Detailed Description
The aero-engine has strong nonlinearity and model uncertainty, the traditional robust gain scheduling control directly considers the engine degradation as the uncertainty of an engine model to design a robust controller, the conservativeness of the controller is greatly increased, the performance of the engine is seriously reduced, and the engine is damaged due to overlarge control input. The analytical study procedure of the present invention is given below in view of this problem.
1. Estimation of engine performance degradation
The performance degradation of the engine refers to the normal aging phenomenon of the engine caused by natural abrasion, fatigue, fouling and the like after the engine runs for many times in a circulating way. At this time, the performance of some engines may slowly deviate from the rated state. Taking the turbine component as an example, its operating efficiency slowly decreases as it operates with the engine for multiple cycles. The ability to convert high temperature and high pressure gases into mechanical energy will be reduced and the engine's linearized model at one operating point will change.
The final characteristic of the degradation of the engine performance is the variation of the working efficiency and the flow of the different rotor components, the variation of the efficiency or flow coefficients of the fan, compressor, main combustion, high-pressure turbine and low-pressure turbine components, which are called degradation or health parameters, can characterize the degradation of the engine performance.

And (3) taking the degradation parameter h as the control input of the engine, and linearizing the nonlinear model of the engine at the healthy steady-state reference point by adopting a small perturbation method or a fitting method.

w is system noise, r is measurement noise, h is a degradation parameter, and Δ h is h-h 0 (ii) a The w and R are uncorrelated white gaussian noise, the mean value is 0, and the covariance matrix is diagonal matrices Q and R, which satisfies the following conditions:

Wherein the coefficient matrix is obtained by:
Figure BDA0002439600310000073
Figure BDA0002439600310000074
these coefficients have different values at different operating states of the engine.
In fact, the degradation parameters are difficult or even impossible to measure, and the pressure, temperature, speed, etc. of each part of the engine are easy to obtain by measurement, and are generally called "measurement parameters" and mainly include the temperature and pressure at the outlet of the air inlet, the outlet of the fan, the outlet of the compressor, the rear of the high-pressure turbine and the rear of the low-pressure turbine, the speed of the fan and the speed of the compressor. When the working environment of the engine does not change, the change of the degradation parameter can cause the corresponding change of the measured parameter, and an aerodynamic-thermodynamic relation exists between the degradation parameter and the measured parameter. Thus, an optimal estimation filter can be designed to achieve optimal estimation of the degradation parameters by measuring the parameters.
Since the process of engine performance degradation is relatively slow, a reasonable assumption can be made that the rate of change of Δ h is

Further converting the degradation parameter into a state variable to obtain

The established degradation parameter estimation loop mainly comprises two parts, wherein one part is a nonlinear airborne engine model based on performance degradation, and the other part is a piecewise linear Kalman filter consisting of a piecewise linear model and a Kalman filter corresponding to a steady-state point. The basic working principle is that the output of the nonlinear airborne engine model is used as a steady-state reference value of the piecewise linear Kalman filter, the degradation parameter is expanded, online real-time estimation is carried out through the piecewise linear Kalman filter, and finally the output is fed back to the nonlinear airborne engine model for online real-time updating. The real-time tracking of the actual engine is realized, and the airborne self-adaptive model of the engine is established.
The kalman estimation equation is:

