Marine Gas Turbine Modeling for Modern Control Design.

Abstract

The search for improved performance of U.S. Navy ships has led to more complex propulsion systems consisting of multiple, interacting inputs. Classical control theory does not effectively exploit these interactions. Modern control theory provides a systematic method of dealing with multiple interacting inputs to achieve improved system performance. One of the the most highly developed modern control techniques is the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) method. Essential to the application of this method is the formulation of a state space description of the plant. In this paper a nonlinear dynamic propulsion system model is developed from experimental data and used to formulate a state space model.
