Abstract
Big data processing technologies, e.g., multi-sensor data fusion and cloud computing are being widely used in research, development, manufacturing, health monitoring and maintenance of aero-engines, driven by the ever-rapid development of intelligent manufacturing and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). This has promoted rapid development of the aircraft engine industry, increasing the aircraft engine safety, reliability and intelligence. At present, the aero-engine data computing and processing platform used in the industrial Internet of things is not complete, and the numerical calculation and control of aero-engine are inseparable from the linear model, while the existing aero-engine model linearization method is not accurate enough to quickly calculate the dynamic process parameters of the engine. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a linear model of turbofan engine for intelligent analysis in IIoT, with the aim to provide a new perspective for the analysis of engine dynamics. The construction of the proposed model includes three steps: First, a nonlinear mathematical model of a turbofan engine is established by adopting the component modeling approach. Then, numerous parameters of the turbofan engine components and their operating data are obtained by simulating various working conditions. Finally, based on the simulated data for the engine under these conditions, the model at the points during the dynamic process is linearized, such that a dynamic real-time linearized model of turbofan engine is obtained. Simulation results show that the proposed model can accurately depict the dynamic process of the turbofan engine and provide a valuable reference for designing the aero-engine control system and supporting intelligent analysis in IIoT.
Highlights
The civil aviation traffic and industry are booming and developing rapidly, aircraft flight accidents still occur frequently [1]
To address the aforementioned issues, we propose an accurate dynamic real-time analysis based linear model for turbofan engine which mainly contributes in the following aspects: 1 The analytical method we proposed is based on the model of component development, which is more universal and can be applied to analyze and calculate linear models for different types of aero-engines
In this paper, we have proposed a linear model of the turbofan engine to enable intelligent analysis towards Industrial Internet of Things
Summary
The civil aviation traffic and industry are booming and developing rapidly, aircraft flight accidents still occur frequently [1]. In [12], Hugh et al introduces IIoT technology, which aims to integrate various collectors, sensors and controllers having the abilities of sensing and monitoring into the production and operation of the aero-engine industry. To support efficient/intelligent analysis for turbofan engine in IIoT especially in the presence of big industrial data, the following challenges have to be confronted and addressed: 1) the linear steady-state model based on small deviation mode cannot accurately describe the real working state of the turbofan engine [24]; 2) existing data processing capability of the aero-engine control system is limited [19]; 3) existing models cannot be adapted to the big data analysis in IIoT. V concludes the paper and discusses the future directions of research
