Background
At present, the engine control does not get rid of the design idea of the traditional control, and the powerful computing power and the logic function of a computer are not fully utilized. The traditional engine control is based on sensor control, namely, performance parameters such as thrust, surge margin and the like of an engine are indirectly controlled through measurable engine state parameters such as rotating speed, pressure ratio, temperature and the like. Although the control mode is simple and reliable, the change situation of the surge margin in the working process of the engine is difficult to accurately reflect, the loss of the stability margin under the worst working environment of the engine needs to be considered in the design process, and even the full exertion of the performance of the engine is limited. With the updating of fighters, the fifth generation of fighters put forward high performance requirements on the engine such as high efficiency, high thrust-weight ratio, high stability and the like. However, with the rapid development of full-authority digital electronic control, the performance of traditional engine control is brought into full play, and to further improve the overall performance of the engine from the control perspective, the surge margin needs to be estimated in real time and actively controlled.
Most of the current aircraft engines feed back real-time working states on line through an airborne adaptive model, and then calculate a surge margin as a feedback quantity to form a direct surge margin closed-loop control loop. However, at present, most of the research on model base at home and abroad focuses on the simulation stage, and is rarely reported in the practical application of engineering. The reason is mainly that the airborne adaptive model cannot realize zero-error matching with a real engine due to the fact that the accuracy of the airborne adaptive model cannot realize zero-error matching, certain errors exist, the airborne adaptive model cannot carry out high-accuracy estimation on the surge margin in a wide range, and the engine instability can be caused when the engine is directly subjected to closed-loop feedback control based on the inaccurate surge margin.

Detailed Description
Aiming at the problem that surge margin estimation data generated by the existing airborne self-adaptive model cannot meet the precision requirement required by engine control, the invention adopts the technical scheme that the existing airborne self-adaptive model is improved, the near surge range surge margin estimation data with extremely high confidence coefficient, which is obtained by adopting a surge margin estimation method based on the pressure measurement of the blade tips of a compressor, is used as feedback, and the surge boundary of an engine nonlinear model in the airborne self-adaptive model is corrected, so that the corrected airborne self-adaptive model can output wide-range high-confidence coefficient surge margin estimation data which can meet the actual control requirement of an aircraft engine.
The basic implementation of a surge margin estimation method based on compressor tip pressure measurement (see [ Manuj Dhingra. compressor Stability Management [ D ]// American: georgia insulation of technology.2006]) is as follows: calculating a similarity coefficient for measuring the repeatability of the pressure pulsation signal according to the pressure pulsation signal near the blade obtained by the pressure sensor; secondly, selecting a proper threshold to calculate the intersection times of two function lines of the similarity coefficient and the threshold in unit time, obtaining the inherent characteristic relation between the intersection times and the surge margin in unit time according to the off-line analysis of test data, and establishing an engine surge margin estimation model based on the pressure of the blade tips of the compressor; according to the engine surge margin estimation model, the surge margin of the engine can be accurately estimated through an interpolation method.
The surge margin estimation method based on the measurement of the pressure of the blade tip of the air compressor can achieve more reliable surge margin estimation than the existing airborne adaptive model, and the reliability of the method is not influenced by the performance degradation of the engine; however, through a large number of experiments, the scheme can meet the requirement of accuracy, but only has high confidence in a near-surge range, and cannot be used for active control of the surge margin of the engine.
Therefore, the inventor proposes that a surge margin estimation method based on the measurement of the pressure of the blade tip of the compressor is organically combined with the existing onboard adaptive model surge margin estimation method so as to realize the wide-range high-confidence surge margin estimation.
For the public to understand, the technical scheme of the invention is explained in detail by a specific embodiment and the accompanying drawings:
the structure of the aircraft engine surge margin estimation model of the embodiment is shown in fig. 1, and comprises an onboard adaptive model and a correction module (a dotted line part in the figure) for correcting a surge boundary of an engine nonlinear model in the onboard adaptive model.
The airborne adaptive Model in this embodiment adopts an airborne adaptive hybrid Model Based on neural network nonlinear compensation (see [ Csank J T, common J w. enhanced Engine Performance Using a Model-Based Engine Control Architecture [ C ]// Aiaa/sae/ase Joint Performance reference. 2015]), which can eliminate the errors between the Engine nonlinear Model and the actual Engine component Performance parameters, and expand the applicable range of the Model, and mainly includes three parts: the engine comprises an engine nonlinear model, a Kalman filter and a neural network learning algorithm.
As shown in fig. 1, the neural network learning algorithm is used to learn the true engine versus model measurable output residual offline when the switch is in the "learn" position. The input parameters for neural network learning comprise working condition parameters, engine input parameters and measurable output parameter residuals. When the switch is in an application position, a sample database obtained from the offline learning result of the neural network is selected to compensate the estimation parameters output by the airborne nonlinear model, the individual difference of the engine is eliminated, and then the Kalman filtering algorithm is adopted to estimate the performance degradation of the part so as to automatically correct the nonlinear model of the engine, thereby improving the precision of the model.
In order to solve the redundancy problem of the training data in the full-envelope online, the method of clustering (preferably adopting Gaussian clustering) is adopted to carry out airborne real-time clustering compression on the flight data in the specific embodiment, GMM (Gaussian Mixture model) is constructed in real time online, and a GMM sample database is obtained; and when the characteristic data after clustering is added to an MLP (Multi layer Perceptron) training sample set in an offline non-real-time stage, learning and updating to obtain an MLP sample database.
In the embodiment, estimated data of the surge margin in the near surge range obtained by a surge margin estimation method based on the measurement of the pressure of the blade tip of the compressor is used as the target output of the surge margin in the near surge range of the airborne adaptive model, and the surge boundary of the engine nonlinear model in the airborne adaptive model is corrected by using a neural network learning algorithm, which is specifically realized by using the neural network 2 in fig. 1.
The training process of the invention is divided into measurable parameter training and non-measurable parameter training of the aero-engine. The measurable parameter training is the training process of the airborne self-adaptive model, and the mapping relation between the neural network and a real engine is established by building the neural network 1 in the figure 1; the method comprises the steps of carrying out non-measurable parameter training, namely a training process of a surge margin model, estimating a surge margin according to a tip pressure signal measured from a real engine, if the real engine is in a near-surge range, comparing the surge margin with the surge margin estimated by a nonlinear engine model to obtain a residual error, establishing a mapping relation between the residual error and input parameters and measurable parameters of the engine by utilizing a neural network learning algorithm, and correcting a surge boundary of the nonlinear engine model through the mapping relation.
