Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of modeling and control of combined power engine mode conversion process, and particularly relates to a high-disturbance-resistance LA-ALQR mode conversion closed-loop control method for a TBCC engine. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, a turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) engine is a research hotspot of a hypersonic aircraft power system. The TBCC engine integrates a turbine engine and a ramjet engine (or a scramjet engine), and realizes wide flight envelope coverage from subsonic speed, supersonic speed to hypersonic speed. The TBCC engine has significant advantages such as horizontal take-off and landing capability, wide range and high economy. The core feature of the TBCC engine is the mode conversion process. The process refers to smooth transition of the engine from the “turbine mode” depending on the turbine engine to the “ram mode” depending on the ramjet engine. During the conversion, the control system operates the actuator to coordinate the closing of the turbine duct and the opening of the ram duct. At the same time, the air flow distribution at the inlet duct outlet is changed, and the main flow is gradually switched from the turbine duct to the ram duct. Through the precise mode conversion capability, the TBCC engine can maintain efficient power output and operation in the entire wide flight speed and height range, thereby supporting the complex task requirements of the hypersonic aircraft.
[0003] At present, the mode conversion control of the turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) engine mainly adopts an open-loop mode. The core of the method is to directly apply a pre-set mode conversion control program to the actuator of the engine, and to realize the mode conversion through open-loop adjustment of the actuator. The open-loop control strategy has the advantages of simple control system structure and easy engineering implementation. However, the open-loop control mode has a significant disadvantage, that is, poor disturbance resistance. The mode conversion process occurs in a high flight Mach number range much higher than the supersonic cruise Mach number of the turbine engine. In this high Mach number environment, even slight environmental disturbances can cause large fluctuations in the engine thrust during the conversion process. When the thrust fluctuation is severe, it may even endanger flight safety.
[0004] To improve the anti-interference ability of the modal conversion process, some scholars have carried out research on modal conversion closed-loop control method. Nie Lingcong et al. of Beijing Power Machinery Research Institute based on extended Kalman filter ( EFK) to estimate the state parameters such as engine thrust in real time, on this basis, the modal conversion control method of series TBCC engine based on direct thrust form is studied, through the closed-loop control of thrust, flow, surge margin and other direct performance, the transient control error of engine thrust in modal conversion process is not more than 9%, and the steady-state fluctuation is not more than 2.1%[Nie Lingcong, Li Yan, Dai Donghong, et al. Multivariable control of turbo-ramjet combined engine during mode transition[J]. Propulsion technology, 2017, 38(05): 968-974.]. Yu Bingqiang et al. of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics cooperated with the institute, put forward a modal conversion closed-loop control method based on neural network prediction feedback and inverse control, introduced a limit management strategy in the multivariable control architecture, which improved the safety of modal conversion[Yu Bingqiang, Zhang Yongliang, Nie Lingcong, et al. Multivariable limit management of TBCC engine based on neural network inverse control[J]. Propulsion technology, 2024, 45(12): 79-89.]. Modal conversion closed-loop control must meet two core requirements: accurate instruction tracking performance to avoid state fluctuation caused by control error; and strong anti-interference ability in high Mach number environment. However, the current closed-loop controller design often separates these two points, and cannot effectively unify tracking performance and anti-interference performance. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0058] The specific embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present application, but are not used to limit the scope of the present application.
[0059] The present application specifically solves the above technical problems by using the following method:
[0060] 1. The overall direct thrust control form is adopted, the BP neural network is used to establish the thrust prediction model of the modal conversion process, and the deviation amount of the total temperature, total pressure, and Mach number at the inlet of the inlet duct from the standard value is added as the model input, so as to accurately reflect the influence of environmental disturbance on the thrust.
[0061] 2. The design method of the ALQR controller (LA-ALQR controller) with LADRC compensator is proposed, the linear quadratic optimal control theory is used to ensure the tracking performance of the system in the control process, and the linear active disturbance rejection (LADRC) compensator is used to enhance the anti-interference ability of the thrust in the conversion process.
[0062] SeeFigure 1 The diagram shown is a structural diagram of the engine mode conversion closed-loop control of the present invention, specifically including...
