Series cascade control systems, in which, the output of one process drives a second process are studied extensively in literature. Traditional control design methods based on transfer function approach are used for design of cascade control systems with disturbances in inner loop and time delays in outer loop process. Design of current turboshaft engine control systems are based on cascade control system framework. Next generation aircraft engine control systems are based on distributed architecture, in which, communication constraints like time delays can degrade control system performance. Stability of networked cascade control systems for turboshaft engines in a state space framework is analyzed in the presence of time delays. Two architectures of networked cascade control systems are presented. Stability conditions for discrete-time cascade control systems are presented for each of the architecture with time delays which are more than the sampling time.

The distributed control architecture becomes more and more important in future gas turbine engine control systems, in which the sensors and actuators will be connected to the controllers via a network. Therefore, the control problem of network-enabled high-performance distributed engine control (DEC) has come to play an important role in modern gas turbine control systems, while, due to the properties of the network, the packet dropouts must be considered. This study introduces a distributed control system architecture based on a networked cascade control system (NCCS). Typical turboshaft engine distributed controllers are designed based on the NCCS framework with H∞ state feedback under random packet dropouts. The sufficient robust stable conditions are derived via the Lyapunov stability theory and linear matrix inequality approach. Simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the presented method.

PID control systems are the most commonly used control technology in industries. However, there are issues on control performances for the unstable process with time delays. In order to improve the control performances of PID control systems, a new two degree of freedom model driven PID control system is introduced in this paper and it is used to the unstable processes with time delay. The model driven PID control is capable of stabilizing with unstable processes by using PD feedback, regulating quickly for disturbance and tracking quickly to the change of set point. With case studies comparing with conventional PID control systems was done.
