  • Abstract:
  • A developmental Aero Engine Digital Engine Control System (AEDECS) is a multi-domain system comprising electronic controller with embedded software, hydro-mechanical components and electrical harness connecting these subsystems. AEDECS controls the aero engine throughout its operating regime. A heterogeneous, Advanced Model-In-The-Loop-Simulation (A-MILS) framework has been commissioned to verify and validate the AEDECS performance by adopting advanced modeling techniques using Functional-Mock-up Interface standard. AEDECS closed loop performance studies have been carried out in A-MILS with three heterogeneous, tightly coupled, interdependent subsystem models which are developed using different commercial software packages viz. MATLAB/Simulink based Electronic Controller Model, AMESim based Hydro-Mechanical Plant Model (HMPM) and MATLAB/Simulink based Aero Engine Model. A-MILS provides a real-time simulation platform with MATLAB/Simulink configured as interactive native environment while exploring the possibility of coupling/importing the AMESim based HMPM using FMI standard through data exchange mode as Simulink S-function. AEDECS closed loop performance studies have been demonstrated satisfactorily and the framework has effectively improved AEDECS design process, shortened the development time while addressing the challenges pertaining to interoperability of subsystem models developed in different software packages, coupling of varied fidelity subsystem models with real-time data exchange between these models.
