Modeling for Optimal Control: a Validated Diesel-electric Powertrain Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
An optimal control ready model of a diesel-electric powertrain is developed, validated and provided to the research community. The aim of the model is to facilitate studies of the transient control of diesel-electric powertrains and also to provide a model for developers of optimization tools. The resulting model is a four state three control mean value engine model that captures the significant nonlinearity of the diesel engine, while still being continuously differentiable.

متن کاملTime and Fuel Optimal Power Response of a Diesel-Electric Powertrain
Optimal control policies for a diesel-electric powertrain in transient operation are studied. In order to fully utilize the extra degree of freedom available in a diesel-electric powertrain, compared to a conventional powertrain, the engine-speed is allowed to vary freely. The considered transients are steps from idle to target power. A non-linear four state-three input mean value engine model,...
