Integrated Model-Based Controls and PHM for Improving Turbine Engine Performance, Reliability, and Cost
Abstract
Control of high performance military aircraft propulsion systems continues to become more complex in response to increasingly demanding operational and multiple mission needs. Propulsion systems of the future will require adaptive engine control to enable precise and repeatable performance within stringent reliability, safety and cost constraints. In order to achieve performance that meets these requirements, propulsion control systems must evolve towards advanced designs with multivariable control systems and integrate numerous systems, including inlet, exhaust, power and bleed extraction, electrical power, thermal and environmental management, fuel, starting, accessories, aircraft flight control, and often propellers, open rotors, or lift fans. Due to the significant growth in complexity and number of control variables coupled with the demands of multivariable implementation, software development and verification tools must support model-based development and cost effective validation and verification strategies.
