Work Package 5: Lifetime Performance Control

Objectives

The objective is to secure optimized performance of the power plant throughout its lifetime.  The WP aims at developing technology demonstrators retaining an engine’s as-new performance, using optimized engine control. To this end, current state of the art and knowledge of engine controls shall be applied to iteratively develop, simulate and test prototypes to reach technology demonstrator levels TRL 6.

Establishing such concepts for two-stroke engines requires further development of the tribosystem, in particular of advanced (adaptive) lubrication monitoring systems, based on dedicated sensor technologies, as well as of a fully flexible lube oil injection system, involving also the generation of profound knowledge with regards to the development of a sophisticated tribosystem performance simulation tools.
