Clean Energy
Hybrid Power Generation for Improved Fuel Efficiency and Performance
Czero performed a system architecture study prior to beginning detailed design work to look at the benefits and tradeoffs of different design concepts. Four key design attributes were considered: constant vs. variable speed prime mover, permanent magnet vs. synchronous generator, number of engine-generator sets, and energy storage.
Modeling & Simulation
Improving System Design and Performance Through Globally Optimal Control
Dynamic programming (DP) is powerful analytical tool which yields significant benefits when applied to dynamic simulation models.
Systems Engineering
Rapid Iteration Optimization of Electromagnetic Actuator Design
The essential precursor to the process is clearly defining the performance targets, geometric constraints, and valve/actuator configuration for the application; this would be required for any design effort. Performance targets and relative priority will vary by application.
Modeling & Simulation
Hydraulic System Modeling
Hydraulic circuits are the life blood of many engineering applications including engine fuel systems, drivetrains, power transmission, and component actuation. Often these systems exhibit complex internal interactions while the pressure dynamics within the hydraulic circuit strongly influence the overall system's performance and stability/controllability.
Modeling & Simulation
Advanced MATLAB/Simulink Multi-Species/Multi-Phase Block Set
Modeling and Simulation (M&S) are an integral part of system and controls design in modern engineering. M&S tools allow engineers and designers to create virtual representations of systems, products, or processes and analyze their behavior under various conditions.
