1. Why Data-Driven Model-Based Combustion Control
PENN
STATE NASA Award No: NNX07C98A
Necessity of Advanced Combustion Control For gas turbine combustors, the design strategies favoring different performance indices are usually not compatible. Combustion control adds extra freedom to improve and optimize overall performance. A typical example is developing control systems to enhance lean combustion stability so that the engines can operate in clean, safe, and stable manner. ¾ Three adaptive phase-shift controllers (Gatech, UTRC, and Yi&Gutmark). The last one is capable of identifying the dominant frequency within one pressure cycle and a half, with an estimation error within 5 Hz, and is free of stability concerns ¾Mixed control performance has been reported, including insufficient suppression of slightlydamped modes. These are the intrinsic deficiencies of phase-shift control principles.
¾ Model-based control design is a standard routine for control engineers and theorists. Datadriven models are in particular attractive and practical.
¾ Enough evidence suggests that model-based controllers can easily outperform the empirical ones, and for highly nonlinear systems, a simple nonlinear controller can well outperform linear ones.

3. Combustion Sensing Techniques
PENN
STATE NASA Award No: NNX07C98A
Background of Combustion Sensing • The instantaneous heat release rate and equivalence ratios are two key parameters for combustion analysis and control. Chemiluminescence-based sensors are practical solutions. • For premixed gas-fueled combustion, linearity between chemiluminescence yield and heat release is valid for slightly turbulent or wrinkled flamelet region. But in the corrugated and broken flamelet region, nonlinearity cannot be ignored. • In combustion instability analysis, it is usually assumed that chemilumienscence is proportional to the instantaneous heat release rate, which in fact, suffers from several major deficiencies. • Reported is an accurate correlation-function-based method for real-time combustion sensing, based on chemiluminescence measurements using PMTs. For the first time in combustion literature, the nonlinearity among heat release, chemiluminescence, equivalence ratios, and acoustics effects is taken into account

4. Flame Transfer Functions and Control Design Perspective
PENN
STATE NASA Award No: NNX07C98A
Background • Combustion instability and lean blowout are major technical challenges for liquid-fueled DLE combustion. Both phenomena can be attributed to the increased sensitivity in heat release to external disturbances or intrinsic acoustic oscillations at very lean conditions. • First-principle low-order modeling is challenging. The measured flame transfer functions (FTFs), i.e. heat release responses to inlet air and/or fuel modulations, provides an accurate description of combustion dynamics around the working conditions where they are derived. • Active control of both phenomena can be achieved using small-amplitude fuel modulations, employing the same control hardware and fuel actuators. However, major differences exist.
• Acoustic responses are system- and geometry-dependent, but heat-release-based openloop FTFs can be used for different types of engines employing the same type of burners.

Fast Control of LBO LBO limits can be extended by increasing the amount of pilot fuel. But this approach is too slow, not suitable for transient LBO. In addition, locally hot regions form and exacerbate emissions. Small-amplitude fuel modulations, based on a feedback controller, are capable of quickly attenuating small deviations from the equilibrium points within a small fraction of a second. Also detection of incipient LBO is not needed. The spatial fuel distribution is not modified, thus favoring low emissions. Near-LBO combustion dynamics is rather slow, typically below 200 Hz. Thus the requirements of the actuator bandwidth and challenges associated with time delay are no longer major technical challenges. 1.2 Measurement

FTFs around Resonant Frequencies The FTFs around the acoustic resonant frequencies are no longer open-loop and linear. In this figure, off the resonant frequencies, i.e. around 340 Hz and 670 Hz, differences in both the gain and phases are rather small. Considerable differences exit around the acoustic resonant frequencies. 5

Unstable combustion occurs at Ф=0.40 , the air flow rate of 44.5 g/s, and Ti=373 K. The fundamental resonant frequency is 672 Hz, corresponding to one-wave mode of the combustion chamber, 1.05-m-long.

Conclusions • Performed systematic investigations of flame response to fuel modulations up to 1 kHz and to air modulations up to 900 Hz. • Developed strategies for accurate determination of the instantaneous heat release rate and equivalence ratios, which take into account of the nonlinearity among heat release, chemiluminescence, equivalence ratios, and acousticsinduced chemiluminescence oscillations. • Proposed that a single adaptive robust controller be used for simultaneously control of both combustion instability and lean blowout.
Suggested Future Work • Development of high-frequency fuel-modulation technologies • Quantification of flame response within a large range of working conditions • Implementation of combustion control experiments
