Formation of dynamic models of gas turbine engines for use in automatic control and diagnostic systems
Abstract
The subject of the study is the process of forming a mathematical model (MM) of an aviation gas turbine engine, which provides the calculation of parameters of the work process in stable and transient operating modes for use in the evaluation of dynamic characteristics, in the analysis and synthesis of automatic engine and aircraft control systems, as part of aviation simulators, and in on-board control and diagnostics algorithms. The goal is to substantiate the structure and methodology of MM formation, intended for use in real and accelerated time scale systems. Task: formulation of requirements for MM, substantiation of the interaction between static and dynamic submodels, substantiation of the composition of arguments and the way of considering the influence of external conditions, as well as the position of the elements of the mechanization of the gas flow duct. For this, the methods of the theory of airjet engines are used. The following results were obtained: the requirements for MM of aircraft gas turbine engines designed to solve the problems of engine and aircraft control were formulated, and the structural forms of MM were substantiated, which ensure high accuracy of modeling with minimal complexity and the possibility of real-time implementation. The scientific and practical novelty of the obtained results is as follows: the requirements for dynamic MM of aircraft engines have been summarized, the problems of structural implementation and combination of static and dynamic submodels, the rational selection of their input parameters and considering the influence of external conditions on static and dynamic characteristics have been analyzed, the software implementation of MM in in the Matlab Simulink environment of a two-shaft turbofan engine and compared the simulation results obtained using the developed simplified MM and the original nonlinear thermo-gas-dynamic model based on the solution of the joint operation equations of components. It is shown that in the working range of modes, the MM error does not exceed 5%, the dynamic errors of the rotor rotation frequencies are less than 4%, the compressor pressure and gas temperature are less than 7%, or the thrust is less than 10%. Errors in estimating the duration of acceleration and deceleration of the engine are within 0.2...0.6 s.
