Central Heating System Constrained Control with Input Delay Based on Neural Networks

الملخص EN

An output constrained control with input delay is proposed for a central heating system.

Due to the delay of signal transmission and valves opening time, an input delay is considered into the system and an auxiliary system is employed to handle this issue by converting the delayed input into a delay-free one.

Moreover, to ensure the output supply water temperature within a limited range, Barrier Lyapunov algorithm is involved to achieve desired control accuracy.

Finally, external disturbance and model uncertainty are incorporated into the dynamic system and neural networks (NN) are trained in an online fashion for the compensation.

The stability of the control system is guaranteed through rigorous Lyapunov analysis and the excellent control performance over traditional PID control is demonstrated via numerical simulation study.
