ADVANCED CONTROL OF A VEHICLE THERMAL MANAGEMENT DEMONSTRATORSemenič, Tilen (Avtor) Župerl, Uroš (Mentor) Rodič, Miran (Mentor) Horvat, Damir (Komentor) thermal managementcontrolsupervisionrapid control prototypingvehiclescontrol prototypesWithin the AVL LIST GmbH a demonstration system of generic engine cooling circuit, using the computer cooling components for testing different vehicle thermal management advanced control strategies has been made. The master’s thesis includes the integration of a prototype control unit into the demonstration system, which enables to develop, optimize and test new control strategies in real-time and environment. The build-in components that assemble the demonstrator system are connected in a representative sequence, as well as a prototype control unit that allows the system to be operated. The second part of the master's thesis is the creation of a system control model in the MATLAB®/Simulink® software environment, as well as the creation of a visualization model using the ControlDesk software environment from dSPACE GmbH. The third part of the thesis contains the implementation of various control strategies and their impact on the demonstration system. A comparison of the results between different control strategies is shown in the last chapter.[T. Semenič]20212021-06-09 07:17:57Magistrsko delo/naloga79289sl
