Abstract In this paper, implementation of deep neural networks applied in process control is presented. In our approach, training of the neural network is based on model predictive control, which is popular for its ability to be tuned by the weighting matrices and for it respecting the system constraints. A neural network that can approximate the MPC behavior by mimicking the control input trajectory while the constraints on states and control input remain unimpaired by the weighting matrices is introduced. This approach is demonstrated in a simulation case study involving a continuous stirred tank reactor where a multi-component chemical reaction takes place.

AbstractA case study of the robust model-based predictive control (MPC) of an exothermic continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) with uncertain parameters is presented. Three robust MPC approaches are considered and the simulation results are compared in terms of quality of control performance and total consumption of coolant. The results reveal the main benefits of the considered approaches and confirm that the robust MPC can bring about a reduction in consumption of the coolant.

AbstractThis paper presents a case study of model predictive control (MPC) applied to a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). It is proposed to approximate nonlinear behavior of a plant by several local linear models, enabling a piecewise affine (PWA) description of the model used to predict and optimize future evolution of the reactor behavior. Main advantage of the PWA model over traditional approaches based on single linearization is a significant increase of model accuracy which leads to a better control quality. It is also illustrated that, by adopting the PWA modeling framework, MPC strategy can be implemented using significantly less computational power compared to nonlinear MPC setups.

Fault diagnosis is an important problem in the process of chemical industry and the artificial neural network is widely applied in fault diagnosis of chemical process. A hybrid algorithm combining ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm with back-propagation (BP) algorithm, also referred to as ACO-BP algorithm, is proposed to train the neural network weights and thresholds. The basic theory and steps of ACO-BP algorithm are given, and applied in fault diagnosis of the continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR). Experimental results prove that ACO-BP algorithm has good fault diagnosis precision, and it can detect the fault in CSTR promptly and effectively.

In this work, a Neural network based predictive controller is analyzed to a non linear continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) carrying out series and parallel reactions: A→B→C and 2A→D. In the first step, the neural network model of continuous stirred tank reactor is obtained by Levenburg- Marquard training. The data for the training the network is generated using state space model of continuous stirred tank reactor. The neural network model of continuous stirred tank reactor is used in model predictive controller design. The performance of present neural network based model predictive controller (NNMPC) is evaluated through simulations for servo & regulatory problems of CSTR. The performance of neural network based predictive controller is found to be superior than conventional PI controller for setpoint tracking problems.

A model-based predictive control system is designed for a copolymerization reactor. These processes typically have such a high nonlinear dynamic behavior to make practically ineffective the conventional control techniques, still so widespread in process and polymer industries. A predictive controller is adopted in this work, given the success this family of controllers is having in many chemical processes and oil refineries, especially due to their possibility of including bounds on both manipulated and controlled variables. The solution copolymerization of methyl methacrylate with vinyl acetate in a continuous stirred tank reactor is considered as an industrial case study for the analysis of the predictive control robustness in the field of petrochemical and polymer production. Both regulatory and servo problems scenarios are considered to check tangible benefits deriving from model-based predictive controller implementation.

To solve the problem of constant power control of shearer cutting machine, the nonlinear predictive control method based on Neural Network was proposed in this thesis. In the method, the cutting current was used to identify the cutting load, and the Neural Network was used to predict and control the traction speed. A Neural Network model was built by the current and speed to control the cutting power of shearer. In MATLAB, the field data was used to simulate and the simulation verify the proposed scheme is better than PID method.
