Dynamic Neural Network Control DNNC A NonConventional Neural

Dynamic Neural Network Control (DNNC): A Non-Conventional Neural Network Model Masoud Nikravesh EECS Department, CS Division BISC Program University of California Berkeley, California Abstract: In this study, Dynamic Neural Network Control methodology for model identification and control of nonlinear processes is presented. The methodology uses several techniques: Dynamic Neural Network Control (DNNC) network structure, neuro-statistical (neural network & non-parametric statistical technique such as ACE; Alternative Conditional Expectation) techniques, model-based control strategy, and stability analysis techniques such as Liapunov theory. In this study, the DNNC model is used because it is much easier to update and adapt the network on-line. In addition, this technique in conjunction with References: Levenberge-Marquardt algorithm can be used as a more robust technique for network training and optimization purposes. The ACE technique is used for scaling the 1. M. Nikravesh, A. E. Farell, T. G.

Conclusions • The DNNC strategy differs from previous neural network controllers because the network structure is very simple, having limited nodes in the input and hidden layers. • As a result of its simplicity, the DNNC design and implementation are easier than other control strategies such as conventional and hybrid neural networks. • In addition to offering a better initialization of network weights, the inverse of the process is exact and does not involve approximation error. • DNNC’s ability to model nonlinear process behavior does not appear to suffer as a result of its simplicity. • For the nonlinear, time varying case, the performance of DNNC was compared to the PID control strategy. • In comparison with PID control, DNNC showed significant improvement with faster response time toward the setpoint for the servo problem. • The DNNC strategy is also able to reject unmodeled disturbances more effectively. • DNNC showed excellent performance in controlling the complex processes in the region where the PID controller failed. • It has been shown that the DNNC controller strategy is robust enough to perform well over a wide range of operating conditions.
