This book aims to develop systematic design methodologies to model-based nonlinear control of aeroengines focusing on (1) modelling of aeroengine systems–both component-level and identification-based models will be extensively studied and compared; and (2) advanced nonlinear control designs–set-point control transient control and limit-protection control approaches will all be investigated. The model-based design has been one of the pivotal technologies to advanced control and health management of propulsion systems. It can fulfil advanced designs such as fault-tolerant control engine modes control and direct thrust control. As a consequence model-based design has become an important research area in the field of aeroengines due to its theoretical interests and engineering significance. One of the central issues in model-based controls is the tackling of nonlinearities. There are publications concerning with either nonlinear modelling or nonlinear controls; yet they are scattered throughout the literature. It is time to provide a comprehensive summary of model-based nonlinear controls. Consequently a series of important results are obtained and a systematic design methodology is developed which provides consistently enhanced performance over a large flight/operational envelope and it is thus expected to provide useful guidance to practical engineering in aeroengine industry and research.
