Dynamic Neural Network Predictive Compensation-Based Point-to-Point Iterative Learning Control With Nonuniform Batch Length

This article discusses the problem of nonuniform running length in incomplete tracking control, which often occurs in industrial processes due to artificial or environmental changes, such as chemical engineering. It affects the design and application of iterative learning control (ILC) that relies on the strictly repetitive property. Therefore, a dynamic neural network (NN) predictive compensation strategy is proposed under the point-to-point ILC framework. To handle the difficulty of establishing an accurate mechanism model for real process control, the data-driven approach is also introduced. First, applying the iterative dynamic linearization (IDL) technique and radial basis function NN (RBFNN) to construct the iterative dynamic predictive data model (IDPDM) relies on input-output (I/O) signal, and the extended variable is defined by a predictive model to compensate for the incomplete operation length. Then, a learning algorithm based on multiple iteration errors is proposed using an objective function. This learning gain is constantly updated through the NN to adapt to changes in the system. In addition, the composite energy function (CEF) and compression mapping prove that the system is convergent. Finally, two numerical simulation examples are given.
