The demands on heavy duty vehicles is constantly raising with government legislations on CO2 emissions becoming stricter and increasing customer demands. A continuous search for new methods and tools is a crucial element in finding more performance and lower emissions, which are prerequisites for heavy duty vehicles of the future. This thesis is conducted at Scania CV AB and aims at proposing a co-simulation setup which implements the engine management system, EMS, for turbocharger control, into engine simulation models that the company uses to simulate the behaviour of their combustion engines. The EMS software for turbocharger control is modelled in a MATLAB Simulink model and the engine simulation model is modelled in GT-SUITE. The thesis is also suggesting improvements to a turbine model that is modelled within the given EMS software. The results suggest a co-simulation setup that enables the engine simulation models to utilize the EMS software for turbocharger control which thereby enhances their ability to predict engine behaviour. The setup can also be used as a tool during the development process for other part of the EMS and could ease the need for physical engine tests in test cell. The suggested improvements to the turbine model revolves around building a model capturing the aspects of a so called twin scroll turbine and also to implement a better estimation of the turbine efficiency. The improvements to the turbine model ultimately leads to improving the response behaviour of the EMS turbocharger control system.
