Description
Technical Field

[0002] Series design of aircraft avionics systems is a method of simultaneously designing multiple products within a certain market scope. The advantage of this design approach is that if some components, parts, or processes are shared among different products, acquisition costs can be reduced, as well as development and production costs.
[0003] Aircraft management systems (AMS) are complex systems engineering projects integrating aviation electromechanical and flight control designs. They encompass multiple subsystems and devices, including flight control, hydraulics, electrical systems, and environmental control. The system architecture design of an AMS involves defining a clear conceptual model of the system architecture and behavior for this integrated system of multiple subsystems. How to conduct comprehensive optimization design of the architecture of multiple subsystems from the top-level system architecture stage in the early conceptual model design phase is crucial to the functionality, performance, and future mission requirements of the next-generation AMS.
[0004] Current system architecture design methods for multi-subsystem integration often rely on experience or existing mature system architectures, without quantitatively weighing system architecture trade-offs. Sometimes, they only consider a small subset of all possible architectures and offer trade-offs based on semi-quantitative metrics (primarily experience-based). However, these traditional system architecture design methods can be influenced by expert bias, subjectivity, conservatism, or overconfidence. Summary of the Invention

[0076] For different optimization targets selected in step 2, the optimization can be performed by constructing the target function form of each optimization target, and the optimization processing modes of different optimization targets are provided in the following specific embodiments.
[0077] Based on the multi-subsystem comprehensive system architecture design optimization method provided in the above embodiments of the present application, the embodiment of the present application further provides a comprehensive system of multiple subsystems, wherein the multiple subsystems of the comprehensive system at least include the flight control subsystem, the hydraulic subsystem and the electric power subsystem of the aircraft; and the selection form of the architecture of each subsystem in the comprehensive system is obtained by using the multi-subsystem comprehensive system architecture design optimization method provided in any of the above embodiments.
[0078] This invention provides a system architecture design optimization method for multi-subsystem integration, as well as a comprehensive system of multi-subsystems. This system architecture design optimization method considers multiple subsystems within the system.

Under the premise of clearly defined design variables and optimization objectives, facing a large number of architectural configuration combinations for flight control subsystems, electrical subsystems, and hydraulic subsystems, the optimization algorithm finds the global optimal solution and provides guidance for the development of subsystems in the future to improve overall performance indicators. At the same time, the optimized architecture system based on MDO can support similar application scenarios involving multidisciplinary optimization design.
[0080] The following specific embodiments illustrate the system architecture design optimization method for multi-subsystem integration provided by the present invention, as well as the implementation method of the integrated multi-subsystem system.
[0081] Example
[0082] like Figure 2 The diagram shows a flowchart of another system architecture design optimization method for multi-subsystem integration provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a system architecture design optimization method for multi-subsystem integration in an aircraft management system (flight control subsystem, hydraulic subsystem, and electrical subsystem). The design process includes the following steps:
[0083] Step 1: Determine the design variables;
[0084] In this step, for the flight control subsystem, hydraulic subsystem and power subsystem of the aircraft, the flight control subsystem can select different types of actuator execution mechanisms; 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 this step 1 can include:
[0086] For the flight control subsystem of the aircraft, different types of actuator execution mechanisms can be selected, so that the multiple selection forms of the actuator execution mechanisms used by the flight control subsystem can be determined first, including: selection form 1, all using electric actuation execution mechanisms; selection form 2, all using hydraulic actuation execution mechanisms; selection form 3, part using electric actuation execution mechanisms and part using hydraulic actuation execution mechanisms. The design variable used to represent the selection form of the flight control subsystem in this embodiment 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), by configuring independent or combined pumps for each hydraulic source, to form multiple selection forms of the hydraulic subsystem. The selection forms of three typical hydraulic subsystems 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] The design variable used to represent the selection form of the hydraulic subsystem in this embodiment is represented by “Hydraulic Power Source”.
