The management of irrigation main canals are studied in this research. One way improving is designing an efficient automatic control system the water that flows through canal pools, which usually carried out by PI controllers. However, since pools systems with large time delays and nonlinear hydrodynamics, these PIs tuned a very conservative so closed-loop instability may appear depending on ch...

  Abstract: In this paper, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used for modeling the nonlinear structure of a debutanizer column in a refinery gas process plant. The actual input-output data of the system were measured in order to be used for system identification based on root mean square error (RMSE) minimization approach. It was shown that the designed recurrent neural network is able to pr...

A novel prediction scheme is proposed for real-time MPEG video to predict the burst and long-range dependent traffic. The trend and periodic characteristics of MPEG video traffic are fully captured by a proposed stochastic state-space dynamic model. Then a recursive filtering algorithm is proposed to estimate traffic for long-range prediction. Simulation results based on real MPEG traffic data ...

Nonlinear empirical models are used in various applications. During model-building, five major steps usually have to be carried out: model structure selection, determination of input variables, complexity adjustment of the model, parameter estimation and model validation. These steps have to be repeated until a satisfactory model is found, which can be very time consuming and may require user i...

This paper describes the development of neural model-based control strategies for the optimisation of an industrial aluminium substrate disk grinding process. The grindstone removal rate varies considerably over a stone life and is a highly nonlinear function of process variables. Using historical grindstone performance data, a NARX-based neural network model is developed. This model is then us...

This paper introduces a novel ensemble learning approach based on recurrent radial basis function networks (RRBFN) for time series prediction with the aim of increasing the prediction accuracy. Standing for the base learner in this ensemble, the adaptive recurrent network proposed is based on the nonlinear autoregressive with exogenous input model (NARX) and works according to a multi-step (MS)...

Identi cation results for the shaft-speed dynamics of an aircraft gas turbine, under normal operation, are presented. As it has been found that the dynamics vary with the operating point, nonlinear models are employed. Two di7erent approaches are considered: NARX models, and neural network models, namely multilayer perceptrons, radial basis function networks and B-spline networks. A special att...

This paper discusses neural multi-models based on Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) networks and a computationally efficient nonlinear Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithm which uses such models. Thanks to the nature of the model it calculates future predictions without using previous predictions. This means that, unlike the classical Nonlinear Auto Regressive with eXternal input (NARX) model, t...

The hysteretic nonlinear dependence of pre-sliding friction force on displacement is modeled using different physics-based and black-box approaches including various Maxwell-slip models, NARX models, neural networks, nonparametric (local) models and dynamical networks. The efficiency and accuracy of these identification methods is compared for an experimental time series where the observed fric...
