Objective
The LIFETIME project considers the problem of large marine engine performance degradation and emissions increase in time. This problem is compounded by the fact that a conventional marine engine has optimum matching fixed at a certain operating regime. The target of the project is to develop control systems able to optimise engine performance with the emissions level as an optimisation constraint. A series of systematic shipboard measurements and test bed experiments, followed by detailed simulations of power plant operation, will allow the development of new control schemes, which will be implemented in engine control systems. These will be installed on board a ship with an intelligent engine and also a ship with ultra-large bore engine. Moreover, a performance/emissions observer system based on the same technology will be installed on board a ship with conventional engine. Systems functionality will be examined by full-scale sea passage tests.
