Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aero-engines, and particularly relates to a multi-mode simulation method for a flight environment simulation control system. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of simulation technology and artificial intelligence technology, the flight environment simulation system in the field of aero-engine flight environment simulation is facing severe challenges such as rapid development of intelligent control technology and improvement of simulation test capability, and it is urgently needed to develop high-confidence simulation devices to test and research equipment models and simulation methods. At the same time, directly carrying out technical verification or testing on the flight environment simulation system and device through physical test means has problems such as high physical test cost (tens of thousands of yuan / hour) and high debugging risk, and especially there is a great technical risk and safety hazard in directly debugging and verifying the newly developed control technology on the real equipment of the test bed.

[0003] Due to the great technical advantages of simulation verification technology and virtual test in reducing technical risk, shortening development cycle and reducing cost, they have gradually become a new way of test control technology and equipment modeling simulation. For a long time, the field of flight environment simulation test mainly relies on digital modeling offline simulation means to carry out partial simulation research on equipment models or typical working conditions. For example, the aero-engine test bed modeling method, electronic device and storage medium (publication number: CN115616933A) proposes a modeling method for a virtual space digital twin model, and does not involve hardware-in-the-loop simulation and equipment adaptability verification problems. The aero-engine high-altitude test bed virtual test system, method, electronic device and medium (publication number: CN115329605A) proposes a joint simulation device composed of a simulation module and a main control module, and each simulation unit is provided with a simulation model. The time management unit of the main control module obtains ideal machine time for time synchronization through a time server, and does not involve semi-physical simulation and intelligent control problems. For the problem of high-precision control of flight environment pressure, the composite control technology in the technical research of the inlet and exhaust pressure regulating system (Measurement and Control Technology, 2009, No. 11) proposes a composite control method of feedforward and fuzzy control, which improves the inlet pressure precision, and does not involve the control method linked with engine speed; the high-altitude test bed inlet system anti-disturbance control method based on non-smooth feedback function (publication number: CN115562002B) realizes the control of the inlet pressure in the transition state test of the aero-engine through the joint action of the non-smooth feedback sliding mode controller algorithm and the nonlinear enhancement filtering algorithm in the inlet control system, and does not involve the method of feedforward and intelligent anti-disturbance control.

When semi-physical simulation experiment is selected, the operating equipment includes PLC device, hydraulic pump station, hydraulic regulating valve and real-time simulation device, and PLC master control mode or real-time simulation device master control mode is selected. In PLC master control mode, the control model runs in the PLC device and the object model runs in the real-time simulation device. In real-time simulation device master control mode, both the control model and the object model run in the real-time simulation device. When a full digital simulation experiment is selected, the operating equipment includes a PLC device and a real-time simulation device, and both the control model and the object model are run in the real-time simulation device; Step 2: Set the initial conditions for the simulation, call the control model and the object model at the same time, and calculate the simulation parameters in real time; Step 3: The feedforward controller calculates the feedforward control variable in real time based on the engine speed change rate output by the engine flow model; the extended state observer estimates the total disturbance of the system to obtain an estimated value, and feeds it back to the active disturbance rejection controller; Step 4: The active disturbance rejection controller calculates the initial control variable in real time. The initial control variable is superimposed on the feedforward control variable and the estimated value to obtain the final control variable. The final control variable is input into the hydraulic control valve flow model to realize dynamic control of the system pressure.

[0026] When the real-time simulation device is in master control mode, both the control model and the object model run within the real-time simulation device. Taking intake pressure simulation as an example, the control principle is as follows: After the control command is calculated using the real-time simulation device's built-in engine speed feedforward and active disturbance rejection composite control algorithm, a control signal is generated and transmitted through the real-time simulation device's output card to the servo valve to drive the hydraulic control valve.

The real-time simulation device calculates the flow rate of the hydraulic control valve in real time based on the valve position feedback signal. Simultaneously, the intake pipe network cavity model and engine flow model are run to calculate real-time intake pressure, engine flow, and other signals. Pressure closed-loop control is then performed using the engine speed feedforward and active disturbance rejection composite control algorithm.

[0027] Furthermore, when a semi-physical simulation experiment is selected, the PLC device and the real-time simulation device communicate in real time through the Ethernet switch, and the PLC device, real-time simulation device, control valve and equipment model operate in conjunction to realize the semi-physical simulation of hardware in the loop; when a full digital simulation experiment is selected, the object model and the control model exchange information in real time through the reflective memory switch, and digital simulation of the flight environment conditions of the aircraft engine can be carried out.

A composite controller is constructed based on engine speed feedforward + active interference rejection. The engine speed change rate is obtained in real time through the feedforward controller to generate rapid valve compensation quality instructions. The system disturbance is observed in real time through the expanded state observer and the controlled pressure disturbance is quickly suppressed, thereby jointly achieving rapid pressure response and high-precision control, solving the problem of low-cost and risk-free scientific research verification platform integration and improving simulation confidence and efficiency.

[0041] In one embodiment, the control system pressure control effect, control amount compensation and valve adjustment effect are as follows: Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the valve adjustment achieves rapid compensation and faster response. The flight altitude, Mach number, ambient pressure and engine flow changes show the results as follows Figure 5 As shown, the pressure control effect of the simulation method of the present invention and the conventional PID control method is compared. Figure 6 The controlled pressure using the simulation method of the present invention can quickly follow the changes in the pressure setting value, with a maximum deviation of 0.64 kPa and a convergence time of 2 seconds. The maximum deviation of the controlled pressure using the conventional PID control algorithm is 5.39 kPa, and the convergence time lags behind the pressure setting value change time, with an adjustment time of 17 seconds. It can be seen that the simulation method proposed in the present invention has good transition state control accuracy and robustness.
