SYSTEMATIC DERIVATIONS OF MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL BASED ON ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK

This article presents systematic derivations of setting up a nonlinear model predictive control based on the artifical neural network. Unlike most research in the past, the control law is mathematically developed in detail so that the performance of the ANN-based controller can be improved. In this paper, a three-layer feedforward neural network with hyperbolic tangent functions in the hidden layer and with a linear function in the output layer is used. The two-stage scheme including pseudo Gauss-Newton and least squares is proposed for training ANN. This training method is better than the traditional algorithm in terms of training speed. The Levenberg-Marquardt approximation is also utilized for the minimum of the predictive control criterion. Two typical chemical processes are simulated and the ANN model predictive control applications can reach fairly good results.
