Hybrid Grey Wolf Optimization Nonlinear Model Predictive Control for Aircraft Engines Based on an Elastic BP Neural Network

In order to deal with control constraints and the performance optimization requirements in aircraft engines, a new nonlinear model predictive control method based on an elastic BP neural network with a hybrid grey wolf optimizer is proposed in this paper. Based on the acquired aircraft engines data, the elastic BP neural network is used to train the prediction model, and the grey wolf optimization algorithm is applied to improve the selection of initial parameters in the elastic BP neural network. The accuracy of network modeling is increased as a result. By introducing the logistics chaotic sequence, the individual optimal search mechanism, and the cross operation, the novel hybrid grey wolf optimization algorithm is proposed and then used in receding horizon optimization to ensure real-time operation. Subsequently, a nonlinear model predictive controller for aircraft engine is obtained. Simulation results show that, with constraints in the control signal, the proposed nonlinear model predictive controller can guarantee that the aircraft engine has a satisfactory performance.
