[0076] For the different optimization targets selected in step 2, each optimization target can be optimized by constructing an objective function for each optimization target. The following specific embodiments provide optimization processing methods for different optimization targets.

[0077] Based on the system architecture design optimization method for multi-subsystem integration provided by the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a multi-subsystem integrated system, wherein the multi-subsystems of the integrated system at least include a flight control subsystem, a hydraulic subsystem and a power subsystem of the aircraft; the system architecture design optimization method for multi-subsystem integration provided by any of the above-mentioned embodiments is used to obtain the selection form of the architecture of each subsystem in the integrated system.

At the same time, the constructed MDO-based optimization architecture system can support the application of similar application scenarios involving multidisciplinary optimization design.

[0080] The following is a schematic illustration of a multi-subsystem integrated system architecture design optimization method and a multi-subsystem integrated system implementation method provided by the present invention through some specific embodiments.

[0081] Example

[0082] like Figure 2 As shown, it is a flowchart of another multi-subsystem integrated system architecture design optimization method provided by an embodiment of the present invention; this embodiment provides a multi-subsystem integrated system architecture design optimization method for multiple subsystems (flight control subsystem, hydraulic subsystem, power subsystem) in an aircraft management system, and the design process includes the following steps:

[0083] Step 1, determine the design variables;

[0084] In this step, for the aircraft's flight control subsystem, hydraulic subsystem, and power subsystem, the flight control subsystem can choose different types of actuators; the hydraulic subsystem generally uses three hydraulic sources, combined with the independent or combined selection of three types of pumps in each hydraulic source to form three independent hydraulic sources; the power subsystem mainly considers various types of power supply forms.

[0085] The implementation process of step 1 may include:

[0086] Different types of actuators can be selected for the flight control subsystem of the aircraft. Therefore, the various selection forms of the actuators used in the flight control subsystem can be determined first, including: Selection form 1, all electric actuators are used; Selection form 2, all hydraulic actuators are used; Selection form 3, some electric actuators are used, and some hydraulic actuators are used. In this embodiment, the design variable used to represent the selection form of the flight control subsystem is represented by the variable "FCS Power Supply".

[0087] For the hydraulic subsystem of the aircraft, three hydraulic sources are generally used, combined with three types of pumps (including engine driven pump EDP, electric pump EMP, ram air turbine RAT), and each hydraulic source is configured with a pump used independently or in combination to form a variety of selection forms of the hydraulic subsystem. The three typical selection forms of the hydraulic subsystem in this embodiment include:

[0088] Selection form 1: Hydraulic source A: 1EDP; Hydraulic source B: 1EMP+1RAT; Hydraulic source C: 1EDP+1EMP;

[0089] Selection form 2: Hydraulic source A: 2EDP+1EMP+1RAT; Hydraulic source B: 1EDP+1EMP; Hydraulic source C: 1EDP+1EMP;

[0090] Selection form 3: Hydraulic source A: 1EDP+1EMP; Hydraulic source B: 1EMP; Hydraulic source C: 1EDP+1EMP;

[0091] In this embodiment, the design variable used to represent the selection form of the hydraulic subsystem is represented by "Hydraulic PowerSource".

[0092] For the aircraft power subsystem, the power supply forms are mainly considered, including: constant speed and constant frequency AC power supply, variable frequency AC power supply, and 270V high voltage DC power supply system. In this embodiment, the design variable used to represent the power supply form of the power subsystem is represented by "Power System Architecture".

[0093] Step 2, determine the optimization target, including: for the same type of serialized aircraft, including the following three types: conventional, short-range and long-range. Based on the requirements for operating costs and maintenance costs in the design of serialized aircraft, determine at least one optimization target that makes the operating costs and maintenance costs meet the revenue requirements.

[0094] Considering that the better the product performance is, the lower the operating cost and maintenance cost is, the greater the profit can be brought to the airline. Therefore, step 2 in this embodiment includes the following optimization target setting method:

[0095] On the one hand, the operating cost of airlines is mainly fuel consumption, which directly depends on specific fuel consumption (SFC), aircraft weight and flight route. Therefore, the total fuel consumption covering the load-range-frequency statistical diagram is selected as the first optimization target.

