Strategy for Advanced Sensing and Control of Combustion.

Abstract

This report summarizes the results of a one-year investigation of advanced issues related to sensing and control of combustion. The ultimate goal of this work is to develop procedures for optimizing and controlling the operating characteristics of gas turbine combustors. Toward this end, an extensive literature survey has been conducted, and model-based and heuristic-based control schemes have been proposed. Keywords: Controlled combustion; Distributed parameter control; Combustion; Optimization of combustion; Gas turbines.
