Adaptive Neural Network Control of Thermoacoustic Instability in Rijke Tube: A Fully Actuated System Approach

Thermoacoustic instability phenomena often encounter in gas turbine combustors,especially for the premixed combustor design,with many possible detrimental results.As a classical experiment,the Rijke tube is the simplest and the most effective illustration to study the thermoacoustic instability.This paper investigates the active control approach of the thermoacoustic instability in a horizontal Rijke tube.What’s more,the radial basis function(RBF)neural network is adopted to estimate the complex unknown continuous nonlinear heat release rate in the Rijke tube.Then,based on the proposed second-order fully actuated system model,the authors present an adaptive neural network controller to guarantee the flow velocity fluctuation and pressure fluctuation to converge to a small region of the origin.Finally,simulation results demonstrate the feasibility of the design method.

Adaptive Backstepping Output Feedback Control for SISO Nonlinear System Using Fuzzy Neural Networks

In this paper, a new fuzzy-neural adaptive control approach is developed for a class of single-input and single-output （SISO） nonlinear systems with unmeasured states. Using fuzzy neural networks to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions, a fuzzy- neural adaptive observer is introduced for state estimation as well as system identification. Under the framework of the backstepping design, fuzzy-neural adaptive output feedback control is constructed recursively. It is proven that the proposed fuzzy adaptive control approach guarantees the global boundedness property for all the signals, driving the tracking error to a small neighbordhood of the origin. Simulation example is included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Control of Halo-Chaos in Beam Transport Network via Neural Network Adaptation with Time-Delayed Feedback

Subject of the halo-chaos control in beam transport networks （channels） has become a key concerned issue for many important applications of high-current proton beam since 1990＇. In this paper, the magnetic field adaptive control based on the neural network with time-delayed feedback is proposed for suppressing beam halo-chaos in the beam transport network with periodic focusing channels. The envelope radius of high-current proton beam is controlled to reach the matched beam radius by suitably selecting the control structure and parameter of the neural network, adjusting the delayed-time and control coefficient of the neural network.

Neural Network Based Adaptive Tracking of Nonlinear Multi-Agent System

In this paper,the problems of robust consensus tracking control for the second-order multi-agent system with uncertain model parameters and nonlinear disturbances are considered.An adaptive control strategy is proposed to smooth the agent’s trajectory,and the neural network is constructed to estimate the system’s unknown components.The consensus conditions are demonstrated for tracking a leader with nonlinear dynamics under an adaptive control algorithm in the absence of model uncertainties.Then,the results are extended to the system with unknown time-varying disturbances by applying the neural network estimation to compensating for the uncertain parts of the agents’models.Update laws are designed based on the Lyapunov function terms to ensure the effectiveness of robust control.Finally,the theoretical results are verified by numerical simulations,and a comparative experiment is conducted,showing that the trajectories generated by the proposed method exhibit less oscillation and converge faster.

Adaptive inverse control of air supply flow for proton exchange membrane fuel cell systems

To prevent the oxygen starvation and improve the system output performance, an adaptive inverse control （AIC） strategy is developed to regulate the air supply flow of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell （PEMFC） system in this paper. The PEMFC stack and the air supply system including a compressor and a supply manifold are modeled for the purpose of performance analysis and controller design. A recurrent fuzzy neural network （RFNN） is utilized to identify the inverse model of the controlled system and generates a suitable control input during the abrupt step change of external disturbances. Compared with the PI controller, numerical simulations are performed to validate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed AIC strategy.

Adaptive neural networks control for uncertain parabolic distributed parameter systems with nonlinear periodic time-varying parameter

This paper studies the problem of adaptive neural networks control(ANNC) for uncertain parabolic distributed parameter systems(DPSs) with nonlinear periodic time-varying parameter(NPTVP). Firstly, the uncertain nonlinear dynamic and unknown periodic TVP are represented by using neural networks(NNs) and Fourier series expansion(FSE), respectively. Secondly, based on the ANNC and reparameterization approaches, two control algorithms are designed to make the uncertain parabolic DPSs with NPTVP asymptotically stable. The sufficient conditions of the asymptotically stable for the resulting closed-loop systems are also derived. Finally, a simulation is carried out to verify the effectiveness of the two control algorithms designed in this work.

Barrier Lyapunov Function-Based Finite-Time Dynamic Surface Control for Output-Constrained Nonstrict-Feedback Systems

This paper investigates a finite-time tracking problem for the uncertainty nonlinear systems in nonstrict-feedback form,in which the output signal is restricted in a region.Based on the barrier Lyapunov function and dynamic surface control scheme,a novel adaptive neural controller is proposed by using the finite-time Lyapunov technology.Unlike the aforementioned literature on finite time tracking control,the violation of system output constraint is avoided by combining the barrier Lyapunov function method with finite-time theory.The structural characteristics of neural network is introduced to expand the adaptive neural finite-time backstepping method to the uncertainty nonlinear systems in the non-strict form.Correspondingly,the dynamic surface control is introduced to cope with the problem of“explosion of complexity”inherent in conventional backstepping scheme.It is shown that the designed controller can achieve finite-time tracking control and all the variables in the closed-loop system are bounded with output constraint guaranteed form stability analysis and simulation results.
