An adaptive version of growing and pruning RBF neural network has been used to predict the system output and implement Linear Model-Based Predictive Controller (LMPC) and Non-linear Model-based Predictive Controller (NMPC) strategies. A radial-basis neural network with growing and pruning capabilities is introduced to carry out on-line model identification.An Unscented Kal...

This contribution presents program in MATLAB’s Graphical User Interface (GUI) which can be used for investigating of the static and dynamic behaviour and adaptive control of the nonlinear system represented by Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR). Program provides computation for various values of the input variables which made this program universal for the wide range of the users without th...

A non-linear modelling technique is presented which uses a non-parametric bilinear representation in the form of a linear and a series of bilinear impulse coefficients. The technique is applied in simulation to the identification of a non-linear continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and the resulting model is shown to satisfy correlation based non-linear validity tests. It is also compared wit...

Recent work at the Centre for Speech Technology Research (CSTR) at the University of Edinburgh has developed an accent-independent lexicon for speech synthesis (the Unisyn project). The main purpose of this lexicon is to avoid the problems and cost of writing a new lexicon for every new accent needed for synthesis. Only recently [1], a first attempt has been made to use the Keyword Lexicon for ...

Abstract The development of continuous flow electrochemical reactors is required to overcome the limitations conventional batch for treatment large flows effluents. Therefore, objective this study was develop and characterize a new pilot-scale reactor using BDD anode carbon felt cathode operating in mode. First, “Design Experiment” analysis performed order identify most critical parameters perc...

Many real-world applications require minimization of a cost function. This function is the criterion that figures out optimally. In the control engineering, this criterion is used in the design of optimal controllers. Cost function optimization has difficulties including calculating gradient function and lack of information about the system and the control loop. In this article, for the first t...

Lipids inhibition and their degradation in dairy wastewater treatment were investigated in this study. A two-phase system, composed of an acidogenic continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and a methanogenic upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor, was compared with the single-phase system of a conventional UASB reactor. The systems were operated up to an organic loading rate of 8.09 g ...
