Turbine Engine Control and Diagnostics

2005, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Aero/Astro Engineering.
Modeling of turbine engines has been an important topic for a long time, because of its importance in simulation and controller design. This research work has concentrated on turbine engine model development, and control of turbine engines using MATLAB / SIMULINK. The model simulates the dynamics of the various turbine engine components. Mathematical equations derived from first principles are used for modeling the system. Algebraic equations model the thermodynamic processes, while differential equations are used to model the dynamic nature of the turbine engine. The dynamics of the turbine engine can be studied using this SIMULINK model. Engine health monitoring systems (including engine diagnostics and prognostics) can help reduce the total labor needed to maintain engines and allow planning of maintenance schedules to accomplish preventive maintenance more effectively. Various failure detection techniques available in the literature are reviewed in order to perform Turbine Engine Diagnostics. The benefits of using a Bank of Kalman filters for sensor fault diagnostics were understood and the technique is applied for diagnostics of the Simulink model of the turbine engine developed. A literature review of turbine engine prognostic techniques reveals the potential of model-based prognostic methods to accurately predict the remaining useful life of various turbine engine components.