[0063] (1) Obtain the mode transition control plan under T2 through H, Ma, and PLA;
[0064] (2) The mode conversion closed-loop control system of the ALQR controller with LADRC self-interference compensator performs open-loop and closed-loop control on the state parameters. The parameters for open-loop control are the mode selection valve MSV and the front / rear variable area duct ejector FVABI / RVABI; the parameters for closed-loop control include the fuel quantity W in the main combustion chamber. fb The exhaust nozzle throat area is A8, and the afterburner fuel quantity is W. fa Controlling the compressor rotor speed n H Fan rotor speed n L The engine thrust F is obtained by predicting and calculating the thrust through a thrust prediction model of the mode transition process established by a BP neural network.
[0065] Furthermore, the BP neural network establishes a thrust prediction model for the mode transition process. This model is obtained through offline training of the neural network based on mini-batch gradient descent. The mode transition process is equated to a second-order system, and the values of the above input quantities at the current time (k) and historical time (k-1, k-2) are collected to establish the neural network thrust prediction model.
[0066] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the prediction model includes an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer: the input layer consists of the current time k and historical time k-1, k-2 value parameters, including the intake manifold inlet total temperature, total pressure, Mach number deviations from standard values ΔT1, ΔP1, ΔMa, and the engine closed-loop control variable fuel flow rate W. fb The exhaust nozzle throat area A8 and the afterburner fuel flow rate W fa The hidden layer has three layers; the output layer is the predicted thrust value.
[0067] Preferably, see Figure 2 As shown, the thrust prediction model contains 18 inputs, hidden layers, and the neural network output is the predicted thrust value at the current moment. The actual thrust F of the engine, and the relative error e of the thrust output of the neural network prediction model. F The threshold, where the relative error e F The calculation formula is as follows:
[0068]
[0069] In the present application, the node functions of the output layer are all set to Sigmoid functions, and the number of nodes of the hidden layer is set to 25. According to the typical working state of the mode transition process, the rated mode transition point (Ma=2.8, H=19.16km) is selected to train the neural network model, and 1684592 simulation data are obtained under the condition of fully exciting the model. After the data samples are randomly shuffled, 90% of them are selected as training samples, and 10% of them are selected as test samples. The relative error of the thrust output predicted by the neural network prediction model is as shown in Figure 3 .
[0070] As shown in Figure 3 , the training relative error of most data points is not greater than 0.1%, and the error of individual points is larger but still not greater than 0.15%. The test error is slightly larger than the training error, but the overall error is still within 0.2%. The calculation accuracy of the whole model is high, which meets the accuracy requirement of the thrust control system.
[0071] As shown in Figure 4 , the thrust controller with a compensator of the present application is an ALQR controller with a self-disturbance compensator LADRC. The characteristics of the compensator are that the non-zero disturbance input and the zero reference input r(t)=0. When the engine produces small-range fluctuations around the set value due to some disturbance during operation, the compensator takes the difference ΔF between the actual thrust of the engine and the current thrust set value as the input, and outputs the afterburning fuel correction amount ΔW fa , so as to realize the control target r(t)=0, thereby reducing the thrust fluctuation of the original control system under the condition of disturbance and improving the anti-interference ability of the system.
[0072] That is, the LA-ALQR control structure of the present application includes a baseline controller and an anti-interference compensator. The baseline controller is a multivariable controller, which includes three control loops of the main combustion chamber fuel amount W fb , the closed-loop control compressor rotor speed n H (W fb →n H loop), the tail nozzle throat area A8 closed-loop control fan rotor speed n L (A8→n L loop), and the afterburning chamber fuel amount W fa closed-loop control engine thrust F(W fa →F loop). The anti-interference compensator is a single-variable controller, which is designed on the basis of the W fa →F control loop of the baseline controller to enhance the anti-interference ability of the thrust in the transition process. The anti-interference compensator takes the difference ΔF between the actual thrust of the engine and the current thrust set value as the input, and outputs the afterburning fuel correction amount ΔW fato achieve the control objective r(t) = 0; the actual afterburner fuel flow of the LA-ALQR controller is calculated as follows
[0073] W fa = W fa,ALQR +△W fa (2)
[0074] wherein W fa,ALQR is the afterburner fuel flow calculated by the ALQR controller, and△W fa is the afterburner fuel flow compensation calculated by the compensator.
