The research objective of this GOALI award is the development of a dynamic multi-mode design methodology for an efficient energy conversion system. The research will characterize and model key design aspects of an engineering system that must undergo multiple operating conditions, formalize the design methodology, and validate the methodology in a realistic energy conversion system design case (diesel engine) with an industrial partner -- Caterpillar, Inc. The design methodology will utilize the idea of equilibrium (or complementarity) constraints in a multidisciplinary design optimization framework. The results of this research will provide and validate a new class of problems and solutions for dynamic multi-mode system design that is emerging from the energy conversion system design practices in industry, including alternative energy sources. If successful, the results of this research will overcome limitations in existing design methods with respect to scalability, dynamic behavior and autonomous selection of operational modes. Long-term environmental and societal benefits include reducing emissions, decreasing negative environmental impact, and developing cleaner energy sources such as solar, wind, clean coal, hydrogen, among others. Designing energy conversion systems, including diesel engines, will be more efficient in complying with the stricter environmental regulatory policies. By adopting the new multi-mode design methodology, manufacturers will be able to achieve the goal of cost-effective compliance while producing energy conversion systems with better performance. Women and minority students will benefit from the education efforts in partnership with the Women in Engineering Program and the Morrill Engineering Program, and graduate students will gain valuable research experience via the industry-university research assistantship program.

该GOALI奖的研究目标是为高效的能量转换系统开发动态多模式设计方法。该研究将描述和建模工程系统的关键设计方面，必须经历多个操作条件，形式化的设计方法，并验证该方法在一个现实的能量转换系统设计案例（柴油发动机）与工业合作伙伴-卡特彼勒公司。设计方法将利用平衡（或互补）约束的多学科设计优化框架的想法。这项研究的结果将提供和验证一类新的问题和解决方案的动态多模式系统的设计，是新兴的能源转换系统的设计实践中的工业，包括替代能源。如果成功的话，这项研究的结果将克服现有的设计方法在可扩展性，动态行为和自主选择的操作模式方面的局限性。长期的环境和社会效益包括减少排放，减少对环境的负面影响，以及开发更清洁的能源，如太阳能，风能，清洁煤，氢气等。设计包括柴油发动机在内的能源转换系统将更有效地遵守更严格的环境监管政策。通过采用新的多模式设计方法，制造商将能够实现符合成本效益的目标，同时生产性能更好的能量转换系统。妇女和少数民族学生将受益于与妇女工程计划和莫里尔工程计划合作的教育工作，研究生将通过行业大学研究助学金计划获得宝贵的研究经验。