the degradation parameter h of the engine can be obtained according to the calculation formula.
2. Robust controller design with uncertain model of degradation parameters
Uncertainty inevitably exists in any practical system, and can be divided into two categories, disturbance signal and model uncertainty. The disturbing signal includes interference, noise, and the like. The uncertainty of the model represents the difference between the mathematical model and the actual object.
Model uncertainty may have several reasons, some parameters in the linear model are always in error; parameters in the linear model may change due to non-linearity or changes in operating conditions; artificial simplification during modeling; degradation of engine performance due to wear and the like.
The uncertainty may adversely affect the stability and performance of the control system.
The error between the actual engine and the nominal model (which is a conventional non-linear model of the engine without degradation parameters) can be expressed as a camera block delta. Referring to FIG. 5, an uncertain model of the engine is built by adding a camera block to the nominal model
Figure BDA0002439600310000091
Figure BDA0002439600310000092
It can also be expressed as
G(s)=[I+Δ(s)]G nom (s)
Wherein G(s) is an uncertain model of the engine, G nom (s) is the nominal model and Δ(s) is the perturbation block.
The uptake block Δ(s) contains performance degradation, which can be predicted by measuring the parameters, see fig. 6. Dividing the pickup block Delta(s) into pickup blocks Delta(s) free of engine performance degradation h (s) and a degradation parameter. Referring to FIG. 7, perturbation blocks Δ without engine performance degradation are added to the nominal model h (s) and a degradation parameter, representing the engine uncertainty model as
Figure BDA0002439600310000093
Figure BDA0002439600310000094
It can also be represented as
G(s)=[I+Δ h (s)]G h_nom (s)
In the formula,. DELTA. h (s) is a pickup block free from engine performance degradation, G h_nom (s) is a new nominal model in the engine performance degradation state h, and satisfies
G(s)=[I+Δ(s)]G nom (s)
=[I+Δ h (s)+h(s)]G nom (s)
=[I+Δ h (s)]G h_nom (s)
We can obtain that the content of the Chinese patent application,
Figure BDA0002439600310000096
referring to fig. 8, the upper and lower small circular areas represent the linear uncertainty model of the engine without degradation and performance degradation h, respectively, and the large circular area represents the linear uncertainty model of the engine in the general robust controller design. In the design of a general robust controller, the degradation of the engine is directly considered as uncertainty in the model, without changing the nominal model of the engine. Therefore, the uncertainty radius of the uncertainty term must be large enough to accommodate the uncertainty model of the degraded engine, making the perturbation radius of the uncertainty model too large. Aiming at the condition of engine performance degradation h, a new nominal model is established in the state, and an uncertain engine model is established by taking the new nominal model as the center of a circle. Selecting perturbation blocks delta without engine performance degradation for a new nominal model under a certain degradation state h (s) the smallest perturbation radius camera block is selected that can cover all uncertainties of the engine except for degradation. Referring to FIG. 8, through an estimation of the degradation of engine performance, the perturbation radius of the camera block in the engine uncertainty | | | Δ h The perturbation range of the uncertain model is reduced
Figure BDA0002439600310000101
And finally, designing a robust controller by using a traditional robust controller design method according to a small perturbation uncertain model, wherein the designed robust controller is lower in conservation.
3. Gain scheduling control design with degradation parameters
The essence of gain scheduling control is to design a set of linearized controllers, which are then regularly combined to be able to control a non-linear system. The basic principle of gain scheduling control with degradation parameters is to select a series of operating points, obtain engine linearized models in a normal state and some performance degradation states, and design corresponding linear degradation conservative robust controllers respectively to obtain the linear degradation conservative robust controller group in fig. 1.
Referring to FIG. 9, a set of scheduling parameter values α is selected i 1, 2.. times.n, which represents the dynamic range of the system, and divides the flight envelope into several subintervals and takes these points as operating points. At the operating point, there are these equations

The degradation parameter of (2).
By using a small disturbance method, linear models of degradation parameters of all working condition points can be obtained, and linear models of the engine in a normal state and a performance degradation h state are obtained.
Referring to fig. 9, the upper and lower solid lines represent non-linear models of engine no degradation and performance degradation h, respectively. A series of small black dots represent different working points of the engine, and linearization is carried out at each working point to obtain a linear model. The upper and lower series of small dashed circles represent a series of small perturbation ranges without degradation and without degradation terms with degradation, respectively, and the large dashed circle represents a large perturbation range with degradation terms. Aiming at small perturbation uncertain linear models in the normal state and the degradation state of the engine, a series of linear degradation conservative robust controllers are respectively designed to obtain a linear degradation conservative robust controller group in the figure 1. The controller gain is then linearly interpolated between the selected operating points so that the closed loop system has good performance for all fixed parameter values. The parameter α is a scheduling parameter, which may be defined herein as a fan speed or a compressor speed of the aircraft engine, and may be measured in real time. Another scheduling variable of the control system is a degradation parameter h that reflects the degradation of the engine performance. The working principle is that a linear reduction conservative robust controller group resolving module in the figure 1 carries out linear interpolation according to a scheduling parameter and a degradation parameter to obtain a corresponding linear reduction conservative robust controller to control a system.
4. Interpolation of controller
This section illustrates the scheduling calculation principle of the linear-reduction conservative robust controller set calculation module in fig. 1 that obtains the corresponding linear-reduction conservative robust controller through scheduling parameter and degradation parameter scheduling linear interpolation.
In the normal state and the performance degradation h of the engine respectively base Designing a series of linear degradation conservative robust controllers under the state, and aiming at each selected working point alpha i And (5) controlling. This will result in the controller in the linear reduction conservative robust controller set solution module in FIG. 1
Figure BDA0002439600310000111
Then, the controller is interpolated according to the scheduling parameter alpha and the degradation parameter h, and then the obtained interpolated controller is used for controlling the system.
Referring to FIG. 10, two adjacent operating points α are selected according to the current engine scheduling parameter α i And alpha i+1 According to the engine at a selected operating point alpha i Actual degree of degradation of, controller K at engine performance degradation h i Using the selected operating point alpha i Controller K in normal state and performance degradation h-base state of engine i And

Likewise, the operating point α can be obtained i+1 Controller at actual degradation h
Figure BDA0002439600310000121
We use piecewise linear interpolation method to reduce conservative robust controller set K from linear 1 ,K 2 ,..,K n Linear interpolation is performed between each pair of controllers. A linear interpolation controller K (α) at the current degradation degree h of the current scheduling parameter α is obtained, i is 1,2
Figure BDA0002439600310000122
According to the formula, a corresponding controller under a certain degradation parameter of a certain scheduling parameter can be obtained, and the engine is effectively controlled.
5. Input restriction of a system
Referring to fig. 1, the input limit module in fig. 1 uses a multidimensional rectangular saturation function to model the physical limit on the control input of the system. Limiting inputs to aircraft engine controls, particularly for fuel flow inputs. The multidimensional saturation function may also handle other control input constraints including the throat area of the aft nozzle.
