Chemical activity inside a three-way catalytic converter (TWC) is highly complex and usually is not taken into account when developing TWC control-oriented models. Such models still remain to a large extent empirical and do not perform satisfactorily under a wider range of operating conditions. This work demonstrates how a very simple model, based on the basic chemical processes that take place inside the catalytic converter, can successfully capture a large part of the strongly non-linear TWC dynamic behaviour. The proposed model is based on the reactions of ceria oxidation and carbon monoxide oxidation, which appear to dominate the fast dynamics of oxygen storage and release respectively. In addition, the water-gas shift reaction is incorporated into the model, which is responsible for the slower dynamic response of the catalyst under rich operating conditions. With some mild assumptions, a discrete-time version of the model was implemented in MATLAB. The model is sufficiently simple in structure for in-vehicle use and can be used for control and on-board diagnostic purposes.
