Abstract: The latest electronically controlled marine engines have a control system that allows the operator to view all the essential parameters of the engine in real conditions during operation. The system is connected to the electronic control system (ECS) through the control network, thus controlling the engine. The operator has various management and monitoring options. The objective of this paper was to become familiar with the specific factors that affect engine operation and optimize engine operation. A model of a large marine engine was developed and calibrated with measured data. Simulations were performed, and the combustion process was analyzed. The parameter study was performed by varying the fuel injection and the gas exchange timing. Fuel consumption decreases by 6 g/kWh, and NOx emissions decrease by 0.5 g/kWh. The research conducted in this work will be used by engineers to understand the potential of new technologies to optimize combustion in real-world conditions during operation and for the future development of an expert system to continuously monitor, diagnose, and optimize engine health during operation.
