Fuzzy Controllers With Neural Network Predictor for Second-Order Linear Systems With Time Delay

Artificial intelligence methods are widely applied in advanced control practices such as fuzzy calculation-based intelligent control method, neural network-based predictive control method, etc. Control performances are expected to be improved such as: faster control speed, smaller steady-state error, and less repeated manual tuning workloads in harmful environments for engineers. Main works are as follows: Firstly, change ratio-based fuzzy adjusted PID (FA-PID) method is improved. The adjusted parameters of FA-PID are the multiplication result of the change ratioa at the current control cycle and the control parameters at the time of previous adjustment cycle. Secondly, prediction of back propagation neural networks-based fuzzy-PID (BPNN-F-PID) and prediction of back propagation neural networks-based FA-PID (BPNN-FA-PID) are improved, in which the adjusted control parameters are calculated according to the predicted output of control system. Thirdly, comparative simulations of all the above methods are implemented, a series of better effects are found. Effects are as follows: The improved controllers have better performance such as faster control speed, better ability of anti-interference, restrained overshoot and smaller steady-state error.
