Popis
Shrnutí:In this paper, a controller design method based on deep reinforcement learning is proposed for a wide-range variable cycle engine with a turbine interstage mixed architecture. The PID controller is subject to limitations, including single-input single-output limitations, low regulation efficiency, and poor adaptability when confronted with contemporary variable cycle engines that exhibit complex and multi-variable operating conditions. To solve this problem, this paper adopts a deep reinforcement learning method based on a deep deterministic policy gradient algorithm, and it applies an action space pruning technique to optimize the controller, which significantly improves the convergence speed of network training. In order to verify the control performance, two typical flight conditions are selected for simulation experiments as follows: in the first scenario, H = 0 km and Ma = 0, while in the second scenario, H = 10 km and Ma = 0.9. A comparison of the simulation results shows that the proposed deep reinforcement learning controller effectively addresses the engine’s multi-variable coupling control problem. In addition, it reduces response time by an average of 44.5%, while maintaining a similar overshoot level to that of the PID controller.
