Abstract
LibertyWorks™ (Rolls-Royce North American Technologies Inc.) is developing an integrated environment for design, development, testing, and integration of current and future decentralized gas turbine engine control systems. This paper serves as a mid-project status update to solicit recommendations from industry and academia on what might be done to make it better, and to give the community a preview. Identified as the Decentralized Engine Control System Simulator (DECSS), this system has the capabilities to support flexible, decentralized control system architectures containing both simulated and physical hardware-in-the-loop control components. Neither the DECSS nor the project developing the DECSS will make a selection of a preferred control system architecture/design method, nor a preferred communication architecture/protocol, but instead will provide a flexible environment for future users to rapidly evaluate potential solutions in a real-time environment with hardware in the loop. This paper describes the DECSS functions, capabilities, organization and how it will be used as a NASA asset for future engine control system development.
