Book Genetic Algorithms in On line Control and System Identification

Download or read book Genetic Algorithms in On line Control and System Identification written by Muktar Ahmad and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last couple of decades Genetic Algorithms (GAs) have remained the interest of researchers in many fields. Most of the applications are so far limited to simulations and off-line applications. This thesis presents the evaluation of GAs in real-time controller optimisation and system identification of a heating system. Beginning with the off-line tuning of a Proportional Integral (PI) controller, the aim was to develop an on-line tuning algorithm which results in a controller, which can respond equally to set-point change and disturbance. The controller was tested in both, simulation and experiment. It was observed that, though increasing the number of chromosomes in the GA generation, significantly accelerated the convergence process it took more computer memory and time. Overall GA provided better tuning in both the situations with the restricted number of chromosomes. In system identification, the effect of different probabilities of mutation and crossover, and different number of chromosomes, was studied. The on-line GA identification together with Generalised Predictive Control (GPC) provided better control of the system temperature, with fast set-point tracking and good disturbance rejection. It was observed that, unlike Recursive Least Squares (RLS) estimators, changing the GPC parameters did not effect the GA parameter estimates. The principle conclusion was that, the methods developed in control and system identification were more robust and practical, and worthy of more extensive research and development. Further suggestions were made to improve the GA performance in these areas. Some immediate applications were identified.

Book Identification and Control of Mechanical Systems

Download or read book Identification and Control of Mechanical Systems written by Jer-Nan Juang and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-08-06 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The control of vibrating systems is a significant issue in the design of aircraft, spacecraft, bridges and high-rise buildings. This 2001 book discusses the control of vibrating systems, integrating structural dynamics, vibration analysis, modern control and system identification. Integrating these subjects is an important feature in that engineers will need only one book, rather than several texts or courses, to solve vibration control problems. The book begins with a review of basic mathematics needed to understand subsequent material. Chapters then cover more recent and valuable developments in aerospace control and identification theory, including virtual passive control, observer and state-space identification, and data-based controller synthesis. Many practical issues and applications are addressed, with examples showing how various methods are applied to real systems. Some methods show the close integration of system identification and control theory from the state-space perspective, rather than from the traditional input-output model perspective of adaptive control. This text will be useful for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in aerospace, mechanical and civil engineering, as well as for practising engineers.

Book Intelligent Control in Drying

Download or read book Intelligent Control in Drying written by Alex Martynenko and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the available general literature in intelligent control, there is a definite lack of knowledge and know-how in practical applications of intelligent control in drying. This book fills that gap. Intelligent Control in Drying serves as an innovative and practical guide for researchers and professionals in the field of drying technologies, providing an overview of control principles and systems used in drying operations, from classical to model-based to adaptive and optimal control. At the same time, it lays out approaches to synthesis of control systems, based on the objectives and control strategies, reflecting complexity of drying process and material under drying. This essential reference covers both fundamental and practical aspects of intelligent control, sensor fusion and dynamic optimization with respect to drying.

Book Generalized Predictive Control And Bioengineering

Download or read book Generalized Predictive Control And Bioengineering written by M Mahfouf and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1998-08-27 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Predictive control is a powerful tool in dealing with those processes with large time delays. Generalized Predictive Control GPC is the most popular approach to the subject, and this text discusses the application of GPC starting with the concept of long-range predictive control and its need in medicine particularly automated drug deliveries.; The concept of adaptation is also emphasized with respect to patient-to-patient parameter variations. Subsequent chapters discuss interactions, comparisons and various aspects of GPC. The book concludes by putting into perspective the generic nature of the architecture built around GPC and which provides model-based fault diagnosis with control.

Since then, biennial AVEC symposia have been established internationally and have considerably contributed to the progress of technology in automotive research and development. In 2016 the 13th International Symposium on Advanced Vehicle Control (AVEC’16) was held in Munich, Germany, from 13th to 16th of September 2016. The symposium was hosted by the Munich University of Applied Sciences. AVEC’16 puts a special focus on automatic driving, autonomous driving functions and driver assist systems, integrated control of interacting control systems, controlled suspension systems, active wheel torque distribution, and vehicle state and parameter estimation. 132 papers were presented at the symposium and are published in these proceedings as full paper contributions. The papers review the latest research developments and practical applications in highly relevant areas of vehicle control, and may serve as a reference for researchers and engineers.

Book Multivariable Predictive Control Development and Application in Food Extrusion Processes

Download or read book Multivariable Predictive Control Development and Application in Food Extrusion Processes written by Feng Hong and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food extrusion is a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) process characterized by time-variant dynamics, long and variable time delays, nonlinearity, and input constraints. In this research, multivariable generalized predictive control (MGPC) was developed and applied in food extrusion control. First, a technique named as the max-max scheme was developed to deal with problems and difficulties resulting from unequal time in multivariable predictive control. Control accuracy and stability are improved by the scheme. Then, a generalized dual-target predictive control algorithm was developed to allow specification and tracking of both input and output set points in an optimal manner while limiting the size of input moves. Along with on-line recursive least-squares system identification, these techniques were implemented in control of a twin-screw food extruder. Experiment results prove the effectiveness of the techniques developed.
