Resumen
In this article, to meet the requirements of marine engine room simulator on both the simulation speed and simulation accuracy, a mean value engine model (MVEM) for the 7S80ME-C9.2 marine two-stroke diesel engine was developed and validated in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. In consideration of the significant influence of turbocharger compressor on both the engine steady state performance and transient response, a novel compressor model (mass flow rate and isentropic efficiency model) based on a previous study carried out by the first author was proposed with the aim of achieving satisfactory simulation accuracy within the whole engine operating envelope. The predictive and extrapolative capability of the proposed compressor model was validated by carrying out simulation experiments and analyzing the simulation results under steady state condition and during transient process. To make the traditional MVEM capable of predicting in-cylinder pressure trace, the cylinder pressure analytic model proposed by Eriksson and Andersson for the four-stroke SI (spark ignition) engine was adapted to the 7S80ME-C9.2 marine two-stroke diesel engine based on the characteristic of in-cylinder pressure trace of this type of engine and then coupled to the MVEM developed in this paper. Since there is no need to solve any differential equation as it is done in the 0-D model, the advantage of MVEM in running speed is not impaired. For achieving satisfactory simulation accuracy by using the analytic model, the model parameters were calibrated elaborately by using engine measured data and a 0-D model and the relevant tuning procedure was discussed in detail.
