Abstract

Sensor-based, performance-seeking control of gas turbine engines is disclosed. An example method of controlling a gas turbine engine may include varying an engine input parameter while operating the gas turbine engine to produce a desired output, including measuring a pre-adjustment value of an engine operating parameter with an engine input parameter at an initial value, adjusting the engine input parameter to a current adjusted value, and measuring a post-adjustment value of the engine operating parameter. The method may include determining a future adjusted value of the engine input parameter and iteratively repeating the varying the engine input parameter operation and the determining the future adjusted value of the engine input parameter operation. The method may be performed while operating the gas turbine engine to produce a desired output.
