Intelligent control using multiple models based on on-line learning

In this paper we deal with the problem of plants with large parameter variations under different operating modes. A novel intelligent control algorithm based on multiple models is proposed to improve the dynamical response performance. At the same time adaptive model bank is applied to establish models without prior system information. Multiple models and corresponding controllers are automatically established on-line by a conventionally adaptive model and a re-initialized one. A best controller is chosen by the performance function at every instant. The closed-loop system’s stability and asymptotical convergence of tracking error can be guaranteed. Simulation results have confirmed the validity of the proposed method.