[0096] On the other hand, the maintenance cost of an aircraft mainly depends on the reliability of different components and the number of components, which is directly related to the architecture. The basic reliability of a product is related to the performance and service life of the product, so the basic reliability of the system is selected as the second optimization goal.

[0097] For the optimization target 1 determined in step 2, the optimization target 1 is optimized through the following steps 3 to 5, specifically including:

[0098] Step 3, constructing objective function 1 for optimization objective 1, including: constructing a total fuel consumption objective function, with the total fuel consumption objective function covering the load-range-frequency statistical diagram (PL-R diagram) as objective function 1. The implementation process of step 3 may include:

[0099] Step 3.1, according to the literature, obtain the load-range-frequency statistical diagram, that is, the PL-R diagram;

[0100] Step 3.2, the total fuel consumption of the three types of aircraft covering the PL-R diagram is taken as objective function 1, which is expressed as:

[0101]

[0102] Among them, M represents the total number of flights in the PL-R diagram, M1 represents the number of flights waiting to be flown by long-range aircraft in the PL-R diagram, M2 represents the number of flights waiting to be flown by conventional aircraft in the PL-R diagram, and M3 represents the number of flights waiting to be flown by short-range aircraft in the PL-R diagram; Flight fuel(i) represents the fuel consumption of each type of aircraft flying the i-th flight.

[0103] Step 4, outer optimization: Calculate the capability curves and total fuel consumption of the three types of aircraft without considering the quality changes of the flight control subsystem, hydraulic subsystem, and electrical subsystem in the aircraft management system.

[0104] The calculation method in step 4 is: based on the range calculation formula Breguet, and the balance relationship between the lift and gravity, thrust and drag of the aircraft, a discrete cruising range calculation formula and a calculation formula for the fuel required for a fixed range are established, and then the capacity curves of the three types of aircraft are determined, and the total fuel consumption of the three types of aircraft is calculated; the three types of aircraft are calculated respectively in the following manner:

[0105] Step 4.1, calculate the capacity curve of the long-range aircraft, the calculation method is: according to the maximum value of the ordinate and the maximum value of the abscissa of the PL-R diagram, select the maximum range value MaxRange and the maximum load value MaxPayload of the long-range aircraft, calculate the capacity curve of the long-range aircraft through the range calculation formula and the calculation formula of the fuel required for a fixed range, and judge whether the capacity curve meets the coverage condition, that is, whether it covers all the data points in the PL-R diagram. If it is judged that it can be covered, the capacity curve is determined as the capacity curve of the long-range aircraft; otherwise, the capacity curve is adjusted by increasing the maximum load value MaxPlayload until the calculated capacity curve of the long-range aircraft meets the coverage condition;

[0106] Step 42, calculating the capacity curves of conventional and short-range aircraft, and calculating the total fuel consumption of the three types of aircraft, including: initializing the maximum range value MaxRange and the maximum load value MaxPayload of the conventional and short-range aircraft, respectively calculating the capacity curves of the conventional and short-range aircraft by using the range calculation formula and the calculation formula of the fuel required for the fixed range; respectively determining the flight missions of the three types of aircraft in the PL-R diagram according to the capacity curves of the three types of aircraft, and calculating the total fuel consumption according to the objective function 1 in step 3;

[0107] Step 43, using an optimization algorithm, taking the total fuel consumption as the optimization target, and taking the maximum range value MaxRange and the maximum load value MaxPayload of conventional and short-range aircraft as variables for optimization, until the total fuel consumption meets the optimization stop condition; wherein, there are two methods for determining the optimization stop condition: fixing the number of optimization iterations, and the difference between the total fuel consumption calculated by two iterations is less than a set threshold.

