(Alippi C et al. 2003) & (Shi Yanran et al. 2014)) established BP and RBF air-fuel ratio neural network prediction models, and used Newton iteration method to optimize cycle fuel injection quantity in real time. Compared with the PID control algorithm, it improved the response and reduced the air-fuel ratio overshoot under different working conditions. The basis of neural network predictive control is to achieve accurate multistep prediction of the controlled variable. For the two-stage turbocharging system, neural network can fully reflect the influence of multi-parameters on boost pressure due to its good nonlinear approximation ability.

In this paper, a neural network boost pressure prediction model is studied for an in-line six-cylinder diesel engine equipped with an adjustable two-stage turbocharger. The boost pressure of the two-stage turbocharging system is affected by multiple parameters, such as the cycle fuel injection quantity and turbine bypass valve opening, with strong nonlinear relationship between the inputs and output. So the dynamic neural network prediction model of the boost pressure is designed for the two-stage turbocharging system covering all working conditions, and the influence of the number of different hidden layer nodes on the pressureprediction model accuracy of the turbocharging system is compared. When the number of hidden layer nodes is 15, MAPE can reach 3.52%. Then the verification simulation of the neural network prediction model is carried out, where the MAPE of the verification data is 3.98%. At last, the multistep prediction of boost pressure is simulated and analysed. The prediction error in 50-step prediction time domain is within 0.05 bar, indicating that the established neural network boost pressure prediction model has high multistep prediction accuracy.

Fig.1. Two-stage turbocharging system with bypass valve 3. ANALYSIS OF FACTORS AFFECTING BOOST PRESSURE IN DYNAMIC WORKING CONDITIONS The boost pressure is directly determined by the two-stage turbocharging system and the ambient pressure. The total pressure ratio of the two-stage turbocharging system is affected by the exhaust energy and the turbine bypass valve opening, and the exhaust energy is affected by the cycle fuel injection quantity and engine speed. Therefore, it can be concluded that the boost pressure is related to the turbine bypass valve opening, the cycle fuel injection quantity, the engine speed, and the environmental pressure. Since the actual engine speed is often controlled through the adjustment of the cycle fuel injection quantity, this paper focuses on the influence of the turbine bypass valve opening and the cycle fuel injection quantity on the boost pressure. The simulation research on its influence law is carried out based on the co-simulation platform which is shown in Fig.2. The co-simulation platform includes six-cylinder diesel engine model in GT-POWER and the control model in Simulink (see (Xia Meng et al. 2016)). The MATLAB/Simulink model is mainly used to control the high-pressure turbine bypass valve opening, the engine speed or torque, and the dynamometer; the GT-POWER model is mainly used to simulate the diesel engine dynamic operational condition. Under different simulation conditions, the cycle fuel injection quantity is calculated by the engine controller using the engine target speed or target toque based on the full-range or two-stage speed control strategy in the controller.

2. TWO-STAGE TURBOCHARGEING SYSTEM The research object of this paper is an in-line six-cylinder electronically controlled diesel engine with a two-stage adjustable turbocharger. The basic parameters of the diesel engine are shown in Table 1. The two-stage turbocharging system is shown in Fig.1. It consists of two exhaust gas turbochargers with series arrangement. The small turbocharger is used as high-pressure stage to increase the torque and dynamic performance of the engine at low speeds; while the large turbocharger is used as low-pressure stage to guarantee the boost demand of the engine at high speed and high load. A bypass valve is arranged near the high-pressure stage turbocharger in order to adjust the total flow area of the turbocharging system to distribute the exhaust energy between the high stage turbocharger and the low stage turbocharger. By doing this we can achieve continuous adjustment of the boost pressure and then adapt the engine boost pressure under different working conditions.

Using the co-simulation platform of the two-stage turbocharging diesel engine (see (Xia Meng et al. 2016)), the simulation of the dynamic influence of the bypass valve on boost pressure is carried out. The two-stage speed regulation mode is adopted on diesel engine, the throttle opening is kept constant, the diesel engine speed is controlled by the dynamometer to remain unchanged, and the target bypass valve opening in the turbocharging controller is given by an external step signal. In the simulation, the speed and the cycle fuel quantity of the diesel engine are remained to 1300r/min and 227mg, respectively, and the bypass valve opening decreases from 15°to 2°in 0.5s. The main simulation result is shown in Fig.3, where BVO, BP, HPTS represent bypass valve opening, boost pressure, high-stage turbine speed respectively.

result is shown in Fig.4, where BP, T, CFI represents boost pressure, engine torque, cycle fuel injection quantity respectively.

Fig.4 Simulation results of different change rate of the quantity of the fuel

It can be seen from Fig.4 that compared with the change of the cycle fuel quantity, the delay of the boost pressure change is about 150ms; when the change rate of the cycle fuel injection quantity is 70mg/s, the response time of the turbocharged pressure reaches 95% of the target value is about 4.2s. The response time increased by 0.5s and 1.8s, respectively, compared with that when the change rate of cycle fuel injection quantity is 35mg / s and 17.5mg/s. During the process of increasing the torque and remaining the speed unchanged of the diesel engine, increasing the change rate of the cycle fuel injection quantity within the air-fuel ratio limit can make the torque respond faster. Under the static engine speed condition, if increasing the cycle fuel injection quantity, the boost pressure will increase accordingly. Within the air-fuel ratio limitation range, the increase of the change rate of cycle fuel injection quantity can make the boost pressure respond faster. Therefore, for the case where the cycle fuel injection quantity changes fast, the influence of change rate of the cycle fuel injection quantity on the dynamic response of the boost pressure should be fully considered.

