» ABSTRACT This study was on fuzzy modelling and control of marine diesel engine process. This strategy has been suggested for enhancing the regulator design that could represent an alternative to the standard embedded BOSCH controller, already implemented in the Engine Control Unit (ECU), without any change to the engine instrumentation. The marine system controller project requires the knowledge o...Continue Reading »
