GT Technical Webinar Series: Automated optimization of Two-phase compressor system in GT-SUITE September 11,2024

In high-pressure heat pump systems, vapor injection compressors improve system COP and reduce costs. These systems use a two-stage throttling process, and optimization can involve compressor matching, design changes, and expansion control strategies. Effective optimization requires simulation to consider economic constraints and dynamic interactions. This webinar explores a holistic optimization approach using GT-SUITE, integrating a detailed 1D scroll compressor model with a transient system model, and compares it to empirical models to demonstrate its benefits.

Topics include: 

• Vapor injection compressor systems are used in heat pump systems to increase COP and lower operating expenditure
• To maximize COP, heat pump systems offer multiple optimization opportunities through various strategies such as compressor matching and expansion control.
• Simulation tools like GT-SUITE can be used to explore the design space and optimize system performance
• It is important to consider dynamic system and compressor interactions for better performance, which can be achieved through a holistic system optimization methodology
• Integrating a detailed 1D scroll compressor model with a transient system model demonstrates the capability of simulation methodology for optimizing vapor injection heat pump systems

GT Technical Webinar Series: Fuel Cell Fault Simulation and Detection for On Board Diagnostics using Real-Time Digital Twins July 24, 2024

The modern automotive industry is facing challenges of ever-increasing complexity in the electrified powertrain era. On-board diagnostic (OBD) systems must be thoroughly validated and calibrated through many iterations to function effectively and meet the regulation standards. Their development and design process is more complex when prototype hardware is not available, and therefore virtual testing is a prominent solution, including Model-in-the-loop (MIL), Software-in-the-loop (SIL), and Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations. Virtual prototype testing, relying on real-time simulation models, is necessary to design and test new era’s OBD systems quickly and on a large scale. The new fuel cell powertrain involves new and previously unexplored failure modes. To make the system robust, simulations are required to identify different failures. Thus, it is imperative to build simulation models that can reliably reproduce failures of components like the compressor, recirculation pump, humidifier, or cooling systems. As OBD regulations become more stringent and advanced, it is challenging to keep pace and perform comprehensive testing in real-world environments. This webinar will present the necessary fuel cell model developments to reproduce relevant failure modes, which in turn can be detected by a control model developed in Simulink. Then the viability of this approach will be demonstrated by showing MIL and HIL test results.

Topics include: 

• The automotive industry is facing challenges in the electrified powertrain era due to the complexity of on-board diagnostic (OBD) systems

• Virtual testing, including MIL, SIL, and HIL simulations, is necessary for designing and testing new era’s OBD systems quickly and in scale when prototype hardware is not available
• Simulation models that can reliably reproduce failures of components like the compressor, recirculation pump, humidifier, or cooling systems in the new fuel cell powertrain, will be key
• MIL and SIL testing provides a quick way for controls engineers to develop new strategies at the system level to adhere to new OBD regulations
• High fidelity physics-based Real Time plant model on HIL systems allows engineers to perform fault insertions tests on the software and leave the lab environment with a certain degree of guarantee

GT Technical Webinar Series: Utilizing Multi-Physics Simulation for Electrolysis and H2 Infrastructure Development Webinar September 18, 2024

In order to fully transition to a carbon-neutral society, large amounts of hydrogen will be needed. This entails the need to develop sustainable ways to produce, store, and dispense hydrogen to meet the demands of a constantly growing market. Especially in industries such as steel manufacturing or chemical processes, the transition to hydrogen is crucial for achieving carbon neutrality. Additionally, considering the potential demand from transportation sectors, especially heavy-duty, marine, or aerospace, the required amount of hydrogen is orders of magnitude higher than what is currently produced. Electrolysis is the only genuinely green method of producing hydrogen. Understanding the entire system from the stack to the system level requires integrated multi-physics simulation. This webinar will highlight the capabilities of GT-SUITE in this area. Additionally, applications in other aspects of the necessary hydrogen infrastructure, such as fueling stations and storage, will be showcased.

Topics include: 

• Hydrogen will be transitioning to a carbon-neutral market

• Industries like steel manufacturing and chemical processes need to switch from natural gas to hydrogen with the aim for carbon-free operation

• The demand for hydrogen in transportation sectors like heavy duty, marine, and aerospace is significantly higher than current production levels.

• Electrolysis is one of the most environmentally friendly methods of producing hydrogen

• Multi-physics integrated simulation will greatly help in understanding the hydrogen system from stack to system level

• This webinar will showcase the capabilities of GT-SUITE in simulating hydrogen systems

• GT-SUITE can also be applied to other aspects of hydrogen infrastructure like fueling stations and storage

GT Technical Webinar Series:GT-SUITE for Increased Robustness of Fault Detection Webinar​ June 6, 2024

In this webinar, we will talk about the advancements in fault detection and predictive maintenance for complex physical systems in the era of Industry 4.0. With the vast amount of data available today, there is a growing potential to effectively predict and prevent issues in industrial machinery. Multi-physics simulation models of reciprocating compressors as part of Digital Twin Environments have advanced significantly, thus allowing for the quick and easy generation of synthetic training datasets and specific labelled anomalous datasets simulating real-world faults. We will talk about a well-known commercial multi-physics simulation software that is used to model an industrial reciprocating compressor system with various domains including bearings, valves, compressor shaft mechanics, NVH, lubrication, and gas flow dynamics.

Topics include: 

• Thanks to the abundance of monitored data, fault detection, and predictive maintenance of complex physical systems is now possible in the Industry 4.0 era.

• Multi-physics simulation models of reciprocating compressors in Digital Twin Environments allow for the quick generation of synthetic training datasets and specific labelled anomalous datasets.

• Supervised learning techniques are applied to train machine learning models for fault detection.

• Trained models can be deployed in real-world scenarios for online real-time monitoring to detect potential failures and identify fault causes.

• This technology can help with predictive maintenance of compressor systems, reduce unscheduled downtime, and decrease the economic impact from loss of production.

• A significant advantage of this technology is the ability to reproduce and prevent faults without risking damage to expensive machines.
