Application of Neural Networks in the Control System of Electric Drives of Drying Sections in a Paper Machine

During the manufacture of various grades of paper, the control system of electric drives is affected by a large number of both internal and external disturbing influences, e.g. temperature and pressure in the room where the paper machine (PM) stands, pressure and volume of steam in the drying cylinder, etc. The paper discusses the construction of an observer for controlling the moisture content of the paper web during drying, as well as speed control during the movement of the paper web using neural controllers.
