Zusammenfassung

Natural gas offers some advantages compared to diesel fuel: reducing operational costs and at the same time respecting tight emission regulations without complex exhaust gas aftertreatment systems. While lean burn gas engines are already widely used for stationary applications, there is a strong motivation to develop high-bmep gas engines for demanding applications such as marine propulsion, off-highway traction, compressor drive, etc. In order to satisfy the specific application characteristics such as highly dynamic engine performance and a wide operation map, new engine control concepts need to be developed to respond to these requirements and mitigate specific gas engine challenges such as knocking combustion.
