Fast Running 1D model of a heavy-duty diesel engine

Abstract

This thesis deals with creation of one-dimensional (1D) Fast Running Model (FRM) for a heavy-duty diesel engine for the purpose of Hardware-in-the Loop (HiL) virtual testing. The FRM was created from a detailed model of a Volvo Penta D13 engine. Investigation of the effects of different calibration practices was carried out on the sub-system level. The conversion procedure and the best calibration practices are presented in detail. The obtained FRM reached real-time while running on the HiL VIRtual TEst Cell (VIRTEC) at Volvo Penta, while yielding satisfactory results for engine performance.
