Robust, Multivariable, Quantitative Design of an Adaptive Model-Based Control for Jet Engines

Abstract

The robust design of a model-based control system for a single-spool gas turbine engine is presented. The overall objective of this work is to develop a robust, quantitative design methodology that allows the turbine engine control system engineer the ability to control variables that can not be directly measured. The study makes use of the model-based control structure that is of current interest within the turbine engine control community. Then the concept of robustness is added to the model-based control structure to ensure satisfactory operation of the turbine engine throughout the flight envelope.
