Development of an Aviation Electric Fuel Pump Control System

This article focuses on the Aircraft Electric Fuel Pump (AEFP), which is a key component of More Electric Aircraft (MEA). The AEFP is a highly non-linear system that is constantly subjected to various disturbances and uncertain external factors during operation. Firstly, the control structure of the AEFP is described. Then, a PID controller with variable parameters and a fuzzy PID controller, which were applied to this system, are analyzed. Finally, a control method combining an artificial neural network with a PID controller is proposed for disturbance rejection control of the AEFP.
