ESTIMATION AND CONTROL OF CRITICAL GAS TURBINE ENGINE VARIABLES

The stochastic regulation design procedures involve (a) deterministic multivariable feedback control design, (b) stochastic estimator design, and (c) closed-loop regulation based on feedback of estimated engine state and selected output variables through the deterministic control logic. Results obtained by applying the stochastic regulation design procedures to a nonlinear F100/F401 engine simulation are presented. These results indicate that a multivariable stochastic regulator designed on the basis of modern state space estimation and control methodologies can be employed to achieve accurate regulation of nonlinear gas turbine engines.
