A Study on the STC Utilizing Expert Control Technique |
| Abstract |
In systematic tuning of digital STC parameters, systems with time-varying parameters and systems with time-varying delays are studied individually because of many preconditions and difficulties. In order to eliminate all these difficulties effectively, the expert control technique is required to enhance STC control functions. In this paper, an expert controller, a STC utilizing expert control technique, for process control is designed. The expert controller is composed of an unstability indicator for detecting plant unstability, an expert back-up controller and an expert STC which are switched each other by the unstability indication, and expert system with knowledge base and inference engine. This expert controller is able to perform control functions successfuly for the following` 1) a system which has unknown and time-varying delay time, 2) a time-varying system which has unknown parameters, and 3) a system with minimun and non-minimum phase. The robust control function is demonstrated by computer simulations. |
