    Abstract: A system and methods are provided for controlling turboshaft engines. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving input signals for a collective lever angle (CLA) command and real-time power turbine speed (NP) of an engine, determining system data for engine effectors by the control unit based on the input signals for the collective lever angle (CLA) command and the real-time power turbine speed (NP) based on an integrated model for the turboshaft engine including a model of a gas generator section of the turboshaft engine and a model of a power turbine and rotor load section of the turboshaft engine. The method may also include determining control output based on model-based multi-variable control including optimization formulation and a constrained optimization solver. The method may also include outputting one or more control signals for control of the turboshaft engine.

    Abstract: 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, wherein the open loop model generates current state derivatives, solver state errors, synthesized parameters as a function of the dynamic states and a model input vector. A constraint on the state derivatives and solver state errors is based on a series, of utilities that are based on mathematical abstractions of physical laws that govern behavior of the component. The model processor may 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.

    Abstract: A controller for a power generating system that includes an engine and a generator, wherein the engine provides mechanical force to the generator, which converts the mechanical force to electrical energy that is distributed via a distribution network. The controller includes a complementary filter that applies a low-frequency response to changes in the monitored power output and a high-frequency response to changes in the monitored grid frequency. The complementary filter combines outputs of the high-frequency response and low-frequency response to generate a process variable. A feedback controller generates a fuel flow value in response to the process variable.
