Many fed-batch processes can be considered as a class of control-affine nonlinear systems. In this paper, a new methodology of neural networks, called the control Affine Feedforward Neural Network (CAFNN), is proposed. It can be trained easily. For constrained nonlinear optimization problems, it offers an effective and simple optimal control strategy by sequential quadratic programming in which the analytic gradient information can be computed directly. The proposed modeling and optimal control schemes are illustrated on an ethanol fermentation process. Compared with a general multilayer neural network, the nonlinear programming problem based on a CAFNN model is solved more accurately and efficiently.

A sequential training method for developing bootstrap aggregated neural network models is proposed in this paper. In this method, individual networks within a bootstrap aggregated neural network model are trained sequentially. The first network is trained to minimise its prediction error on the training data. In the training of subsequent networks, the training objective is not only to minimise the individual networks' prediction errors but also to minimise the correlation among the individual networks. Training data sets for the individual networks are different and are generated through bootstrap re-sampling of the original training data set. Training is terminated when the aggregated network prediction performance cannot be further improved. An application example demonstrates the superior performance of this neural network training strategy.

A training method for enhancing neural network model generalisation is proposed. In this method, a neural network is trained and tested alternatively on a training data set and a testing data set. Unlike in conventional neural network training where the training and testing data sets are fixed, the training and testing data sets swap roles continuously during network training. Training is terminated when the network prediction errors on both data sets cannot be further reduced. Application examples demonstrate that this neural network training strategy can significantly improve the neural tu network model prediction accuracy, especially the long range prediction accuracy.

Since it is generally difficult, if not impossible, to develop a perfect neural network, a single neural network can lack reliability. Therefore a single neural network based fault diagnosis system may not give reliable fault diagnosis. Neural network model reliability or robustness can be improved by combining several non-perfect neural networks. Each individual network is trained on a bootstrap re-sample of the original training data. The outputs from the individual networks are averaged to give the final diagnosis results. Applications of the proposed method to a continuous stirred tank reactor demonstrate that a stacked neural network can give more reliable diagnosis than a single neural network.

Different methods for combining multiple neural networks in order to improve model long range prediction performance are compared in this paper. It is shown that combining multiple non-perfect neural networks can improve model predictions, especially long range predictions. Among the different approaches, the principal component regression based approaches generally give very good performance. Selective combination is also very beneficial to the improvement of model predictions.

Optimisation of fed-batch processes can be described as a constrained nonlinear end-point dynamic optimisation problem. Although iterative dynamic programming (IDP) is feasible, it is usually very time-consuming and very difficult to apply to on-line optimisation because of solving the non-linear differential-algebraic equations of the process model in each iteration. The replacement of a rigorous mechanistic model by an equivalent neural network (NN) model takes the advantage of high speed processing, since simulation with a NN model involves only a few non-iterative algebraic calculations. To use IDP algorithm for NN model based on-line re-optimisation, a modified algorithm is proposed and is called as iterative dynamic programming for discrete-time system ( IDP/DTS ). The novel IDP/DTS algorithm can obtain a reduction of many times in computational time compared to the conventional IDP algorithm. In this paper, an effective optimisation and control scheme for on-line re-optimisation of fed-batch processes is proposed based on NN models and the novel IDP/DTS algorithm. The proposed scheme is illustrated using simulation studies of an ethanol fermentation process.

A single neural network model developed from a limited amount of data usually lacks robustness. Neural network model robustness can be enhanced by combining multiple neural networks. There are several approaches for combining neural networks. A comparison of these methods on three nonlinear dynamic system modelling case studies is carried out in this paper. It is shown that selective combination and combining networks of various structures generally improve model performance. The principal component regression approaches generally give quite consistent good performance.

This paper proposes a new closed-loop identification scheme for a single-input-single-output control loop. It is based upon a quantizer inserted into the feedback path. The quantizer can be used to generate an equivalent persistently exciting signal with which the well known two-stage and/or two-step method can be used directly. Simulation examples and an experimental demonstration are used to illustrate the proposed scheme.
