TSFS09 Modelling and Control of Engines and Drivelines, 6 ECTS credits.
/Modellering och reglering av motorer och drivlinor/

For:   D   M   Y  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 63
Rec. self-study hours: 97

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
To understand automotive control systems used for vehicle propulsion, and have the basics for developing future vehicular systems. The student should after the course:
  • have knowledge about the systems and components that are important for the propulsion of a road vehicle.
  • have knowledge about the operating principles of engines and powertrains.
  • be able to explain and analyze the limiting factors for engine performance and control performance.
  • be able to describe and implement the most important control loops for air, fuel injection and ignition in todays engine control systems for both gasoline and diesel engines.
  • be able to define and explain the emissions from combustion engines and the factors they depend upon.
  • be able to design and build control oriented models for an engine and its components as well as a driveline and its components.
  • have experience of planning, executing and evaluating engine laboratory experiments.
  • have experience of evaluating and assessing model quality based on both system properties and measurement data.
  • have experience of planning and synthesizing control algorithms for automotive engines and powertrains.
  • be able to define and describe concepts and basic functionality in an engines diagnosis and supervision system.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Engineering Mechanics, Automatic Control and Matlab

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
Vehicle Propulsion Systems

Organisation:
The course is organized in lectures, problem solving and project tasks.
The course runs over the entire autumn semester.


Course contents:
  • Introduction on engines and thermodynamics.
  • Modeling of engines with a controls perspective.
  • Engine control including air control, lambda control, ignition control, knock control and turbo control.
  • Longitudial vehicle dynamics with air drag and rolling resistance.
  • Driveline control including active damping and gear shift control.
  • Diagnosis and supervision.
