New Koopman-based control method enhances turbofan engine performance

Researchers have developed a novel method for controlling turbofan engines using Koopman operator theory. This approach, detailed in a recent paper, utilizes an adapted dynamic mode decomposition to create a reusable Koopman model capable of predicting spool speeds and engine pressure ratio (EPR). An adaptive Koopman-based model predictive controller (AKMPC) was designed and compared against other Koopman-based controllers, demonstrating superior performance under varying flight conditions due to its ability to handle nonlinear dynamics, constraints, and model mismatch.
