    摘要: Systems and methods for controlling a fluid-based system are disclosed. The systems and methods may include a model processor for generating a model output, the model processor including a set state module for setting dynamic states, the dynamic states input to an open loop model based on the model operating mode, where the open loop model generates current state derivatives, solver state errors, and synthesized parameters as a function of the dynamic states and a model input vector. A constraint on the current state derivatives and solver state errors is based on mathematical abstractions of physical laws that govern behavior of a component of a cycle of a control device. The model processor may further include an estimate state module for determining an estimated state of the model based on at least one of a prior state, the current state derivatives, the solver state errors, and the synthesized parameters.

    摘要: A control system for a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The control system may include a computer processor. The control system may also include an outer loop control module programmed into the computer processor to determine a torque request based at least in part on a real-time collective lever angle command. The control system may also include an inner loop control module programmed into the computer processor to receive the torque request from the outer loop control module, to determine fuel flow and inlet guide vane schedules based at least in part on the received torque request, and to send signals to a gas generator of the gas turbine engine in order to control the gas generator according to the determined fuel flow and inlet guide vane schedules.

    摘要: A control system for a gas turbine engine, a method for controlling a gas turbine engine, and a gas turbine engine are disclosed. The control system may include a hybrid model predictive control (HMPC) module, the HMPC module receiving power goals and operability limits and determining a multi-variable control command for the gas turbine engine, the multi-variable control command determined using the power goals, the operability limits, actuator goals, sensor signals, and synthesis signals. The control system may further include system sensors for determining the sensor signals and a non-linear engine model for estimating corrected speed signals and synthesis signals using the sensor signals, the synthesis signals including an estimated stall margin remaining. The control system may further include a goal generation module for determining actuator goals for the HMPC module using the corrected speed signals and an actuator for controlling the gas turbine engine based on the multivariable control command.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine inlet sensor fault detection and accommodation system comprises an engine model, an engine parameter comparison block, an inlet condition estimator, control laws, and a fault detection and accommodation system. The engine model is configured to produce a real-time model-based estimate of engine parameters. The engine parameter comparison block is configured to produce residuals indicating the difference between the real-time model-based estimate of engine parameters and sensed values of the engine parameters. The inlet condition estimator is configured to iteratively adjust an estimate of inlet conditions based on the residuals. The control laws are configured to produce engine control parameters for control of gas turbine engine actuators based on the inlet conditions. The fault detection and accommodation system is configured to detect faults in inlet condition sensors, select sensed inlet conditions for use by the control laws in the event of no fault, and select estimated inlet conditions for use by the control laws in the event of inlet condition sensor fault.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine comprises a compressor, a combustor, a turbine, and an electronic engine control system. The compressor, combustor, and turbine are arranged in flow series. The electronic engine control system is configured to estimate combustor fuel-air ratio based on a realtime model-based estimate of combustor airflow, and commands engine actuators to correct for a difference between the estimated combustor fuel-air ratio and a limit fuel-air ratio selected to avoid lean blowout.
