Compressor Degradation Management Strategies for Gas Turbine Aero-Engine Controller Design

The Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe (ACARE) Flight Path 2050 focuses on ambitious and severe targets the next generation of air travel systems (e.g., 75% reduction CO2 emissions per passenger kilometre, a 90% NOx emissions, 65% noise flying aircraft relative to capabilities typical new 2000). Degradation is an inevitable phenomenon as aero-engines age with significant impacts engine performance, level, fuel consumption. control system key element capable coping degradation consequences subject implementation advanced management strategy. This paper demonstrates methodological approach aero-engine controller adjustment deal implications, such emission levels increased For this purpose, component level model was first built transformed block-structured Wiener using identification approach. An industrial Min-Max strategy then developed satisfy steady state transient limit protection requirements simultaneously while satisfying physical limitation modes, over-speed, surge, over-temperature. Next, effects performance associated changes were analysed thoroughly propose practical strategies based comprehensive scientometric analysis topic. simulation results show that proposed effective restoring degraded clean protecting from limitations. adjustments reduced consumption and, result, carbon footprint engine.
