Abstract
A full envelope LMI-based multi-region linear parameter-varying power controller is designed for a turbofan engine in this paper. According to the characteristics of aero-engine model, three scheduling variables are divided into two groups firstly, and then part of them are partitioned, rather than all scheduling variables are partitioned directly as the usual multi-region LPV control. The polynomial LPV model of aero-engine is established under a specific flight condition. An explicit LPV controller by gridding method based on parameter-dependent Lyapunov function is designed and we propose a method to eliminate the dependence of LPV controller on the derivative of scheduling parameter. The flight envelope of turbofan engine is divided into multiple sub-regions, and a mixing LPV control method with overlapping regions is proposed, which can guarantee stability and performance across the full envelope. Finally, the simulation results on the nonlinear component level model of a twin-spool turbofan engine verify our method.