[0075] Further, the baseline controller is a control structure based on the ALQR control theory, which specifically includes setting the engine as a state variable model of the controlled object when working as follows:
[0076]
[0077] wherein u is the system input variable, x is the state variable, y is the system output variable, A, B, C, and D are the state variable model coefficients; the control objective is to make the state variable model output variable y track the given signal r(t) = a·I(t), wherein a is a constant, I(t) is the unit step function, the control error e = r-y, and e is the error signal; the state variable model is differentiated to obtain,
[0078]
[0079] The augmented state vector is The design object is represented as,
[0080]
[0081] wherein,
[0082] For the LQR state regulator represented by equation (6), let that is, all state variables are zero; at the same time when eliminating the steady-state error e = 0, each parameter variable remains unchanged, then the control requirement is met, and the performance functional J of equation (4) is set as,
[0083]
[0084] wherein Q = Q T ≥ 0, R = R T > 0, Q ∈ R 9×9 , and R ∈ R 3×3 are appropriate dimension matrices, then the control law wherein and P satisfies the Riccati equation as follows,
[0085]
[0086] will be described in detail below according to the present application and e are expressed as block matrices then,
[0087]
[0088] Taking Laplace transform to equation (9), the system control law is
[0089]
[0090] where s is complex frequency.
[0091] For the modal transformation closed-loop control system, the engine state variable is selected as x = [W fb A8 W fa n H n L F], the engine output variable is y = [n H n L F], and the control variable is u = [W fb A8 W fa ].
[0092] The anti-interference compensator in the present application is designed based on the LADRC control theory to complete anti-interference, as shown in Figure 5 The LADRC control structure diagram in the present application is shown in the figure, and the controlled object combination circulation engine can be regarded as a second-order controlled object, as shown in the following formula,
[0093]
[0094] In the formula, x, x', x" are system state variables and their first and second derivatives, respectively, and f(x, x', ω) is the generalized disturbance of the system, let x1=y, x2=y', and assume f'=h, and the extended state variable x3=f, then the extended state equation of the controlled object is,
[0095]
[0096] The linear extended state observer LESO is established as,
[0097]
[0098] In the formula, β1, β2, β3 are adjustable parameters in the LESO, and z1, z2, z3 are estimated values of state variables x1, x2, x3, respectively;
[0099] From the above formula, the characteristic equation of the LESO is,
[0100] λ(s) = s3 +β1s 2 +β2s+β3 (14)
[0101] According to the 3ω parameter configuration method, an ideal characteristic equation λ(s) = (s + ω0) 3 is selected, and β1 = 3ω0, β2 = 3ω0 2 , and β3 = ω0 3 are obtained, wherein ω0 is an observer bandwidth;
[0102] The control law part of the LADRC adopts proportional-derivative PD control, and the PD control law is designed as,
[0103]
[0104] In the formula, k p , k d , and b0 are control parameters of the PD link, which corrects the system after disturbance compensation to meet the requirements of various indexes of the system; if the disturbance quantity of the extended observer is basically accurate, that is, z3 ≈ f, then,
[0105]
[0106] Further, the closed-loop dynamic equation and the transfer function of the entire LADRC compensator are,
[0107]
[0108] According to the 3ω parameter configuration method, an ideal characteristic equation λ(s) = (s + ω c ) 3 is selected, and k p = ω c 2 , k d = 2ω c , and ω c is a controller bandwidth, and by selecting appropriate ω0, ω c , and b0 parameters, a satisfactory control effect is obtained.
[0109] Embodiment 1
[0110] Next, taking the throttle lever step simulation under the mode transition flight condition as an example, the LA-ALQR controller design process and working process of the present application are introduced and described through specific numerical values.
[0111] In order to avoid the physical actual values of the above variables being greatly different, the variables are normalized before the state variable model is solved. The engine state variable model at the equilibrium point is obtained by least square identification as follows:
[0112]
[0113] In the design process, only the state weighting matrix Q and the input weighting matrix R are designed, and Q and R are usually selected as diagonal matrices. The last two diagonal elements of the Q matrix are the weights of the error components in the state variables (n L , n H ), and in order to improve the response speed of the control system and realize high-precision tracking of the engine speed instruction, the weights can be appropriately increased. Finally, Q = diag([1 0.5 1 1 1 2 80 100 150]) and R = ([0.8 0.8 1]) are selected, and by solving the Riccati equation, the following can be obtained,
[0114]
[0115] After the block is obtained,
[0116]
[0117] In the LADRC compensator of the application, the ideal characteristic equation of the closed-loop system is selected as λ(s) = (s + ω c ) 3 , ω0 = 12, ω c = 6, according to the 3ω parameter configuration method, k p = ω c 2 , k d = 2ω c , further calculation can obtain β1 = 36, β2 = 432, β3 = 1728, k p = 36, k d = 12.
