This paper presents an L1 adaptive controller for pressure control using an engine bleed valve in an aircraft air management system (AMS). The air management system is composed of two pressure-regulating bleed valves, a temperature control valve, a flow control valve, and a heat exchanger/precooler. Valve hysteresis due to backlash and dry friction is included in the system model. The nonlinearities involved in the system cause oscillations under linear controllers, which decrease component life. This paper is the unique in the consideration of these uncertainties for control design. This paper presents simulation results using the adaptive controller and compares them to those using a proportional–integral (PI) controller.

This paper presents an Ethernet-based intelligent system for remote switching of the controllers of an industrial plant with the objective of on-line improvement of the performance of the plant. The plant considered in the present paper is an industrial fish-processing machine, which operates using one of several adaptive controllers. The scheme utilizes a remote supervisor, which incorporates knowledge-based decision making to continuously monitor the performance of the plant. The performance metrics deduced from the observations are then used to infer the best adaptive controller for the plant under the existing conditions. A knowledge-based system that incorporates both human expertise and analytical knowledge regarding the plant and the controllers is developed. The proposed intelligent switching is implemented in real-time for controlling the hydraulic-actuated cutter of the fish-processing machine. A client/server supervisory control architecture for remote networked-based controller switching is developed. Switching has to be done in such a manner that the transition from one controller to another takes place in a smooth manner. Proper design of the intelligent switching system is key to achieving this objective.

This article presents a review of pneumatic, electro-pneumatic and digital systems for automatic pressure control in an airtight cabin and lists the types of aircraft where such systems are installed. Advanced algorithms for controlling the pressure in an airtight cabin are analyzed and literature on this topic is surveyed. The work of a Russian author that describes optimal control based on Pontryagin’s maximum principle is examined. The works of foreign authors on fuzzy PID-controller, L1-adaptive controller and other methods of adaptive pressurization are analyzed and brief results of these works are presented. The performed analysis indicates the need to use new methods and approaches to the synthesis of automatic pressure control systems for various types of aircraft. One of the most promising solutions is the use of adaptive regulators. The relevance of developing a virtual testing environment to reduce the cost of full-scale testing is shown.
