition times Z of ignition devices 23 arranged on or in the cylinders 2 are set. The globally definable target value tg (global default value) for the ignition time Z is determined from an ignition timing map 16, wherein in Zündzeitpunktkennfeld 16 suitable values for the global default value tg depending on the power or the power equivalent P and / or the charge air pressure pA and / or the charge air temperature TA and / or the engine speed n of the internal combustion engine 1 are stored. The respective parameter value tcyi determined by the control device 7, expressed as the degree of crank angle before TDC, is reported to an ignition controller 17. In this example, the ignition timing Z of a cylinder 2 is adjusted earlier than the global default value tg if the cylinder peak pressure pmax of the cylinder 2 (first cylinder signal) is smaller than the cylinder nominal value pmax ' and the ignition timing Z of a cylinder 2 is set later than the global target value tg if the cylinder peak pressure pmax of the cylinder 2 is greater than the cylinder target value pmaX '. 26/40 26 • · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·

    Fig. 8 shows a schematic block diagram of another embodiment of the invention similar to Fig. 6, but not the fuel quantities Q are set for the cylinder 2 but the ignition Z of arranged on or in the cylinders 2 igniters 23. In this example, the nitrogen oxide emissions Ecyi of a cylinder 2 are detected by a NO x sensor 24 over a combustion cycle and supplied to an evaluation unit 25. The evaluation unit 25 determines from the time profile of the nitrogen oxide emissions Ecyi via a combustion cycle a filtered emission value, which is supplied as a cylinder-specific signal E to the setpoint calculation 10. From the cylinder-specific signals E of all cylinders 2, the setpoint calculation 10 forms the median Emesan and outputs this. In addition, in an offset calculation 18, a cylinder-specific offset Am is calculated and output. In the example shown, the sum of the median emedian and the cylinder-specific offset Am forms the cylinder-specific cylinder nominal value E ', which is reported to a setpoint controller 11.
    In the example shown, the cylinder-specific offset Am is determined in an offset calculation 18 by reading out a difference value map 26 in which suitable values of the offsets Am for the corresponding cylinder 2 depend on the power P and / or the charge air pressure Pa and / or the charge air temperature TA and / or the engine speed n of the internal combustion engine 1 are stored. The values stored in the difference value map 26 for the cylinder-specific offsets on the cylinder 2 were determined on a test bench.
    In the setpoint controller 11, the deviation of the cylinder-specific signal E from the cylinder setpoint value E 'is determined and, depending on this, a difference value Atcyi is determined for the ignition time Z of an ignition device Z associated with the corresponding cylinder 2. The respective difference value Atcyi is thereby added to an engine-global, predefinable target value tg, which results in an ignition timing Z in degrees crank angle before TDC as parameter value tcyi, which is reported to an ignition control 17, the ignition control 17 being 27/40 27
    Ignition timing Z activates the ignition device 23 (e.g., a spark plug). The predefinable target value tg is determined from an ignition timing map 16, as described in FIG.
