Cylinder-by-Cylinder Diesel Engine Modelling-A Torque-based Approach
Continuously throughout the process of developing
Engine Control Units (ECU), the ECU and its control functions
need to be dimensioned and tested for the engine itself. Since
interaction between an ECU and a physical engine is both
expensive and inflexible, software models of the engine are often
used instead. One such test system, where an ECU interacts with
software models, is called Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL). This
thesis describes a model constructed to facilitate implementation
on a HiL testbed. The model, derived in Matlab/Simulink, is a
Cylinder-by-Cylinder Engine Model (CCEM) reconstructing the angle
synchronous torque of a diesel engine. To validate the model, it
has been parameterised for the DaimlerChrysler engine OM646, a
straight turbocharged four cylinder diesel engine, and tested
towards measured data from a Mercedes-Benz C220 test vehicle. Due
to hardware related problems, validation could only be performed
for low engine speeds where the model shows good results. Future
work around this theme ought to include further validation of the
model as well as implementation on HiL.
