Consequently, optimization control in batch processes is crucial in order to derive the maximum benefit. In this paper, a run-to-run product quality control based on iterative learning optimization control is developed. Moreover, a rigorous theorem is proposed and proven in this paper, which states that the tracking error under the optimal iterative learning control （ILC） law can converge to zero. In this paper, a typical nonlinear batch continuous stirred tank reactor （CSTR） is considered, and the results show that the performance of trajectory tracking is gradually improved by the ILC.展开更多

In order to overcome the lack of robustness of a single neural network, bootstrap aggregated neural networks are used to build reliable data based empirical models. Apart from improving the model generalisation capability, a bootstrap aggregated neural network can also provide model prediction confidence bounds. A reliable optimal control method by incorporating model prediction confidence bounds into the optimisation objective function is presented. A neural network based iterative learning control strategy is presented to overcome the problem due to unknown disturbances and model-plant mismatches. The proposed methods are demonstrated on a simulated batch polymerisation process.展开更多
