The research on a PC-based simulation of diesel engine propulsion system

At present, most of marine engine room simulators (MERS) in the world are based on networking technology. But such MERS needs much money and large space to install and use. So it can not meet the demand of the training individually in spare time for the crew. So a simulation system of a PC-Based marine diesel engine has been proposed. In this paper, a quasi steady state model of a large low-speed two-stroke marine diesel engine is established. At the same time, the systems of main engine control, compressed air, cooling water and etc are also developed in the simulation system. The model is a modularized structure and the modules describing enginepsilas components can be added to it easily. The simulation results show the simulation model could reflect the characteristics of the diesel engine accurately. And related auxiliary systems of marine diesel engine are also established in this simulation system.
