Patent number: 10844793Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a fluid-based system are disclosed. The systems and methods may include a model processor for generating a model output, the model processor including a set state module for setting dynamic states, the dynamic states input to an open loop model based on the model operating mode, where the open loop model generates current state derivatives, solver state errors, and synthesized parameters as a function of the dynamic states and a model input vector. A constraint on the current state derivatives and solver state errors is based on mathematical abstractions of physical laws that govern behavior of a component using a material temperature utility. The model processor may further include an estimate state module for determining an estimated state of the model based on at least one of a prior state, the current state derivatives, the solver state errors, and the synthesized parameters.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2018Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: RAYTHEON TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONInventors: Boris Karpman, Ian Michael Dinsmore, Richard P.
