Globally stabilizing switching controllers for a centrifugal compressor model with spool dynamics

In this paper we develop a globally stabilizing stability-based switching controller for a three-state lumped parameter centrifugal compressor surge model. The proposed model involves pressure and mass flow compression system dynamics as well as spool dynamics to account for the influence of speed transients on the compression surge dynamics. The proposed nonlinear switching controller architecture involves throttle and compressor torque regulation and is directly applicable to compression systems with actuator amplitude and rate saturation constraints.