Fig.3 Simulation results of step change of the bypass valve It can be seen from Fig. 3 that at the 5th second, the bypass valve opening begins to change, and there is a 0.2s time delay in boost pressure response; at the 10th second, the boost pressure reaches 2.57bar, and the response time is approximately 5 seconds from the beginning to 95% bypass valve opening. The target boost pressure is increased by approximately 0.58 bar. Under step change of the bypass valve opening, the boost pressure shows a nonlinear trend that increases rapidly at first and then slowly. Therefore, in the dynamic modelling process of boost pressure, the influence of the bypass valve opening change on the dynamic response of the boost pressure should be considered.

3.2 Effect of cycle fuel injection quantity on boost pressure Using the established co-simulation model of the two-stage turbocharged diesel engine, the simulation of the dynamic influence of the cycle fuel injection quantity change on the boost pressure is carried out. The two-stage speed regulation mode is adopted for the diesel engine, where the engine speed is controlled by the dynamometer to remain unchanged, the target bypass valve opening in the supercharging controller is remained unchanged, and the diesel engine cycle fuel injection quantity is direct controlled by adjusting the throttle. In the simulation, the speed of the diesel engine is remained at 1300r/min, and the process of increasing the cycle fuel quantity is completed within 1s, 2s, and 4s, respectively. The corresponding rate change of the cycle fuel injection was 70 mg/s, 35 mg/s and 17.5 mg/s, respectively. The simulation 180

4.3 Data acquisition for neural network prediction model identification and verification

Series-Parallel Architecture

The identification and verification data in this paper are obtained by co-simulation of the GT-POWER diesel engine control model and the MATLAB/Simulink diesel engine control model, which are validated by experimental data. Xia.M described the detailed modeling methods and calibration (see (Xia Meng et al. 2016)). The data acquisition process is that engine target speed and load torque are used as inputs to the co-simulation model, and the engine controller is in the speed control mode, under which the PID control strategy is adopted, so the cycle fuel injection quantity is calculated by the engine speed control strategy. In order to cover the full dynamic condition of the engine, the turbine bypass valve opening is given by a pseudo-random signal, which satisfy the constraint at different engine speed. It can be seen from Fig.2 that the actual engine speed and boost pressure can be obtained by the GT-POWER model. So the cycle fuel injection quantity, turbine bypass valve opening and boost pressure can be obtained as the identification and verification data for the neural network prediction model.

Fig.5. Parallel and series-parallel architecture of NARXNN 4.2 Boost pressure prediction model based on neural network According to the simulation results of the third part, the boost pressure has a strong nonlinear relationship with the bypass valve and cycle fuel injection quantity, so the establishment of the boost pressure prediction model should consider the influence of these parameters comprehensively. Since there is delay in the bypass valve actuator and the boost pressure response, the bypass valve opening control signal should be correspondingly delayed in the neural network prediction model. There is also a certain delay between the cycle fuel injection quantity and the boost pressure response, so the control signal of the fuel quantity also should be delayed in the neural network prediction model. Considering that the dynamic process of boost pressure reflects the influence of the cycle fuel injection quantity, engine speed and turbine bypass valve opening, including the effect of multi parameters, so the boost pressure is delayed as the feedback for the prediction model, the series-parallel NARXNN prediction model is used to reflect the dynamic process of multi-parameter effect, realizing the real-time prediction of boost pressure, the architecture of the prediction model is shown in Fig.6, where m ,  , P represent cycle fuel injection quantity, turbine bypass valve opening and boost pressure respectively. And the transfer function of the hidden layer node uses hyperbolic tangent function, and the output activation uses linear function. It can be seen from the Fig.6 that the delay step of the bypass valve opening, cycle fuel injection quantity and boost pressure is 3, 3, 2 respectively.  and  indicates the threshold of the hidden layer nodes and the output layers respectively.

Due to the strong nonlinearity of the change of boost pressure during the dynamic process of diesel engine, the pseudo-random signal is adopted as the engine running condition. The main characteristic parameters of the pseudorandom signal include maximum amplitude, minimum amplitude, maximum interval time and minimum interval time during signal change process. The pseudo-random signal characteristic parameters of the engine, including target engine speed, load torque and turbine bypass valve opening are shown in Table 2. Co-simulation with simulation duration of 1000s is performed to acquire neural network identification and verification data. The sampling period is 10ms and the identification data is obtained by the first 700s co-simulation which includes 70,000 data points, and the verification data is obtained by the co-simulation of the last 300s which includes 30,000 data points.

