Abstract

Surge phenomenon can be occurred in a compressor when compressor performance of turbofan engine for an aircraft is changed considerably in a short time on the cases like take-off phase and changing of RPM from idle to maximum, because performance of aircraft engine is changed suddenly. This study is aimed to avoid surge in a compressor. Dynamic simulation in a compressor is modeled by simulink in specific condition. Fuel flow is control input, rpm and air mass flow are expressed in terms of transfer function. Surge margin is obtained by using compressor performance map from NPSS. VIGV(Variable Inlet Guide Vane) is controlled by PD controller with difference between surge margin and reference. Finally this paper verifies IGV can prevent surge phenomenon in a compressor.

항공기용 터보팬 엔진에서 압축기 성능이 단 시간에 변화가 클 경우, 이를테면 항공기가 이륙하는 상황에서와 같이 엔진 회전속도(RPM)를 공회전(idle) 상태에서 최대로 증가 시킬 때, 항공기의 엔진 성능이 급격하게 변화하므로 압축기 내에서 서지현상이 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 서지현상 발생 방지를 그 목적으로 하였다. Simulink를 이용하여 특정 상황에서 압축기 내에 일어나는 동적 움직임을 모사하였다. 연료유량을 입력값으로 하고 그에 따른 RPM, 공기유량은 전달함수로 나타냈으며, NPSS를 통해서 획득한 압축기 성능 맵을 통해 서지마진을 출력하였다. 서지마진을 기준 값 10%와의 차이를 PD제어하여 IGV(Inlet Guide Vane)각을 변화시킴으로써 즉, VIGV를 이용하여 압축기 내의 서지라인과 운용점 사이의 마진을 증가시켜 서지현상이 발생하는 것을 방지하였다.
