The computation burden in the model-based predictive control algorithm is heavy when solving QR optimization with a limited sampling step, especially for a complicated system with large dimension. A fast algorithm is proposed in this paper to solve this problem, in which real-time values are modulated to bit streams to simplify the multiplication. In addition, manipulated variables in the prediction horizon are deduced to the current control horizon approximately by a recursive relation to decrease the dimension of QR optimization. The simulation results demonstrate the feasibility of this fast algorithm for MIMO systems.

For solving some process control engineering problems which can be treated as a time-series, a fast and accurate self-organization learning strategy is proposed based on the significance evaluation of hidden neurons with respect to the network output. This approach is introduced to optimize the architecture and parameters of span-lateral inhibition neural network (S-LINN) simultaneously. The insignificant neuron(s) will be pruned automated step by step based on the determination of significance index. The proposed self-organizing approach has been tested on one time-series prediction benchmark problem. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method has good exploration and exploitation capabilities in terms of searching the optimal structure and parameters for S-LINN.

Catalytic naphtha reforming is one of the most important processes for high octane gasoline manufacture and aromatic hydrocarbons production. In this article, a modified differential evolution (DE) algorithm is proposed to optimize an actual continuous catalytic naphtha reforming (CCR) process. The optimization problem considers to minimize the energy consumption and maximize the aromatics yield. The CCR process model is established by adopting the 27-lumped kinetics reaction network, and all parameters are adjusted based on the actual process data. The DE algorithm is modified to maintain the diversity of the population. In this mechanism, individuals further from the best individual have larger possibilities to be selected in the mutation operator. The modified DE is evaluated by solving 6 benchmark functions, and the performance is compared with classic DEs. The results demonstrate that the modified DE has better global search ability and higher computation efficiency. Furthermore, the optimization results of catalytic naphtha reforming process indicate that the proposed algorithm has the ability of locating the optimal operating points, in which the aromatics yield is improved, while energy consumption is reduced. Meanwhile, the optimal operating points and results are discussed at the end of the article.

control performance monitoring has attracted great attention in both academia and industry over the past two decades. However, most research efforts have been devoted to the performance monitoring of linear control systems, without considering the pervasive nonlinearities(e.g. valve stiction) present in most industrial control systems. In this work, a novel probability distribution distance based index is proposed to monitor the performance of non-linear control systems. The proposed method uses Hellinger distance to evaluate change of control system performance. Several simulation examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Optimizing operational parameters for syngas production of Texaco coal-water slurry gasifier studied in this paper is a complicated nonlinear constrained problem concerning 3 BP(Error Back Propagation) neural networks. To solve this model, a new 3-layer cultural evolving algorithm framework which has a population space, a medium space and a belief space is firstly conceived. Standard differential evolution algorithm(DE), genetic algorithm(GA), and particle swarm optimization algorithm(PSO) are embedded in this framework to build 3-layer mixed cultural DE/GA/PSO(3LM-CDE, 3LM-CGA, and 3LM-CPSO) algorithms. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed hybrid algorithms are firstly tested in 20 benchmark nonlinear constrained functions. Then, the operational optimization model for syngas production in a Texaco coal-water slurry gasifier of a real-world chemical plant is solved effectively. The simulation results are encouraging that the 3-layer cultural algorithm evolving framework suggests ways in which the performance of DE, GA, PSO and other population-based evolutionary algorithms(EAs) can be improved,and the optimal operational parameters based on 3LM-CDE algorithm of the syngas production in the Texaco coalwater slurry gasifier shows outstanding computing results than actual industry use and other algorithms.

Brain computer interface (BCI) could help patients to manipulate external devices based on the specific brain activities. One of the most popular BCI systems is the visual-based BCI system. Mostly, users were asked to pay attention not only to the target stimulus, but also to the real control target which would bring high workload to users and affect the control efficiency of BCI systems. In this paper, a real-time monitoring system was developed to solve this problem by showing the environment information from the camera on the computer screen. Five subjects took part in this experiment and all of them were asked to control a small car to the target position. Our result showed that all subjects could finish the task within two or three minutes. In this study, subject did not need to switch their attention on the car which was out of their sight, and it would help to improve the usability of BCI in the practical application.

This paper investigates the uniformly ultimate boundedness (UUB) of an identifier-based adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) algorithm proposed in [7]. It is demonstrated that the estimation errors of weights in both critic and action networks are UUB during iteration learning. Moreover, a selection method on learning rates is also given.
Without the explicit process identification, the authors propose a model-free adaptive control framework for unknown plant by using the concept of equivalent dynamic linearisation controller. The controller has linear...

This paper presents robust optimization models for a multi-product integrated problem of planning and scheduling (based on the work of Terrazas-Moreno & Grossmann (2011) [1]) under products prices uncertainty. With the objective of maximizing the total profit in planning time horizon, the planning section determines the amount of each product, each product distributed to each market, and the inventory level in each manufacturing site during each scheduling time period;the scheduling section determines the products sequence, start and end time of each product running in each production site during each scheduling time period. The uncertainty sets used in robust optimization model are box set, ellipsoidal set, polyhedral set, combined box and ellipsoidal set, combined box and polyhedral set, combined box, ellipsoidal and polyhedral set. The genetic algorithm is utilized to solve the robust optimization models. Case studies show that the solutions obtained from robust optimization models are better than the solutions obtained from the original integrated planning and scheduling when the prices are changed.
