Name : Soo-Youl Park Title : Development of mean value engine model using ANN Objective : To develop a fast-running engine

model with sufficient accuracy over wide range of operating conditions Motivation : In case of automotive engine simulation model, there are two requirements. First, it has high accuracy, second, it should run fast. Especially demands for fast running model become increasing. Modern engines have sophisticated control device so that the engine model and control model should be connected to each other and both engine simulation and control simulation should be performed simultaneously. Furthermore, for the application of HIL(Hardware in the loop), the engine model should run at real time.(In case of 2000 rpm of engine operating, actual time for one engine cycle is 0.06s, but calculation time for one cycle with typical engine model is 120s, which is 2000 times more than real time.) The engine simulation is a kind of physical simulation which calculates the gas dynamics, combustion phenomena and chemical reaction within the engine. Therefore, in order to guarantee high accuracy results, the model should be complicated. It means that these two requirements, higher accuracy and fast running, conflict with each other. However, recent researches show that this conflicting problem can be solved by applying ANN to the engine model and this engine model supported by ANN is called as mean value engine model. In this study, I will show the methodology how to build this mean value engine model by minimizing sacrifice of accuracy of results. Approach : With commercial engine simulation software, detailed engine model will be developed. Based on this model, the model regression will be done by applying ANN. This work will be composed of following steps (1) Identify important variables which can represent the results; (2) Conduct simulations using a detailed engine model, and train neural networks with simulation results; (3) Build a mean value engine model using trained neural networks; Reference : He, Y., Development and Validation of a Mean Value Engine Model for Integrated Engine and Control System, SAE Paper 2007-01-1304, 2007.
