    Abstract: A hybrid electric propulsion system includes a gas turbine engine having at least one compressor section and at least one turbine section operably coupled to a shaft. The hybrid electric propulsion system includes an electric motor configured to augment rotational power of the shaft of the gas turbine engine. A controller is operable to determine hybrid electric propulsion system parameters based on a composite system model and sensor data, determine a prediction based on the hybrid electric propulsion system parameters and the composite system model, determine a model predictive control optimization for a plurality of hybrid electric system control effectors based on the prediction using a plurality of reduced-order partitions of the composite system model, and actuate the hybrid electric system control effectors based on the model predictive control optimization.

    Abstract: An engine control system includes an engine controller configured to execute an open-loop model of the engine control system. The open-loop model receives a measured effector and boundary condition parameter vector and generates a synthesized engine operating parameter based on the measured effector and boundary condition parameter vector. The engine controller calculates a corrector error value between the synthesized engine operating parameter and a measured engine operating parameter, and determines an open loop corrector error calculated as a difference between the corrector error and a vector-matrix product of corrector state vector and a gain map/function. The engine controller applies the gain map/function to the open loop corrector error to determine an effector and boundary condition error vector of the measured effector and boundary condition parameter vector.
