Overall Technology Assessment Program Relationships between Benchmarking, Modeling and Quality Control Methods
SAE INTERNATIONAL
EPA’s Quality Control Tools •Engine, Transmission, and Vehicle Test Data Package review and publication process
•Share results with stakeholders including the supplier / manufacturer
•Energy flow audit to ensure that the model agrees with proper physics.
•Data visualization tool to compare and contrast simulation modeling results
•Systematic comparison of simulation results against test data to verify understanding of the technology combinations
•Publish technical papers in peer-reviewed journals / conferences
•Conduct formal peer-reviews of major modeling and analysis methodologies
Inter-dependent data sets are used to cross-validate each other in an iterative process, such as:
a) Vehicle and component data informs development of the model vehicle control strategies
b)The model informs benchmarking methods and understanding of vehicle and component technology

NCAT has developed a process* to generate well documented engine maps to:
• Translate component data consistently into engine maps and vehicle model inputs
• Ensure engine technologies are evaluated equitably in engine map comparisons, and in vehicle simulation modeling
• Predict engine operation and behavior in real world operation
• Consistently scale engine size when estimating the effectiveness of technologies across the vehicle fleet (small cars to large trucks)
• Assess the potential effectiveness of new engine technologies
• Enable modeling for assessments of current and future standards
• Publish data and engine maps from EPA’s benchmarking efforts

• ALPHA is EPA’s tool for understanding vehicle behavior, effectiveness of various powertrain
technologies and their greenhouse gas
emissions.
• ALPHA is an Advanced Light-Duty Powertrain and Hybrid Analysis tool created by EPA to
estimate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
from current and future light-duty vehicles.
12US ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
• ALPHA is a physics-based, forward-looking, full vehicle computer simulation capable of analyzing various vehicle types combined with different powertrain technologies.
• ALPHA is not a commercial product - e.g. there are no user manuals, tech support hotlines, graphical user interfaces, full libraries of components, etc.
o ALPHA is freely available on EPA’s web-site, and open for use by interested stakeholders.

EPA regularly conducts technology assessments to better understand the status of the
industry’s engine development
• Attend conferences, review papers and journal articles, meet with manufacturers and suppliers.
• Determine technology content of recently introduced or announced engines.
• Determine the technology frontier and possible future technology combinations.
See 2018 SAE paper* for an example assessment performed by EPA to evaluate the degree of
implementation of turbocharged engine technologies.

• Engine parameters and technologies have been steadily advancing since 2010 – including: a) compression ratio (CR), b) stroke/bore ratio, c) intake cam phase authority, d) integrated exhaust manifolds, e) friction
reduction, f) faster camshaft phasing control, g) advanced boosting technology, h) cooled EGR, and i) Miller Cycle.
• No engine incorporates all potential improvements – significant untapped efficiency improvement potential is still available with application of:
a) cylinder deactivation
b) variable valve lift [VVL]
c) variable compression ratio [VCR]
d) variations of dilute combustion/spark assisted gasoline compression ignition

Summary of New Mazda SPCCI - Spark Controlled Compression Ignition
As Mazda explained at their 2017 Global Tech Forum*, a
breakthrough was needed to enable compression ignition
gasoline engines
How it Works:
• Lean premixture injected during intake stroke that won’t ignite
• 2nd high pressure injection during compression stroke to create a combustible mixture near spark plug
• Spark initiates combustion
• Expanding fireball creates final push to cause the whole mixture to combust

*using data from ALPHA using Mazda's published information
Initial ALPHA
Estimate
The 12.5% efficiency improvement in ALPHA results compare reasonably with real-world driving results in the automotive press test drives (13%-14%).
▪ This is just an initial estimate to gain a sense of the potential impact of this technology. Since the technology is not yet in the market place, it is too early to project if Skyactiv-X technology could be widely used in the industry and in what time frame.
▪ EPA plans to confirm this estimate with vehicle and engine benchmarking data as soon as the vehicle becomes available.
Test Drive Notes:
▪ It appears that the test drive involved a comparison to a European Skyactiv-G (14:1 CR), probably operating on European premium fuel.
▪ Some of the drive cycle was standard traffic around suburban Frankfurt, Germany, including low-speed residential and town stop-and-go, but they also spent a few miles at up to 160 km/h
28 (100 mph) during two short Autobahn stints.* Driver BDriver A

Example 5: Projection of Adding Cylinder Deactivation to Current and Future Engines Adding Full Continuous Cylinder Deactivation (deacFC)
29US ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
• Full Continuous Cylinder Deactivation (deacFC*) allows any of the cylinders to be deactivated, and the number of deactivated cylinders can be varied in a continuous fashion.
This is an advanced form of cylinder deactivation that involves all cylinders (e.g, all 8 cylinders in V8)
rather than a fixed subset (e.g., only 4 specific cylinders in a V8).
• deacFC engine can be run on a non-integer number of cylinders (e.g., 2.5 cylinders) by varying number and pattern of firing cylinders from cycle to cycle.
• deacFC can command complete cylinder cutout during decelerations, cutting both fuel and air to the engine, reducing aftertreatment cooling and vehicle deceleration.
• Tula Technology developed an implementation of deacFC called Dynamic Skip Fire (DSF) and applied it to V8 and I4 engines.
