Abstract

A method for controlling a position actuation system component in a gas turbine engine based on a modified proportional and integral control loop is provided. The method includes determining an error value between a demand signal for the position actuation system component and a position signal for the position actuation system component. The method also includes determining an integral gain scaler as a function of a scheduling parameter value and determining an integral gain based on the determined error value and the determined integral gain scaler. Additionally the method includes determining a proportional gain scaler as a function of the scheduling parameter value and determining a proportional gain based on the determined error value and the determined proportional portion gain scaler. The method adds the determined integral gain with the determined proportional gain to determine a null current value for the position actuation system component.
