Abstract
This paper investigates the use of neural networks in the design of control systems. For that, it was considered two different neural control structures, namely the stabilizing and the adaptive reference model control systems. The analysis tries to understand to which extent the introduction of neural networks improves a process control. The control systems are simulated and analyzed for several reference inputs with and without added noise in the sensor. The simulation results show the improved performance of the control systems with neural networks.
