Abstract

The artificial neural network based Predictive and Inverse model controller schemes are applied to the simulation of the time-dependent behavior of an isothermal Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR). In the first scheme, a methodology is proposed for training and prediction of dynamic behavior of isothermal CSTR using feedforward neural network. Then a nonlinear one step predictive control strategy based on identified model is proposed for CSTR control. In the second scheme, neural network based inverse model controller is presented. Here, the controller is a rearrangement of the plant model. The performances of both neural controllers are evaluated in simulation for both servo and regulatory problems and the results are compared with PID controller.

Keywords
