Abstract

The feedback control system was designed to control the pipeline blockage and leakage fault. Based on the open-loop engine system, different degrees of faults were simulated, and the changes in system parameters when faults occur were analyzed. Then, the faults were injected into the engine system with feedback control, and the effects of the controller to different degrees of faults and the changes of the parameters of the electric pump with the controller were studied. The simulation results showed that under the action of the feedback control system, the deviation of the engine system parameters caused by these faults can recover to the set value within a few seconds. When the fault disappears, the system parameters can be still within the normal operating range.
