Output tracking anti-disturbance control for turbofan systems

A new output tracking (OT) control strategy is established for the turbofan systems in-volved by multiple disturbances, the measurable disturbance and unmeasurable distur-bance. The control aim is to improve the OT performance, while restraining the effect of the multiple disturbances on the turbofan systems. First, an observer is formed to estimate the unmeasurable modeled disturbance. Next, a controller depending on the observer is built to capture the OT performance and the multiple disturbance restrain performance. The designed controller not only combines the disturbance estimation and the output er-ror, but also takes advantage of the available signal to be tracked. By such a controller, the OT performance is enhanced. In the end, the developed OT anti-disturbance control scheme is performed on a hardware-in-loop simulation platform inserted with the turbo-fan system model to improve the OT performance of the turbofan system.& COPY; 2023 Published by Elsevier Inc.

Automated summary

A new output tracking control strategy is proposed for turbofan systems affected by multiple disturbances. The aim is to improve the output tracking performance while mitigating the effect of the disturbances. An observer is used to estimate the unmeasurable modeled disturbance and a corresponding controller is designed to optimize the output tracking performance and disturbance restraint. The developed control scheme is implemented on a hardware-in-loop simulation platform to enhance the output tracking performance of the turbofan system.
