Abstract
A new strategy, to augment the pH process control is offered in this paper. The intelligent controller proposed herein is based on an inverse neural plant model. An integration term is introduced to improve the pure inverse neural controller performance. This element, adjusted by a fuzzy system with respect to the control error, operates in parallel with the neural controller to ensure offset-free performance, in case of system uncertainties or modelling mismatch. Four fuzzy rules were applied to generate the integrator parameters. Experimental results, carried out under pH control on a laboratory scale set-up, demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed control system.
