Stability of Fiber Optic Networked Decentralized Distributed Engine Control Under Time Delays

Abstract

The importance of distributed architecture for turbine engine control is well discussed in literature. Distributed turbine engine control architecture enables the use of new performance optimization methods along with achieving weight reduction. Communication constraints like time delays and packet dropouts can limit the performance of distributed engine control. In this paper, we propose a controller which will stabilize the time delay system based on delay independent condition. The controller under decentralized framework is also studied for stability under both time delays and packet dropouts. The proposed Decentralized Distributed Full Authority Digital Engine Control (D2FADEC) is implemented using Fiber Optics and is validated using a gas turbine engine model.
