Neural network control with fuzzy logic compensation

This paper presents a new AI based control strategy. A dynamic neural network is used to identify the plant on-line. The control signal is then calculated iteratively according to the responses of a reference model and the identified neural model of the process. A fuzzy logic block with four very simple rules is added to the loop to improve the overall loop properties. This synergetic AI control paradigm is tested via simulation. The results demonstrate that the proposed control strategy provides better disturbance rejection and tracking properties of the control loop than those achieved by an optimally tuned PID controller.
