The Nonlinear Single Controller of DGEN380 Aero Engine Design

Abstract EN

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.
