Previously, several attempts of automatic control have been tried unsuccessfully. This is essentially due to the fact that this kind of plants is a strongly coupled multivariable system, with nonlinearities and a large time delay. An other serious problem of the furnace to be controlled is the fact that it produces successively and periodically different types of windshields. So the plant is a time-varying system with periodic coefficients and disturbances. In this paper, an adequate combination of modern automatic control techniques, such as predictive control, the internal model of Morari and Smith predictor, have been used to obtain an original and efficient controller scheme for periodic plants. It has been tested on a real plant and has given satisfaction. An increase of the bending precision from 30% to 100% relatively to the manual control has been obtained.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":173370,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Control and Applications","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127218928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This system consists of a 40-kilometer long canal connected to three secondary canals and four main reservoirs supplied by a 7 m/sup 3/ s/sup -1/ river (the Bourne river). More than 20 pumping stations are distributed along the canals, bringing water to the agricultural plain of Valence (South-East of France). The system is currently manually operated through flow control gates. The author's medium-term objective is to automatically operate this system and to improve water distribution efficiency and safety. In terms of control the primary goal is to satisfy the water demand at each pumping station, while guaranteeing a minimum water level, overflow avoidance and minimum wastes of water, in each section and reservoir of the system. The author's approach is divided into two main stages. An on-line identification procedure based both on a multi-input multi-output parametrized model and Kalman filtering. A state-space predictive control scheme using a Kalman state estimator defined on the basis of the on-line identified model. The author shows how this control scheme can be decentralized in case of large-scale water distribution systems, such as the author's process.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":173370,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Control and Applications","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129088408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To realize the self-organized learning and control, a function evaluating the control effect is introduced to decide whether the on-line operational data can be chosen as the learning samples to train the controller, and how to train.

The training method is the recursive prediction error method using a Gauss-Newton search direction, known from linear system identification theory. Finally, the model and training methods are tested on a noisy, strongly non-linear, dynamic process, showing excellent results for the trained net to act as an actual system identifier, predictor and simulator. Further, the trained net allows actual on-line extraction of the parameter matrices of the model giving a basis for better control of the non-linear process.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":173370,"journal":{"name":"1994 Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Control and Applications","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123053589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
