Model-based fault detection and diagnosis for diesel engines

Due to the increasing complexity of diesel engines with more and more electrical and electronic components and sophisticated control strategies, automatic fault detection and diagnosis is becoming increasingly important. Within the scope of the FVV project “Model-Based Fault Detection and Diagnosis for Diesel Engines” at the Institute of Automatic Control, Darmstadt University of Technology, new model-based methods for monitoring the intake system, the injection, the combustion and the exhaust system have been developed.
