Abstract
Abstract The wide flight range and high torsional vibration frequency of high-speed helicopters impose stricter criteria for the high-bandwidth control of turboshaft engines. Consequently, research is underway to implement a high-bandwidth control method for turboshaft engines using the linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) theory. Initially, the LADRC is designed based on the mathematical model of the integrated helicopter/engine system. To address the challenge of maintaining control quality with varying speed reference commands for the power turbine, an improved LADRC method with tracking differentiators (TD) is developed. Numerical simulations comparing the control effectiveness of LADRC with TD to cascade PID and conventional LADRC methods are conducted. The results demonstrate that the improved LADRC gains have a wider tuning range than the LADRC controller, and the power turbine speed tracking effect of LADRC with TD is optimal. It is more conducive to accomplish high-bandwidth control of turboshaft engine with variable rotational speed.
