Suboptimal Nonlinear Predictive Control Based on Neural Wiener Models

This paper is concerned with a computationally efficient (suboptimal) nonlinear Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithm based on neural Wiener models. The model contains a linear dynamic part in series with a steady-state nonlinear part which is realised by a neural network. The model is linearised on-line, as a result the nonlinear MPC algorithm needs solving a quadratic programming problem. The algorithm gives control performance similar to that obtained in nonlinear MPC, which hinges on non-convex optimisation. In order to demonstrate accuracy and computational efficiency of the considered MPC algorithm, a polymerisation reactor is studied.
