Diesel $—$ Diesel engine with speed controller

This component describes a diesel engine with speed controller and inertia.

Implementation

The Diesel component uses a static characteristic curve of maximum torque as a function of speed. This relation is given by a polynomial:

$\mathrm{taumax}={w}^{3}{\mathrm{diesel}}_{3}+{w}^{2}{\mathrm{diesel}}_{2}+w{\mathrm{diesel}}_{1}+{\mathrm{diesel}}_{0}$

There is a simple speed controller implemented. The reference signal for this controller is given by:

$\mathrm{commandedSpeed}$ = 0 $\ge$ ${w}_{\mathrm{min}}$

$\mathrm{commandedSpeed}$ = 1 $\ge$ ${w}_{\mathrm{max}}$

To set the initial speed of the diesel engine use, the parameter wstart under the Inspector tab. Do not use the modifier Flywheel(w(start=100)) or connect the shaft rigidly to other inertias which have been assigned initial values because this may override the parameter wstart.

Limitations

This simple model does not describe the startup of a diesel engine.
