Abstract: | A multistep model predictive control (MPC) strategy based on dynamically recurrent radial basis function networks (RBFNs) is proposed for single-input single-output (SISO) control of uncertain nonlinear processes. The control system consists of two automatically configured RBFNs, a trained network representing the plant model and a network with on-line learning to function as controller. The automatic configuration and learning of the networks is carried out by using a hierarchically self-organizing learning algorithm. This control strategy is structurally simple and computationally efficient since a single output node of each RBFN is configured to provide multistep predictions for plant output and controller. The performance of the proposed RBFNMPC strategy is evaluated by applying to two unstable nonlinear chemical processes, a chemical reactor and a biochemical reactor, and also a stable polymerization reactor. Further, the results of the RBFNMPC is compared with similar RBFN model based control strategies and also with well tuned PID/PI controller. The results show the better performance of the proposed RBFNMPC for the control of open-loop unstable nonlinear processes that exhibit multiple steady-state behavior. |