[0092] For the power subsystem of the aircraft, the power supply forms mainly considered include: constant speed and constant frequency alternating current power supply, variable frequency alternating current power supply, and 270V high voltage direct current power supply system. The design variable used to represent the power supply form of the power subsystem in this embodiment is represented by “Power System Architecture”.
[0093] Step 2, determining optimization target, including: for the same type of series aircraft, including the following three types: regular type, short-range type and long-range type. Based on the requirements of operating cost and maintenance cost in the design of series aircraft, at least one optimization target is determined to make the operating cost and maintenance cost meet the income demand.
[0094] Considering that the better the product performance is for the design, the lower the operating cost and maintenance cost are, and the greater the income that can be brought to the airline is. Therefore, step 2 in the embodiment includes the following optimization target setting method:
[0095] On the one hand, the operating cost of the airline is mainly fuel consumption, which directly depends on the specific fuel consumption (SFC), the weight of the aircraft and the flight route. Therefore, the total fuel consumption covering the load-range-frequency statistical chart is selected as the first optimization target.
[0096] On the other hand, the maintenance cost of the 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 the product is related to the performance and service life of the product, so the system basic reliability is selected as the second optimization target.
[0097] For the optimization target 1 determined in step 2, the optimization target 1 is optimized by the following steps 3-5, specifically including:
[0098] Step 3, constructing target function 1 for optimization target 1, including: constructing total fuel consumption target function, taking the total fuel consumption target function of the load-range-frequency statistical chart (PL-R chart) as the target function 1. The implementation process of this step 3 can include:
[0099] Step 3.1, according to the literature, obtaining the load-range-frequency statistical chart, i.e. PL-R chart;
[0100] Step 3.2, taking the total fuel consumption of the three types of aircraft covering the PL-R chart as the target function 1, expressed as:
[0101]
[0102] Wherein, M represents the total number of flights in the PL-R chart, M1 represents the number of flights to be flown by the long-range aircraft in the PL-R chart, M2 represents the number of flights to be flown by the regular aircraft in the PL-R chart, and M3 represents the number of flights to be flown by the short-range aircraft in the PL-R chart; Flight fuel(i) represents the fuel consumption of each type of aircraft flying the i th flight.
[0103] Step 4, outer layer optimization: calculate the capability curves and total fuel consumption of the three types of aircraft without considering the mass changes of the flight control subsystem, hydraulic subsystem and power subsystem in the aircraft management system.
[0104] The calculation method in this step 4 is: based on the Breguet range calculation formula and the balance relationship between the lift and gravity of the aircraft and the thrust and resistance, a discrete cruise state range calculation formula and a fixed range fuel consumption calculation formula are established, and then the capability 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 by the following methods respectively:
[0105] Step 4.1, calculate the capability curve of the long-range type aircraft, the calculation method is: according to the maximum value of the longitudinal coordinate and the maximum value of the horizontal coordinate of the PL-R graph, select the maximum range value MaxRange and the maximum load value MaxPayload of the long-range type aircraft, calculate the capability curve of the long-range type aircraft through the range calculation formula and the fixed range fuel consumption calculation formula, judge whether the capability curve meets the coverage condition, that is, whether it covers all data points in the PL-R graph, when it is judged to be covered, the capability curve is determined as the capability curve of the long-range type aircraft; otherwise, adjust the capability curve by increasing the maximum load value MaxPlayload until the calculated capability curve of the long-range type aircraft meets the coverage condition;
[0106] Step 42, calculate the capability curves of the regular type and short-range type aircrafts, and calculate 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 regular type and short-range type aircrafts, calculating the capability curves of the regular type and short-range type aircrafts through the range calculation formula and the fixed range fuel consumption calculation formula respectively; according to the capability curves of the three types of aircraft, determine the flight tasks of the three types of aircraft in the PL-R graph, and calculate the total fuel consumption according to the objective function 1 in step 3;
[0107] Step 43, use an optimization algorithm to optimize the total fuel consumption as the optimization target and the maximum range value MaxRange and the maximum load value MaxPayload of the regular type and short-range type aircrafts as variables until the total fuel consumption meets the optimization stopping condition; wherein there are two methods to judge the optimization stopping condition: fixed optimization iteration times, and the difference between the total fuel consumption calculated by two iterations is less than a set threshold.
