Dynamic Simulation Studies of Control Design for Engine Bleed Air Test Facility

This paper describes a model-based method for the control design of engine bleed air test facility for the bleed air system. In order to perform the control design, a dynamic simulation model for the facility is developed to simulate the dynamic behaviour. The main equipment dynamic modelling approaches are described. This simplified dynamic model may be used to perform trade studies and to optimize component characteristics for performance and cost comparison purposes. With the performance shown, this engine bleed air test facility should be quite capable to emulate the engine for bleed air system testing and evaluation.