[0108] Step 5, taking into account the quality changes of the flight control subsystem, hydraulic subsystem, and power subsystem in the aircraft management system, calculate the total fuel consumption of the three types of aircraft. The specific calculation process of step 5 may include:

[0109] Step 51, calculating the fuel mass carried by the three types of aircraft, including: according to the maximum range value MaxRange and the maximum load value MaxPayload of the three types of aircraft determined in step 41 and step 42, by using a calculation formula for the fuel required for the fixed range, calculating the fuel mass carried by the three types of aircraft as the initial value of the fuel mass carried by the three types of aircraft;

[0110] Step 52, performing convergence calculation on the fuel mass carried by the three types of aircraft, including: initializing the values ​​of the design variables of the flight control subsystem, the hydraulic subsystem and the electric power subsystem, and calculating the maximum take-off weight of the three types of aircraft in combination with the calculated initial values ​​of the fuel mass carried by the three types of aircraft; updating the fuel mass carried by the three types of aircraft according to the maximum take-off weight of the three types of aircraft and the calculated capacity curves of the three types of aircraft, and recalculating the maximum take-off weight of the three types of aircraft according to the updated fuel mass, until the fuel mass meets the convergence condition; wherein, the convergence condition judgment method is: the difference between the fuel mass carried by the three types of aircraft obtained by two iterative calculations is less than a set threshold.

[0111] Step 53, based on the fuel masses carried by the three types of aircraft obtained by convergence calculation, calculate the total fuel consumption of the three types of aircraft in consideration of the mass changes of the flight control subsystem, the hydraulic subsystem, and the electric power subsystem in the aircraft management system.

[0112] For the optimization target 2 determined in step 2, the optimization target 2 is optimized through the following steps 6 to 7, which specifically include:

[0113] Step 6, construct objective function 2 for optimization objective 2, including: constructing a basic system reliability objective function, that is, the overall system reliability function formed by connecting the flight control subsystem, hydraulic subsystem, and power subsystem of the three types of aircraft in series, as the basic system reliability objective function.

[0114] It should be noted that the failure rate is the characteristic parameter of the system's basic reliability objective function. The basic reliability of objective function 2 is equal to the sum of the failure rates of each device in the flight control subsystem, hydraulic subsystem, and power subsystem of the three types of aircraft.

[0115] Step 7, calculating the basic reliability of the system, including: for the flight control subsystem, hydraulic subsystem, and power subsystem of the three types of aircraft, substituting the corresponding equipment failure rate data under multiple sets of design variables into objective function 2 for calculation, and obtaining the basic reliability of the system corresponding to each set of design variables.

[0116] After optimizing the above optimization target 1 and optimization target 2, the method provided in this embodiment further includes the following steps:

[0117] Step 8, forming a feasible solution for selecting a system architecture of multiple subsystems through genetic algorithm optimization;

[0118] The implementation method of this step includes: setting the probability of selection, crossover and mutation, population size and number of iterations; generating multiple individuals in the initial population according to multiple sets of design variables, calculating the objective function 1 and objective function 2 values ​​of each individual in the initial population, and sorting the individuals in the population based on the calculated values ​​(sorting algorithm: non-dominated quick sort, crowding calculation); calling selection, crossover and mutation functions to form new individuals; calculating the values ​​of objective function 1 and objective function 2 of the new individuals, sorting the current population and the new individuals, and updating the population according to the sorting results; and then calling selection, crossover and mutation functions again to form new individuals until the convergence conditions are met to form a feasible solution set for the system architecture selection of multiple subsystems; the convergence condition of this step is: number of iterations.

[0119] Step 9, generating a Pareto frontier based on the feasible solution set of the system architecture selection of the multi-subsystem obtained in step 8, and determining the final selected system architecture, including: determining the Pareto frontier (i.e., a solution that cannot improve the value of one objective function without reducing the value of the other objective function) for the feasible solution set of objective function 1 and objective function 2. The Pareto frontier represents the trade-off between the achievable limit and the optimization goal. The specific solution to be selected (which architecture combination form and equipment selection) depends on the specific needs and preferences of the decision maker. For example, if the decision maker pays more attention to the operating cost (fuel consumption), he may tend to choose the solution close to the left side of the frontier (the horizontal axis represents fuel consumption); if the decision maker pays more attention to the maintenance cost (basic system reliability), he may choose the solution close to the bottom of the frontier (the vertical axis represents basic reliability).