[0108] Step 5, calculate the total fuel consumption of the three types of aircraft considering the mass changes of the flight control subsystem, hydraulic subsystem and power subsystem in the aircraft management system. The specific calculation process of this step 5 can 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 payload value MaxPayload of the three types of aircraft determined in steps 41 and 42, 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 through the calculation formula of the fuel required for a fixed range;
[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 power subsystem, combining the initial value of the fuel mass carried by the three types of aircraft calculated, calculating the maximum take-off weight of the three types of aircraft; according to the maximum take-off weight of the three types of aircraft and the calculated capability curve of the three types of aircraft, updating the fuel mass carried by 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: the difference between the fuel masses carried by the three types of aircraft calculated by two iterations is less than a set threshold.
[0111] Step 53, calculating the total fuel consumption of the three types of aircraft considering the mass changes of the flight control subsystem, the hydraulic subsystem and the power subsystem in the aircraft management system according to the fuel mass carried by the three types of aircraft obtained by the convergence calculation.
[0112] For the optimization target 2 determined in step 2, the optimization target 2 is optimized through steps 6-7, specifically including:
[0113] Step 6, constructing the objective function 2 for the optimization target 2, including: constructing the system basic reliability objective function, that is, the overall system reliability function formed by connecting the flight control subsystem, the hydraulic subsystem and the power subsystem of the three types of aircraft, as the system basic reliability objective function.
[0114] It should be noted that the failure rate is a characteristic parameter of the system basic reliability objective function, and the basic reliability of the objective function 2 is equal to the sum of the failure rates of the devices in the flight control subsystem, the hydraulic subsystem and the power subsystem of the three types of aircraft.
[0115] Step 7, calculating the system basic reliability, including: for the flight control subsystem, the hydraulic subsystem and the power subsystem of the three types of aircraft, substituting the corresponding device failure rate data under multiple groups of design variables into the objective function 2 to calculate the system basic reliability corresponding to each group of design variables.
[0116] After the optimization of the above optimization target 1 and optimization target 2, the method provided by the embodiment further includes the following step:
[0117] Step 8, forming a feasible solution of the system architecture selection of the multiple subsystems through genetic algorithm optimization.
[0118] The implementation of this step includes: setting the selection, crossover and mutation probabilities, population size and iteration number; generating multiple individuals in the initial population according to multiple sets of design variables, calculating the target function 1 and target 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, congestion calculation); calling the selection, crossover and mutation functions to form new individuals; calculating the target function 1 and target function 2 values of the new individuals, sorting the current population and the new individuals, and updating the population according to the sorting results; then calling the selection, crossover and mutation functions again to form new individuals until the convergence condition is met, forming a feasible solution set of the system architecture selection of the multiple subsystems; the convergence condition of this step is: the number of iterations.
[0119] Step 9, generating a Pareto frontier from the feasible solution set of the system architecture selection of the multiple subsystems obtained in step 8 to determine the final selected system architecture, including: for the feasible solution set of the target function 1 and the target function 2, determining the Pareto frontier (i.e. the solution that cannot improve the value of one target function without reducing the value of the other target function), the Pareto frontier represents the trade-off between the achievable constraints and optimization objectives, and the specific selection of which solution (which architecture combination form and equipment selection) depends on the specific needs and preferences of the decision maker, such as the decision maker who values the operating cost (fuel consumption) more, may tend to choose the solution on the left side of the frontier (the horizontal coordinate represents the fuel consumption); if the decision maker values the maintenance cost (system basic reliability) more, he may choose the solution on the lower side of the frontier (the vertical coordinate represents the basic reliability).
