    摘要: A control system trims a gas turbine engine in real-time to provide a desired amount of thrust. The control system includes a controller coupled to the engine for receiving inputs from the engine regarding a status of the engine. The controller includes a processor and a non-volatile memory coupled to the processor. The processor is programmed to execute control logic. An engine power schedule representing values for a controlled variable is stored in the memory.

    摘要: A sensor in an engineering system can be tested to detect, isolate and accommodate faults. Initially, a modeled sensor value of each actual sensor value is generated as a function of a plurality of other sensors. An absolute value of a difference between the actual sensor value and the modeled sensor value is then computed and compared to a predetermined threshold. A sensor fault is detected if the difference is greater than the predetermined threshold. Once a sensor fault is detected, it is isolated using hypothesis testing and maximum wins strategies. After the fault is isolated, the fault is accommodated by substituting the modeled sensor value for the actual sensor value.

    摘要: A method of estimating quality parameters for a plurality of engine components of a gas turbine engine is provided. The engine components have at least one sensor responsive to the engine component operation. The method includes providing an engine model having virtual sensor values and quality parameters corresponding to the plurality of sensors of the engine components; comparing the virtual sensor values to actual sensor values of the plurality of sensors of the engine components to determine the difference between the actual and virtual sensor values; amplifying the difference by a predetermined gain; generating a plurality of quality parameter deltas in response to the sensed difference; iteratively updating the embedded engine model by inputting a predetermined portion of the generated quality parameter deltas into the embedded engine model; adjusting the embedded engine model for engine operating conditions; and recalculating the virtual sensor values.

    摘要: A method to compensate for blade tip clearance deterioration between rotating blade tips and a surrounding shroud in an aircraft gas turbine engine includes determining one or more variables based on at least one or more moving averages of one or more engine operating parameters respectively averaged over a fixed number of operational engine flight cycles and adjusting a flow rate of thermal control air to counter the blade tip clearance deterioration based on the one or more variables. The engine operating parameters may include running number of engine cycles, takeoff and cruise exhaust gas temperature margins, a cruise turbine efficiency, takeoff and cruise maximum turbine speeds, a cruise fuel flow. Some or all of the variables may be differences between the moving averages and corresponding baselines of the engine operating parameters respectively or the variables may all be moving averages. The flow rate may be adjusted incrementally.
