LPV Predictive Control of the Stall and Surge for Jet Engine 1

Abstract Predictive control of constrained LPV systems is applied to the model of the stall and surge control for jet engine compressors. The objective of the used technique is to optimize nominal performance while guaranteeing robust stability and constraint satisfaction. This is achieved by exploiting invariant sets and a receding horizon optimization procedure which provides on-line a non-linear correction to a gain-scheduled linear feedback designed off-line. A comparison with a contractive gain-scheduling control technique is also shown.
