With evolving legislation demanding advanced State-of-Health (SoH), the automotive industry is on the brink of a revolution in improving the planning and time at vehicle workshops. Future regulations will require precise reporting of the State-of-Health (SoH) of critical engine components, ensuring optimal performance and safety. Join us in pioneering methodology for estimating the SoH and On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) of engine components. The mission is develop a sophisticated, physics-based mean-average/0-Dimensinsional engine model that simulates component degradation and seamlessly integrates with the engine control unit. You'll be working with a Volvo engine and expanding the model to encompass the degradation of vital engine components.

Content

Initially a literature study should be conducted in order to gain information and experience from previous work. The next steps are listed below:

• Getting familiar with gas exhange engine modelling
•  Start from a simplified model and expand the model to a Volvo engine
• Calibrate base engine model using test cell data
• Expand engine model to cover degradation/wear of engine components
• Calibrate the expanded engine model using test cell data
• Evaluate the model in simulation environment

• Thesis level: Master Thesis 30p
• Language: English
• Strong skills in modeling and control system
• Proficient in MATLAB/Simulink
• Knowledge about combustion engine is a plus
