Abstract :
A nonlinear control law is designed for a low order model of an axial flow compressor with a ring of bleed valves after the last compressor stage. The controller is implemented on a low speed, three stage experimental compressor. The region of attraction guaranteed by the control law is experimentally determined and is larger than that of the uncontrolled compressor.