[0120] The following two implementation examples illustrate the selection of system architecture using the multi-subsystem integrated system architecture design optimization method provided in this embodiment.

[0121] Implementation Example 1:

[0122] The values ​​of the design variables are:

[0123] Design variable 1, "FCS Power Supply" takes values ​​of 0 and 1. "0" means all hydraulic actuators are selected, and "1" means all electro-hydraulic actuators are selected.

[0124] Design variable 2, “Hydraulic Power Source” takes values ​​of 0, 1, and 2; “0” represents the architecture of 1EDP+1EMP+1RAT+1EDP+1EMP; “1” represents the architecture of 2EDP+1EMP+1RAT+1EDP+1EMP+1RAT+1EDP+1EMP+1EDP+1EMP. “2” represents the architecture of 1EDP+1EMP+1EMP+1EMP+1EMP.

[0125] Design variable 3, "Power System Architecture" takes values ​​of 0, 1, and 2. "0" indicates a constant speed and frequency AC power supply system, including the main power supply, secondary power supply, auxiliary power supply, emergency power supply, generator transformer rectifier, etc. 1 indicates an alternating frequency AC power supply system, including the main power supply, secondary power supply, auxiliary power supply, and emergency power supply, etc. "2" is a 270V high-voltage mainstream power supply system, including the main power supply, auxiliary power supply, secondary power supply, etc.

[0126] The optimization results obtained are:

[0127] First, there are duplicate solutions among the 100 solutions obtained in the last generation of optimization. For example, the second and third solutions are the same, and the first and fourth solutions are also the same. After merging the same solutions, it is found that there are actually only 20 unique solutions that constitute the Pareto frontier. Figure 3 , which is a schematic diagram of the Pareto front result in implementation example 1 of the present invention.

[0128] Next, the 20 unique solutions are marked in the Pareto front diagram. For example, for solution No. 1 in the figure, although it performs well in fuel consumption (objective function 1), it is relatively high in reliability (objective function 2).

[0129] Since all solutions on the Pareto front are optimal solutions under certain trade-offs, the choice of which solution depends on the specific needs and preferences of the decision maker. In practical applications, it is often necessary to find a balance between multiple objectives. Through comprehensive analysis, it is found that solutions 8 to 13 have achieved a good balance between fuel consumption and reliability, so they can be used as alternative solutions. For example, compared with solution 7, solution 8 can significantly improve reliability by only slightly increasing fuel consumption; similarly, compared with solution 14, solution 13 can significantly reduce fuel consumption at the expense of a small amount of reliability. Therefore, from a compromise perspective, solutions 8 to 13 are better choices. Taking an example, the architecture selection corresponding to Solution 8 is: long-range aircraft: the flight control subsystem uses electric actuators; the hydraulic subsystem selects 1EDP+1EMP+1RAT+1EDP+1EMP; the power subsystem selects a cross-frequency AC power supply system; conventional aircraft: the flight control subsystem uses hydraulic actuators; the hydraulic subsystem selects 1EDP+1EMP+1EMP+1EMP+1EMP; the power subsystem selects a 270V high-voltage mainstream power supply system; short-range aircraft: the flight control subsystem uses electric actuators; the hydraulic subsystem selects 1EDP+1EMP+1RAT+1EDP+1EMP; the power subsystem selects a cross-frequency AC power supply system.

"1" means the pressure is 21MPA, and the configuration is: hydraulic source A2EDP+1EMP+1RAT, hydraulic source B1EDP+1EMP, hydraulic source C1EDP+1EMP.

