Contract Id:
Proposal Number:
Project Title:
NONLINEAR REAL-TIME HIGH RELIABILITY ENGINE CONTROL
Technical Abstract:
Robust nonlinear control strategies will be developed for
turbine engine real-time controls This effort will accommodates
an integrated nonlinear control approach for the design of a high
reliability control system based on advanced sensor processing,
robust and nonlinear control, and neural fuzzy control integration.
Several enabling advanced control technologies ranging from
robust control, analytic gain scheduling, and feedback linearization
approaches will be studied to demonstrate the effectiveness of the
advanced control technology to the aeropropulsion control system
design. Real-time implementation of high reliability engine control
system will be conducted. The ultimate goal aims to broaden the
engine operating envelop, and at the same time, to ensure stability,
flying quality and safety, cost reduction, graceful degradation and
reoptimization in the case of failures, malfunctions and damage.
Potential Commercial Applications:
The technique of integrated control and health monitoring
for turbine engines directly benefits the militarty/civilian
aviation and space areas. Such a system will lead to improved
performance, enhanced safety, and increased reliability,
availability, and durability. The developed hardware-in-the-loop
real-time simulation system can be applied to industrial
manufacturing and processing plants
