Powertrain Instrumentation and Test Systems

The book deals with the increasingly complex test systems for powertrain components and systems giving an overview of the diverse types of test beds for all components of an advanced powertrain focusing on specific topics such as instrumentation, control, simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, automation or test facility management. This book is intended for powertrain (component) development engineers, test bed planners, test bed operators and beginners.

Focuses on natural gas and synthetic methane as contemporary and future energy sources Presents methods for sustainable production of natural gas and methane as well as production and storage of synthetic methane Shows some perspectives on further uses of renewable liquid fuels as well as natural gas
