Identification of fractional order Hammerstein models based on mixed signals

An algorithm based on mixed signals is proposed,to solve the issues of low accuracy of identification algorithm,immeasurable intermediate variables of fractional order Hammerstein model,and how to determine the magnitude of fractional order.In this paper,a special mixed input signal is designed to separate the nonlinear and linear parts of the fractional order Hammerstein model so that each part can be identified independently.The nonlinear part is fitted by the neural fuzzy network model,which avoids the limitation of polynomial fitting and broadens the application range of nonlinear models.In addition,the multi-innovation Levenberg-Marquardt(MILM)algorithm and auxiliary recursive least square algorithm are innovatively integrated into the parameter identification algorithm of the fractional order Hammerstein model to obtain more accurate identification results.A simulation example is given to verify the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Recursive least squares identification for piecewise affine Hammerstein models

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to probe the recursive identification of piecewise affine Hammerstein models directly by using input-output data.To explain the identification process of a parametric piecewise affine nonlinear function,the authors prove that the inverse function corresponding to the given piecewise affine nonlinear function is also an equivalent piecewise affine form.Based on this equivalent property,during the detailed identification process with respect to piecewise affine function and linear dynamical system,three recursive least squares methods are proposed to identify those unknown parameters under the probabilistic description or bounded property of noise.Design/methodology/approach-First,the basic recursive least squares method is used to identify those unknown parameters under the probabilistic description of noise.Second,multi-innovation recursive least squares method is proposed to improve the efficiency lacked in basic recursive least squares method.Third,to relax the strict probabilistic description on noise,the authors provide a projection algorithm with a dead zone in the presence of bounded noise and analyze its two properties.Findings-Based on complex mathematical derivation,the inverse function of a given piecewise affine nonlinear function is also an equivalent piecewise affine form.As the least squares method is suited under one condition that the considered noise may be a zero mean random signal,a projection algorithm with a dead zone in the presence of bounded noise can enhance the robustness in the parameter update equation.Originality/value-To the best knowledge of the authors,this is the first attempt at identifying piecewise affine Hammerstein models,which combine a piecewise affine function and a linear dynamical system.In the presence of bounded noise,the modified recursive least squares methods are efficient in identifying two kinds of unknown parameters,so that the common set membership method can be replaced by the proposed methods.

Modeling of a distillation column based on NARMAX and Hammerstein models

The modeling of distillation column process is a very challenging problem because of the complex dynamic behavior.This paper investigates a Nonlinear Autoregressive Moving Average with eXogenous input(NARMAX)model,and a Hammerstein model to approximate the evolution of the overhead temperature in a separation system.The model development and validation are studied through experiments carried out on a distillation plant of laboratory scale.Three model order selection criteria such as Aikeke’s Information Criterion(AIC),Root Mean Square Error(RMSE)and Nash–Sutcliffe Efficiency(NSE)are used to evaluate the prediction performance of the process behavior.The results illustrate that both models produce acceptable predictions but the NARMAX model outperforms the Hammerstein model.

PEMFC Identification Based on a Fractional-Order Hammerstein State-Space Model with ADE-BH Optimization

Considering the fractional-order and nonlinear characteristics of proton exchange membrane fuel cells(PEMFC),a fractional-order subspace identification method based on the ADE-BH optimization algorithm is proposed to establish a fractional-order Hammerstein state-space model of PEMFCs.Herein,a Hammerstein model is constructed by connecting a linear module and a nonlinear module in series to precisely depict the nonlinear property of the PEMFC.During the modeling process,fractional-order theory is combined with subspace identification,and a Poisson filter is adopted to enable multi-order derivability of the data.A variable memory method is introduced to reduce computation time without losing precision.Additionally,to improve the optimization accuracy and avoid obtaining locally optimum solutions,a novel ADEBH algorithm is employed to optimize the unknown parameters in the identification method.In this algorithm,the Euclidean distance serves as the theoretical basis for updating the target vector in the absorption-generation operation of the black hole(BH)algorithm.Finally,simulations demonstrate that the proposed model has small output error and high accuracy,indicating that the model can accurately describe the electrical characteristics of the PEMFC process.

Identification of Hammerstein Model Using Hybrid Neural Networks

The identification problem of Hammerstein model with extension to the multi input multi output (MIMO) case is studied. The proposed identification method uses a hybrid neural network (HNN) which consists of a multi layer feed forward neural network (MFNN) in cascade with a linear neural network (LNN). A unified back propagation (BP) algorithm is proposed to estimate the weights and the biases of the MFNN and the LNN simultaneously. Numerical examples are provided to show the efficiency of the proposed method.

Modelling of ultrasonic motor with dead-zone based on Hammerstein model structure

The ultrasonic motor (USM) possesses heavy nonlinearities which vary with driving conditions and load-dependent characteristics such as the dead-zone. In this paper, an identification method for the rotary travelling-wave type ultrasonic motor (RTWUSM) with dead-zone is proposed based on a modified Hammerstein model structure. The driving voltage contributing effect on the nonlinearities of the RTWUSM was transformed to the change of dynamic parameters against the driving voltage. The dead-zone of the RTWUSM is identified based upon the above transformation. Experiment results showed good agreement be- tween the output of the proposed model and actual measured output.

The control simulation of a strong nonlinear p H neutralization process was carried out and good control performance was achieved.

Nonlinear Model Algorithmic Control of a pH Neutralization Process

Control of pH neutralization processes is challenging in the chemical process industry because of their inherent strong nonlinearity. In this paper, the model algorithmic control (MAC) strategy is extended to nonlinear processes using Hammerstein model that consists of a static nonlinear polynomial function followed in series by a linear impulse response dynamic element. A new nonlinear Hammerstein MAC algorithm (named NLH-MAC) is presented in detail. The simulation control results of a pH neutralization process show that NLH-MAC gives better control performance than linear MAC and the commonly used industrial nonlinear propotional plus integral plus derivative (PID) controller. Further simulation experiment demonstrates that NLH-MAC not only gives good control response, but also possesses good stability and robustness even with large modeling errors.
