An intelligent control method for a dynamic neural network-based variable cycle engine is provided. By adding a grey relation analysis method-based structure adjustment algorithm to the neural network training algorithm, the neural network structure is adjusted, a dynamic neural network controller is constructed, and thus the intelligent control of the variable cycle engine is realized. A dynamic neural network is trained through the grey relation analysis method-based network structure adjustment algorithm designed by the present invention, and an intelligent controller of the dynamic neural network-based variable cycle engine is constructed. Thus, the problem of coupling between nonlinear multiple variables caused by the increase of control variables of the variable cycle engine and the problem that the traditional control method relies too much on model accuracy are effectively solved.

A bumpless transfer fault tolerant control method for aero-engine under actuator fault is disclosed. For an aero-engine actuator fault, by adopting an undesired oscillation problem produced by an active fault tolerant control method based on a virtual actuator, in order to solve the shortage of the existing control method, a bumpless transfer active fault tolerant control design method for the aero-engine actuator fault is provided, which can guarantee that a control system of the reconfigured aero-engine not only has the same state and output as an original fault-free system without changing the structure and parameters of a controller, to achieve a desired control objective, and that a reconfigured system has a smooth transient state, that is, output parameters such as rotational speed, temperature and pressure do not produce the undesired transient characteristics such as overshoot or oscillation.

A design method of aero-engine on-line optimization and multivariable control based on model prediction control realizes aero-engine multivariable control and on-line optimization according to thrust, rotational speed and other needs under the condition of meeting constraints. The first part is a prediction model acquisition layer that continuously establishes a small deviation linear model of an aero-engine near different steady state points based on the actual operating state of the aero-engine in each control cycle and external environment parameters and that supplies model parameters to a controller; and the second part is a control law decision-making layer which is a closed loop structure that consists of a model prediction controller and an external output feedback. The model prediction controller determines the output of the controller at next moment by solving a linear optimization problem according to an engine model in the current state, a control instruction and relevant constraints.

A steady state and transition state multi-variable control method of a turbofan engine based on an active disturbance rejection control theory (ADRC) belongs to the technical field of aero-engine control. Firstly, multiple groups of manipulated variables and controlled variables of a turbofan engine are preliminarily selected, and then the manipulated variables and controlled variables with high correlation are further determined by a correlation analysis method. Each group of control instructions is planned as a tracking trajectory by using a tracking differentiator, and is used as the input of a nonlinear proportional-differential controller together with the current state estimated by the extended state observer to calculate the manipulated variables.

A stochastic configuration network based turbofan engine health parameter estimation method is disclosed. The stochastic configuration network based turbofan engine health parameter estimation method designed by the present invention combines the model based Kalman filter algorithm and the data-driven based stochastic configuration network, i.e. using the output of the stochastic configuration network as the compensation of the Kalman filter algorithm, so as to take into account the estimated result of the Kalman filter and the estimated result of the stochastic configuration network and improve the estimation accuracy of the original Kalman filter algorithm when the measurable parameters of the turbofan engine are less than the health parameters to be estimated. In addition, the present invention effectively reduces the accuracy loss caused by the poor structure of the neural network through the stochastic configuration network, and improves the generalization ability of the network.

A design method for optimization of a transient control law of the aero-engine is disclosed, and performs the transient schedule optimization for the aero-engine by adopting an SQP algorithm, to realize the design of the transient control law along a constrained boundary condition. The fuel flow rate value is adjusted, other constraints remain unchanged, and the transient control law is designed under different limits. The transient time under each transient control law is calculated by constructing the transient time evaluation function. A lookuptable interpolation table is established by using the calculated transient time and corresponding fuel flow, to realize the fuel flow scheduling under different transient time. The fuel flow obtained by scheduling in the expected time is taken as an acceleration and deceleration control schedule of the closed-loop control of the aero-engine, and the output thereof is taken as the reference instruction of an acceleration process.
