Abstract

Model Predictive Control (MPC) refers to a class of algorithms that compute a sequence of manipulated variable adjustments in order to optimize the future behaviour of a plant. MPC technology can now be found in a wide variety of application areas. The neural network predictive controller that is discussed in this paper uses a neural network model of a nonlinear plant to predict future plant performance. The controller calculates the control input that will optimize plant performance over a specified future time horizon. In the paper the neural network based predictive control for the continuous stirred tank reactor is presented.
