Delivery Order 0001: Intelligent Controls Facility;Mink, George; Behbahani, Alireza; Aug. 1, 2005; 16 pp.; In English; Original contains color illustrations Contract(s)/Grant(s): F33615-02-C-2301-0001; Proj-3066 Report No.(s): AD-A439826; AFRL-PR-WP-TP-2005-203; No Copyright; Avail.: Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC)
This paper describes the Intelligent Controls Facility (ICF) generic engine model representing the thermodynamics of a 2-spool high bypass turbine engine, with a multi-function controller. This model is used in the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Propulsion Directorate Intelligent Controls Facility (ICF), where it forms the foundation for interchangeability of simulated and actual controllers, actuators and mechanical and electrical devices in a 'Hardware-in-the-Loop' setup. The engine portion of the model incorporates standard thermodynamics so that it can duplicate the station temperatures and pressures for cycles represented by performance programs ('customer decks') and can directly utilize the 'Design Point' output of the NASA GRC NPSS program. The generic controller uses integral-proportional controls, with integral gains, proportional gains, delays, holds and transport times. DTIC
