Control of Nonminimum Phase Systems with Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithm

It is well known that, for nominimum phase systems, a conventional linear controller of PID type or an adaptive controller of this structure shows limitation in achieving a satisfactory performance under tight specifications. In this paper, we combine a neuro-controller with a PI-controller with off-line learning capability provided by the Genetic Algorithm to propose a novel neuro-controller to control nonminimum phase systems effectively. The simulation results show that our proposed model is more efficient with faster rising time and less undershoot effect when the performances of the proposed controller and a conventional form are compared.
