Objective - Build a Better Military Diesel
Fuel is expensive to deliver to forward locations
Logistics “tail” limits operational effectiveness
Resupplying fuel exposes troops to additional risk

Model-in-the-Loop (MiL) Controller Dev.
• MATLAB/Simulink used as dynamic modeling environment
• Simulink called WAVE as the “plant model”
• Looked at response to step changes in load
Simulink
• Used response to tune constants with Ricardo “no‐lag” tuning algorithm
• Fit constants over a range of speed and fueling rate
• Adaptive control (i.e., gain scheduling) via lookup tables

Conclusions
1.
AMD45 engine development was achieved using:
– High‐fidelity modeling and simulation tools
– Commercially available (common) parts
– Integration of design features for non‐common parts
2.
The engine has been tested and achieves all significant performance criteria necessary for the 30 kWe generator:
–
–
–
–
Maximum operating speed: 4500 RPM
Maximum power: 47.1 kWs (to date)
Fuel consumption: 3.2 gal/hr at 41.2 kWs
Weight: 196 lb
3. Modern CAE tools can significantly shorten the learning curve for development of a new engine platform from “blank sheet” concept to real hardware
