MULTIVARIABLE CONTROL DESIGN FOR A JET ENGINE

摘要

A multivariable control concept for a jet engine is proposed and investigated in this paper. The feedback control law is based on H_∞-design. The control concept is applied to the RM12 jet engine for the Swedish fighter aircraft JAS 39 Gripen in a research program for future advanced control. The controller has so far been developed for the core engine operating range, at sea level static conditions, and evaluated via simulation with a detailed non-linear model. This evaluation clearly shows the potential of using more advanced control methods in the area of jet engine control.
