    摘要: A method for tuning a gas turbine engine includes performing a sensitivity step process on a tuning parameter. An operating parameter is monitored. The gas turbine is operating in a first operational state and the operating parameter has an initial condition. The tuning parameter is selected for adjustment. The tuning parameter is adjusted by a predefined amount. The adjustment includes applying an incremental bias adjustment to a fuel flow fraction schedule. The gas turbine engine transitions to a second operational state, wherein the operating parameter has an adjusted condition. The adjusted condition and the initial condition of the operating parameter are applied to a cost function. It is then determined that the cost function results in a cost function value indicative of a decreased cost. The incremental bias adjustment and the cost function value is written to a bias look-up table and are associated with the selected tuning parameter.
