Abstract

A nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) strategy based on recurrent neural networks (RNN) is proposed for a single‐input single‐output system (SISO) to control the uncertain nonlinear process. The automatic configuration and modeling of the networks is carried out using a recurrent Elman network using back propagation through time (BPTT) with MATLAB. Identification of the process is performed with a RNN based nonlinear autoregressive with exogenous input (NARX) model and the incorporation of the developed model in the formulation of NMPC is presented. Further, the results of the NMPC is compared with a well tuned IMC based PI controller, which shows a better performance based on the rise time and settling time of the proposed NMPC scheme for the control of an unstable bioreactor.
