Abstract
A fault tolerant multivariable control system for a military turbofan engine has been developed at Volvo Aero Corporation in cooperation with University of Trollhättan/Uddevalla. Nonlinear multivariable controllers designed as scheduled linear H∞-controllers is used for engine control and the system is designed with multiple control modes to be able to get a more optimal control strategy. For the F404-RM12 engine multiple sensor faults can be tolerated with only minor control impact. Both analytical sensor redundancy and estimation of non-measurable engine parameters have been used to achieve this. The concept also adapts for engine-to-engine variations.