"4" means the pressure is 21MPA, and the configuration is: hydraulic source A1EDP+1EMP, hydraulic source B2EMP+1RAT, hydraulic source C1EDP+1EMP. "5" means the pressure is 21MPA, and the configuration is: hydraulic source A2EDP+1EMP, hydraulic source B2EDP+1EMP. "6" means the pressure is 35MPA, and the configuration is: hydraulic source A1EDP, hydraulic source B1EMP+1RAT, hydraulic source C1EDP+1EMP. "7" means the pressure is 35MPA, and the configuration is: hydraulic source A2EDP+1EMP+1RAT, hydraulic source B1EDP+1EMP, hydraulic source C1EDP+1EMP. "8" means the pressure is 351MPA, and the configuration is: hydraulic source A1EDP+1EMP, hydraulic source B1EMP, hydraulic source C1EDP+1EMP. "9" means the pressure is 35MPA, and the configuration is: hydraulic source A2EDP+1EMP, hydraulic source B2EMP+1RAT, hydraulic source C1EDP+1EMP. "10" means the pressure is 35MPA, and the configuration is: hydraulic source A1EDP+1EMP, hydraulic source B2EMP+1RAT, hydraulic source C1EDP+1EMP. "11" means the pressure is 351MPA, and the configuration is: hydraulic source A2EDP+1EMP, hydraulic source B2EDP+1EMP.

[0135] Design variable 3, "Power System Architecture", takes values ​​of 0, 1, and 2. "0" indicates a constant speed and frequency AC power supply system, including the main power supply, secondary power supply, auxiliary power supply, emergency power supply, generator transformer rectifier, etc. 1 indicates an alternating frequency AC power supply system, including the main power supply, secondary power supply, auxiliary power supply, and emergency power supply, etc. "2" is a 270V high-voltage mainstream power supply system, including the main power supply, auxiliary power supply, secondary power supply, etc.

[0136] The optimization results obtained are:

[0137] First, there are duplicate solutions in the 200 solutions obtained by optimization in the last generation. After merging the same solutions, it is found that there are actually only 39 unique solutions that constitute the Pareto frontier. Figure 4 , which is a schematic diagram of the Pareto front result in implementation example 2 of the present invention.

[0138] Next, the 39 unique solutions are marked in the Pareto front diagram. For example, for solution No. 1 in the figure, although it performs well in fuel consumption (objective function 1), it is relatively high in reliability (objective function 2).

[0139] Since all solutions on the Pareto front are optimal solutions under certain trade-offs, the choice of which solution depends on the specific needs and preferences of the decision maker. In practical applications, it is often necessary to find a balance between multiple objectives. Through comprehensive analysis, it is found that solutions 11 to 29 have achieved a good balance between fuel consumption and reliability, so they can be used as alternative solutions. For example, compared with solution 10, solution 11 can significantly improve reliability by only slightly increasing fuel consumption; similarly, compared with solution 30, solution 29 can significantly reduce fuel consumption at the expense of a small amount of reliability. Therefore, from a compromise point of view, solutions 11 to 29 are better choices. For example, for long-range aircraft: the flight control subsystem uses distributed electro-hydraulic braking; the hydraulic subsystem uses a pressure of 35MPA, and the configuration is: hydraulic source A1EDP, hydraulic source B1EMP+1RAT, hydraulic source C1EDP+1EMP; the power subsystem uses an alternating-frequency AC power supply system. Conventional aircraft: The flight control system uses distributed hydraulic brakes; the hydraulic subsystem uses a pressure of 35MPA, and the configuration is: hydraulic source A1EDP+1EMP, hydraulic source B2EMP+1RAT, hydraulic source C1EDP+1EMP; the power subsystem uses a 270V high-voltage mainstream power system. Short-range aircraft: The flight control subsystem uses distributed hydraulic brakes; the hydraulic subsystem uses a pressure of 35MPA, and the configuration is: hydraulic source A1EDP, hydraulic source B1EMP+1RAT, hydraulic source C1EDP+1EMP; the power subsystem uses an alternating-frequency AC power system.
