Research on optimization control of the hovercraft-engine-propeller matching

The hovercraft usually consumes a large amount of fuel in navigation, so this paper will analyze engine-propeller matching problem of dynamic hovercraft to achieve the purpose of saving energy. By using the method of predictive control, the fuel quantity of gas turbine and the pitch of controllable-pitch propeller for the hovercraft have been jointly controlled. Through adjusting engine and propeller operation parameters reasonably, it can achieve engine-propeller matching and optimization control of dynamic working condition of hovercraft. Finally, dynamic working condition matching process and optimization control simulation of hovercraft has been carried out and receive satisfying simulation results.
