This paper presents an approach to turbofan engine dynamical output feedback controller (DOFC) design in the framework of LMI (Linear Matrix Inequality)-based H∞ control. In combination with loop shaping and internal model principle, the linear state space model of a turbofan engine is converted into that of some augmented plant, which is used to establish the LMI formulations of the standard H∞ control problem with respect to this augmented plant. Furthermore, by solving optimal H∞ controller for the augmented plant, we indirectly obtain the H∞ DOFC of turbofan engine which successfully achieves the tracking of reference instructions and effective constraints on control inputs. This design method is applied to the H∞ DOFC design for the linear models of an advanced multivariate turbofan engine. The obtained H∞ DOFC is only in control of the steady state of this turbofan engine. Simulation results from the linear and nonlinear models of this turbofan engine show that the resulting controller has such properties as good tracking performance, strong disturbance rejection, and satisfying robustness.

Feedback Linearization Control

This paper aims to develop an applicable nonlinear control technique for aeroengines. An approximate nonlinear model is presented and a rational identification procedure is given. Exact input-output feedback linearization can be easily performed on this model. The controller derived can approximately linearize the plant such that the close-loop system exhibits linear input-output dynamics locally. Modeling and controlling are exemplified and validated by a small turbofan engine. Simulation results illustrate that the modeling accuracy is good and linear close-loop system dynamics are achieved.

Function Models

In the past, a typical way of executing simulations in a real-time environment had been to use transfer function models, state-variable models, or reduced-order aero-thermodynamic models. These models are typically not as accurate as the conventional full-fidelity aero-thermodynamic simulations used as a basis for the generation of real-time models. Also, there is a cost associated with the creation and maintenance of these derived real-time models. The ultimate goal is to use the high fidelity aero-thermodynamic simulation as the real-time model. However, execution of the high fidelity aero-thermodynamic simulation in a real-time environment is a challenging objective since accuracy of the simulation cannot be sacrificed to optimize execution speed, yet execution speed still has to be limited by some means to fit into real-time constraint. This paper discusses the methodology used to resolve this challenge, thereby enabling use of a contemporary turbofan engine high fidelity aero-thermodynamic simulation in real-time environments. This publication reflects the work that was initially presented at the ASME Turbo Expo 2011 (Fuksman and Sirica, 2011, “Real-Time Execution of a High Fidelity Aero-Thermodynamic Turbofan Engine Simulation,” ASME Turbo Expo, Jun. 6-10, Vancouver, Canada, Paper No. GT2011-46661).

The paper deals with the development and validation of an aero-thermodynamic model for a twin-spool mixed flow turbofan engine based on the state variable and control volume approach. Using actual performance data, the engine simulation has been performed for steady state and transient conditions with the help of MATLAB-SIMULINK. The simulation model is developed in a systematic manner. Engine states for different steady state operating conditions have been plotted. The model is fully equipped with capabilities to be integrated with the engine control design software to yield results for closed loop simulation. The results are validated against an independent and widely available modeling software called Gas turbine Simulation Program (GSP).

Recent technology reviews have identified the need for objective assessments of engine health management (EHM) technology. The need is two-fold: technology developers require relevant data and problems to design and validate new algorithms and techniques while engine system integrators and operators need practical tools to direct development and then evaluate the effectiveness of proposed solutions. This paper presents a publicly available gas path diagnostic benchmark problem that has been developed by the Propulsion and Power Systems Panel of The Technical Cooperation Program (TTCP) to help address these needs. The problem is coded in Matlab™ and coupled with a non-linear turbofan engine simulation to produce “snap-shot” measurements, with relevant noise levels, as if collected from a fleet of engines over their lifetime of use. Each engine within the fleet will experience unique operating and deterioration profiles, and may encounter randomly occurring relevant gas path faults including sensor, actuator and component faults. The challenge to the EHM community is to develop gas path diagnostic algorithms to reliably perform fault detection and isolation. An example solution to the benchmark problem is provided along with associated evaluation metrics. A plan is presented to disseminate this benchmark problem to the engine health management technical community and invite technology solutions.
