Abstract

A gas turbine engine plays an important role as a prime mover that is used in the marine transportation field as well as the space/aviation and power plant fields. However, it has a complicated structure and there is a time delay element in the combustion process. Therefore, an elaborate mathematical model needs to be developed to control a gas turbine engine. In this study, a modeling technique for a gas generator, a PLA actuator, and a metering valve, which are major components of a gas turbine engine, is explained. In addition, sub-models are obtained at several operating points in a steady state based on the trial running data of a gas turbine engine, and a method for controlling the engine speed is proposed by designing an NPID controller for each sub-model. The proposed NPID controller uses three kinds of gains that are implemented with a nonlinear function. The parameters of the NPID controller are tuned using real-coded genetic algorithms in terms of minimizing the objective function. The validity of the proposed method is examined by applying to a gas turbine engine and by conducting a simulation.

가스터빈 기관은 우주항공, 발전 플랜트뿐만 아니라 해상운송 분야에 사용되는 원동기로서 매우 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 그러나 그 구조가 복잡하고 연소과정에서 시간지연 요소가 포함되어 있어 가스터빈 기관을 잘 제어할려면 정교한 수학적 모델링이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 가스터빈 기관의 주요 구성품인 가스발생기, PLA 액추에이터, 미터링 밸브에 대한 모델링 기법을 설명한다. 또한, 가스터빈 기관의 시운전 데이터를 기초로 몇 가지 정상상태 때의 동작점에서 서브모델을 구하고, 각 서브모델에 대해 비선형 비례적분미분 제어기를 설계하여 기관의 속도를 제어하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 비선형 제어기는 비선형 함수로 구현되는 3가지 이득을 사용한다. 비선형 제어기의 파라미터는 제어시스템의 목적함수를 최소화하는 관점에서 실수코딩 유전자알고리즘으로 동조한다. 제안한 방법은 가스터빈 기관에 적용하고 시뮬레이션을 실시하여 그 유효성을 확인한다.