[0120] The following describes the system architecture selection using the multi-subsystem synthesis system architecture design optimization method provided in this embodiment through two implementation examples.
[0121] Implementation Example 1:
[0122] Design variable values:
[0123] Design variable 1, "FCS Power Supply", takes values 0 and 1. "0" represents full selection of hydraulic actuators, and "1" represents full selection of electro-hydraulic actuators.
[0124] Design variable 2, "Hydraulic Power Source", takes values 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+1EDP+1EMP.
[0125] Design variable 3, "Power System Architecture", takes values of 0, 1 and 2. "0" represents a constant frequency AC power supply system, including main power supply, secondary power supply, auxiliary power supply, emergency power supply, flow generator transformer rectifier, etc. "1" represents an AC frequency AC power supply system, including main power supply, secondary power supply, auxiliary power supply, emergency power supply, etc. "2" is a 270V high-voltage main flow power supply system, including main power supply, auxiliary power supply, secondary power supply, etc.
[0126] The obtained optimization results are as follows:
[0127] Firstly, there are repeated solutions in the 100 solutions obtained by optimization to the last generation, for example, the 2nd and 3rd solutions are the same, and the 1st and 4th 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 front. As shown in FIG. 1, it is a schematic diagram of the Pareto front result in the embodiment example 1 of the present application. Figure 3
[0128] Next, the 20 unique solutions are marked in the Pareto front diagram. For example, for the 1st solution in the diagram, although it performs well in fuel consumption (objective function 1), it is relatively high in reliability (objective function 2).
[0129] Since all the 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 achieve a better balance between fuel consumption and reliability, and therefore can be used as alternative solutions. For example, solution 8 can significantly improve reliability by slightly increasing fuel consumption compared to solution 7; similarly, solution 13 can significantly reduce fuel consumption at the expense of a small amount of reliability compared to solution 14. Therefore, from the perspective of compromise, solutions 8 to 13 are better choices. Among them, for example, solution 8 corresponds to the architecture selection: long-range aircraft: fly-by-wire subsystem selects electric actuator; hydraulic subsystem selects 1EDP+1EMP+1RAT+1EDP+1EMP; power subsystem selects AC frequency AC power supply system; conventional aircraft: fly-by-wire subsystem selects hydraulic actuator; hydraulic subsystem selects 1EDP+1EMP+1EMP+1EDP+1EMP; power subsystem selects 270V high-voltage main flow power supply system; short-range aircraft: fly-by-wire subsystem selects electric actuator; hydraulic subsystem selects 1EDP+1EMP+1RAT+1EDP+1EMP; power subsystem selects AC frequency AC power supply system.

[0136] The obtained optimization results are as follows:
[0137] Firstly, there are repeated solutions in the 200 solutions obtained by optimizing to the last generation. After merging the same solutions, it is found that there are actually only 39 unique solutions that constitute the Pareto frontier. As shown in FIG. 1, it is a schematic diagram of the Pareto frontier results in the embodiment 2 of the present application. Figure 4
[0138] Next, the 39 unique solutions are marked in the Pareto frontier diagram. For example, for the No. 1 solution in the diagram, although it performs well in fuel consumption (objective function 1), it is relatively high in reliability (objective function 2).
[0139] Since all the solutions on the Pareto frontier 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, and therefore can be used as alternative solutions. For example, solution 11 can significantly improve reliability by slightly increasing fuel consumption compared to solution 10; similarly, solution 29 can significantly reduce fuel consumption at the expense of a small amount of reliability compared to solution 30. Therefore, from the perspective of compromise, solutions 11 to 29 are better choices. For example, solution 11 corresponds to the architecture selection: for long-range aircraft: the flight control subsystem selects the electric-hydraulic brake under distribution; the hydraulic subsystem selects a pressure of 35MPA, and the configuration is: hydraulic source A1EDP, hydraulic source B1EMP+1RAT, hydraulic source C1EDP+1EMP; the power subsystem selects an AC frequency AC power supply system.