[0118] In order to verify the effectiveness of the above controller, the throttle lever step simulation is carried out under the mode transition point flight condition, the thrust instruction is greatly stepped at t = 10s, the simulation of the engine two rotor speed is greatly stepped at t = 30s, and the engine parameter change is as shown in Figure 6 From Figure 6 , it can be seen that when the thrust instruction is stepped or the speed instruction is stepped, the corresponding controlled parameters of the engine can quickly track the instruction signal, and there is no steady-state error. In order to improve the tracking performance of the controller, when a large step is performed, a little overshoot appears in the two speeds, as shown in Figure 6 (a), (b), but the overshoot is controlled within 0.6%, and when the controlled quantity instruction is continuously changed in the actual mode transition process, no overshoot phenomenon appears. Figure 6 (c), the thrust control loop is in the LA-ALQR control mode after the core engine speed is stepped (t = 30s), and the amplitude of the thrust F is reduced from 8.15% to 3.82%. FromFigure 6 (d)It can be seen that the addition of the LADRC anti-interference compensator plays a role in advance compensation for the afterburner fuel flow W fa .
[0119] The above simulation shows that both the LA-ALQR control method and the ALQR control method have good tracking performance, but the LA-ALQR control method performs better in thrust anti-interference.
[0120] Embodiment 2
[0121] Next, the closed-loop control effects of ALQR and LA-ALQR are analyzed through modal transition process performance comparison, and the technical solution of the application is further introduced and described.
[0122] See Figure 7 It can be seen that the addition of the LADRC anti-interference compensator plays a role in advance compensation for the afterburner fuel flow W fa , and it is this advance compensation that suppresses the fluctuation of the thrust. In actual flight, the influence of atmospheric disturbance is inevitable, especially for high Mach number flight states, and it is unrealistic not to consider the influence of external disturbance on the modal transition process. Therefore, the atmospheric turbulence model disturbance output is applied to the TBCC propulsion system modal transition process, and the modal transition control effects under different control modes under atmospheric turbulence disturbance are simulated, as shown in Figure 8 . From Figure 8 (a), it can be seen that under the open-loop control mode, the engine thrust appears sustained large fluctuations, and the fluctuation amplitude is ΔF = 0.74%; compared with the open-loop modal transition control, under the closed-loop control mode, the engine thrust fluctuation amplitude is obviously decreased. Under the ALQR control, except that the thrust fluctuation amplitude is large at the beginning and end of the modal transition process, the maximum thrust fluctuation amplitude is ΔF = 0.36%, which is less than 50% of the open-loop. And under the LA-ALQR control, the maximum thrust fluctuation amplitude is further reduced to ΔF = 0.19%, and even at the beginning and end of the modal transition process, the thrust fluctuation amplitude is not greater than 0.3%. It is proved that the LA-ALQR-based modal transition closed-loop control advantage is more significant. From Figure 6 (b), it can be seen that under the external disturbance condition of atmospheric turbulence, the LADRC interference compensator also plays a role in advance compensation.
[0123] As shown in Figure 9 , under atmospheric disturbance, the position x A of the inlet normal shock wave fluctuates significantly under both open-loop and closed-loop control. This is because when flying at supersonic speed, the downstream engine control is difficult to affect the upstream inlet state. A The fluctuation of x a21 directly affects the total pressure recovery coefficient, and further causes the key parameters (fan / ram duct flow W / WaR1 , combustion chamber outlet temperature (T4, T7), surge margin (S mL , S mH )) fluctuate greatly. Among them, the afterburner outlet total temperature T7 fluctuates particularly severely, and even appears long-time large over-temperature under open-loop control, which is not allowed in flight; under closed-loop control, although the x A dither forces the afterburner fuel to be adjusted greatly to maintain the thrust, thereby causing T7 to change, but the closed-loop control of the present application significantly reduces the fluctuation amplitude of T7, effectively reduces the over-temperature time, and achieves the expected goal.
[0124] Overall, under the closed-loop control based on LA-ALQR, the fluctuation amplitude of the thrust is not greater than 0.3%, and the fluctuation amplitude of the afterburner outlet total temperature is effectively suppressed. Compared with the open-loop control, the overall effect of the closed-loop control proposed by the present application is satisfactory.
