Swapnaja Chidrawar, Sadhana Chidrawar . Neural Network - based Control Strategies Applied to a Chemical Reactor Process. National Conference on Recent Trends in Computing. NCRTC, 7 (May 2012), 32-34.
This paper is focused on issues of process modeling and model based control strategy of chemical reactor process applying the concept of artificial neural networks (ANNs). The control objective is to force the operation into optimal supersaturating trajectory. It is achieved by; manipulating coolant flow rate, the influent concentration of compound is control. Model predictive control (MPC) alternative is considered. Adequate ANN process models are first built as part of the controller structures. MPC algorithm outperforms satisfactory reference tracking and smooth control action while for the IMC an analytical control solution was determined.
