Experimental implementation of retrospective cost adaptive control for suppressing thermoacoustic oscillations in a Rijke tube

JA Paredes, DS Bernstein - IEEE Transactions on Control …, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Thermoacoustic systems are self-oscillating due to the fact that a constant input (eg, fuel rate
in gas-turbine combustors) yields an asymptotically oscillatory response. This behavior …

Boundary proportional control of thermoacoustic instability in a Rijke tube

Y Xing, Y Tao, D Ma, C Chen, H Lin - Journal of the Franklin Institute, 2024 - Elsevier
Thermoacoustic instability has always been a critical concern of low pollution combustion
chambers and combustion components of ground gas turbines. It is also a severe challenge …

Experimental Application of a Quasi-Static Adaptive Controller to a Dual Independent Swirl Combustor

JA Paredes, R Ramesh, M Gamba… - Combustion Science …, 2024 - Taylor & Francis
Thermoacoustic instabilities in gas turbine combustors have multiple detrimental effects.
Although active control techniques can mitigate these instabilities, high-bandwidth actuators …

Experimental Application of Predictive Cost Adaptive Control to Thermoacoustic Oscillations in a Rijke Tube

JA Paredes, DS Bernstein - arXiv preprint arXiv:2402.00346, 2024 - arxiv.org
Model predictive control (MPC) has been used successfully in diverse applications. As its
name suggests, MPC requires a model for predictive optimization. The present paper …

Adaptive Control of Self-Excited Systems with Application to a Gas Turbine Combustor

J Paredes Salazar - 2023 - deepblue.lib.umich.edu
A self-excited system (SES) has the property that constant inputs produce oscillatory outputs.
SES arise in biochemical systems, aeroelasticity, and combustion. In particular, gas-turbine …
