Optimal Gain Estimation of PID Controller Using Neural Networks

Recently, neural network techniques are widely used in adaptive and learning control schemes for production systems. However, in general it takes up a lot of time to learn in the case applied in control system. Furthermore, the physical meaning of neural networks constructed as a result is not obvious. And in practice since it is difficult for the PID gains suitably, lots of researches have been reported with respect of turning schemes of PID gains. A neural network-based PID control scheme is proposed, which extracts skills of human experts as PID gains. This controller is designed by using three-layered neural networks. The effectiveness of the proposed neural network-based PID control scheme is investigated through an application for a production control system. This control method can enable a plant to operate smoothy and obviously as the plant condition varies with any unexpected accidents.
