Nonlinear System Control Using Neural Networks

The paper is focused especially on presenting possibilities of applying off-linetrained artificial neural networks at creating the system inverse models that are used atdesigning control algorithm for non-linear dynamic system. The ability of cascadefeedforward neural networks to model arbitrary non-linear functions and their inverses isexploited. This paper presents a quasi-inverse neural model, which works as a speedcontroller of an induction motor. The neural speed controller consists of two cascadefeedforward neural networks subsystems. The first subsystem provides desired statorcurrent components for control algorithm and the second subsystem providescorresponding voltage components for PWM converter. The availability of the proposedcontroller is verified through the MATLAB simulation. The effectiveness of the controller isdemonstrated for different operating conditions of the drive system.
