Abstract

The advanced nonlinear sliding mode control method of DGEN380 aero engine is presented in this paper. This aero engine is a small high bypass ratio turbofan engine by which the nonlinear control approach of the aero engine is invested. And this paper focuses on the power management function of the aero engine control system which includes steady control and transient control. The mathematical model of DGEN380 aero engine is built by a set of nonlinear dynamic equation that is validated by experimental data. The single controller based on sliding mode approach is designed that can keep some certain thrust levels during steady state and maintain repeatable performance during transient operation from one requested thrust level to another. The single controller can offset the impact of the signal noise and harmonic disturbance at a certain power point. And the dynamic performance of the single controller is satisfactory at the transient process. The experiment is conducted by aero engine test bench for the single control.

Summary

Introduction

A new configuration of the small aero engine, DGEN380 aero engine, is presented in this research. The DGEN380 aero engine which is a turbofan engine has been designed to motorize private flight aircraft. The DGEN380 aero engine is modern and innovative in its geared architecture, even more so in its “all-electric” design for all the equipment around the engine, all the pumps of DGEN380 being not mechanically but electrically driven. This aero engine can be used for the investment of the control approach. The advanced control approach of the aero engine is analyzed by the DGEN380 real engine test bench. Nonlinear control approach is concerned by DGEN380 real engine test bench
