  • 摘要: 针对分布式混合涡轮电推进飞机电力系统动态能量管理技术开展研究,将分层模型预测控制(Model predictive control,MPC)算法用于其能量优化控制,针对分布式电推进飞机飞行功率需求的变化特点,采用了两层能量管理控制器的方法。即顶层MPC控制混合电推进飞机系统的飞行过程能量优化分配和多发电机组间、非关键载荷的投切状态等,实现燃油消耗代偿最小的目标,将优化问题等效为混合整形二次规划问题(Mixed integer quadratic programing, MIQP);底层MPC则控制双向DC-DC变换器,负责管理电池组的充放电状态和维持直流母线的电压动态平衡,利用储能装置的“削峰填谷”,改善并优化系统在飞行任务过程中的平衡工作点,同时实现飞机电网能量的动静态特性的协同控制,达到对混合电推进飞机电力系统的动态能量优化管理的目的,并与采用基于规则控制的能量管理策略进行了对比研究。最后通过建立基于RT-LAB的分布式电推进飞机电力系统硬件在环半实物仿真平台,对混合涡轮电推进飞机的分层MPC能量管理算法进行了技术验证,数字仿真和半物理试验结果表明其对于混合电推进飞机的动态能量管理具有很强的鲁棒性和操作性,验证了理论分析和设计的正确性。

     

    Abstract: Focusing on dynamic energy management technology of distributed hybrid turbo electric propulsion aircraft power system, the hierarchical model predictive control(MPC) algorithm is used for its energy optimization control, and the two-layer energy management controller method is adopted for the change characteristics of flight power demand of distributed electric propulsion aircraft. That is, the top-level MPC controls the optimal distribution of energy during flight of the hybrid electric propulsion aircraft system and the switching state of multi-generator sets and non-critical loads, etc., to achieve the goal of minimizing fuel consumption compensation, and equivalently the optimization problem as the mixed integer quadratic programming problem(MIQP). The underlying MPC controls the bidirectional DC-DC converter, which is responsible for managing the charge and discharge state of the battery pack and maintaining the voltage dynamic balance of the DC bus, using the “peak shaving and valley filling” of the energy storage device to improve and optimize the balance working point of the system during the flight mission, and at the same time realize the collaborative control of the dynamic and static characteristics of the aircraft power grid energy, so as to achieve the purpose of dynamic energy optimization management of the hybrid electric propulsion aircraft power system, and compare with the energy management strategy using rule-based control. Finally, by establishing a distributed electric propulsion aircraft power system hardware-in-the-loop semi-physical simulation platform based on RT-LAB, the layered MPC energy management algorithm of hybrid turbine electric propulsion aircraft is technically verified, and the digital simulation and semi-physical experimental results show that it has strong robustness and operability for dynamic energy management of hybrid electric propulsion aircraft, which verifies the correctness of theoretical analysis and design.