5.1 Simulation verification of one- step boost pressure prediction based on neural network

As mentioned previously in section 3.2, the delayed step of the cycle fuel injection quantity and turbine bypass valve opening are 3 and the delayed step of the boost pressure delay is 2, so the choice of the number of hidden layer nodes affects the accuracy of the boost pressure prediction, the MAPE was used to calculate the accuracy of the prediction model. MAPE is shown in equation (2), where Ai is the actual output, Pi is the predicted output, i is time period, and N is the number of time periods.

The fourth part of this paper mainly establishes the NARXNN series-parallel architecture to realize one-step prediction of boost pressure, meanwhile the identification of neural network prediction model is carried out, and the number of hidden layer nodes is determined to be 15. In this section, the simulation verification of the identified neural network prediction model is carried out, the verification data is described in Section 3.3.1, which is derived from the data obtained by the co-simulation condition during the last 300s, and there are totally 30,000 sets of data points. The verification result is shown in Fig.9, the predicted boost pressure is highly consistent with the actual boost pressure, and the MAPE obtained from the verification data is 3.98%.

Since the number of input nodes is 8, the number of hidden layer nodes is 11~24 respectively based on experience(see(Shebani, A.et al. 2018)), and the MAPE under different number of hidden layer nodes was calculated and shown in Table 5, where the HLNN represents hidden layer nodes number.

It can be seen from Table 3 that the number of hidden layer nodes affects the accuracy of boost pressure prediction. When the number of hidden layer nodes is between 11 and 24, the prediction model can accurately predict the boost pressure, and the MAPE value is below 6.5%. When the number of hidden layer nodes is 15, the MAPE is 3.52%, reaching the minimum value; and when the number of hidden layer nodes is 12, the MAPE is 7.71% , reaching the maximum value, so 15 is adopted as the number of the hidden layer nodes. Fig.8 indicates the comparison between the actual boost pressure

5.2 Simulation verification of multi- step boost pressure prediction based on neural network When the prediction model is used for model predictive control, multi-step prediction of boost pressure is needed, and at this time, the input boost pressure of the prediction model can only be predicted value, so it is necessary to use the parallel architecture NARXNN for multistep prediction. The implementation process of multi-step prediction for boost pressure is shown in Fig. 10, since the weight matrix and the threshold matrix of the parallel architecture NARXNN model are the same as those of the series-parallel architecture, and during the process of multi-step prediction of boost pressure, the one-step predicted boost pressure will be used as the input of the prediction model to predict the next boost pressure. In this paper, the verification data is obtained from the cosimulation during the last 300s, a total of 30,000 sets of data points which is described in section 4.3.1 and used for the simulation study of boost pressure multistep prediction. In order to verify the multi-step boost pressure prediction at different prediction times, the multi-step boost pressure prediction is conducted on different nodes of the verification data in this paper and the node number 1500, 10500 and 20005 are adopted to carry out the multistep prediction of boost pressure. m(t  2), m(t)  (t  2),  (t) P(t  2), P(t  1)

Fig.10 Multistep prediction of boost pressure When the cycle fuel injection quantity and bypass valve opening are determined, the error of the multistep prediction of boost pressure increases with the increase of the one-step prediction error, and the accuracy of the boost pressure prediction value is the basis of the realization of model-based boost pressure prediction control algorithm, and the simulation of multistep prediction of boost pressure is studied, and the variation of multistep prediction error of boost pressure is obtained. The simulation results are shown in Fig. 11.

The comparison of multistep prediction values of the boost pressure at different verification data nodes number with actual values are shown in Fig.11. It can be seen from Fig. 11 that at different verification data nodes, as the number of boost pressure prediction steps increases, the boost pressure prediction error becomes larger. However, during 50 prediction steps, the prediction error is within 0.05bar which shows that the boost pressure prediction model also has high prediction accuracy during the multistep prediction of boost pressure; therefore, it can be used as the prediction model for model predictive control. 6. CONCLUSIONS This paper analyzed the influence of cycle fuel injection quantity and turbine bypass valve opening on the boost pressure based on the co-simulation model of GT-POWER and Matlab/Simulink, and the result indicates strong nonlinear characteristics. Therefore, the boost pressure prediction model based on NARXNN is established. The cycle fuel injection quantity, bypass valve opening and the current boost pressure are used as inputs to predict the future boost pressure. According to MAPE, the influence of the number of different hidden layer nodes on the prediction accuracy is compared. When the number of hidden layer nodes is 15, the MAPE reaches its minimum at 3.52%. Then the verification results reveals that the MAPE is 3.98%,

which indicates that the established boost pressure prediction model has high one-step prediction accuracy. Finally, the multistep prediction of boost pressure is simulated and analyzed based on the cycle fuel injection quantity and the turbine bypass valve opening results. The 50-step prediction error throughout the prediction period is within 0.05bar, indicating that the established neural network boost pressure prediction model has high multistep prediction accuracy. The establishment of the boost pressure prediction model can be applied to the design of model-based nonlinear predictive controller, which can simplify the calibration procedure of PID controller and improve the boost pressure control accuracy. The future research will focus on the design of boost pressure prediction controller and the determination of future cycle fuel injection. REFERENCES A Chasse, P Moulin, P Gautier. (2008).
