Generalized performance of neural network controllers for feedforward active control of nonlinear systems

Generalized performance of neural network controllers for feedforward active control of nonlinear systems
Generalized performance of neural network controllers for feedforward active control of nonlinear systems
Over the past few decades, advances in digital technologies have allowed for the development of complex active control solutions for both vibration and acoustic control and have been utilised in a wide range of applications. Such control systems are commonly designed using linear filters which cannot fully capture the dynamics of nonlinear systems. To overcome such issues, it has previously been shown that replacing linear controllers with Neural Networks (NNs) can improve control performance in the presence of nonlinearities in both the system plant and primary path. However, the performance of the controller across excitation levels has not been frequently explored. Controllers with good performance across a range of excitation levels would be essential in the control of many real systems. In this paper, a method of training Multilayer Perceptrons (MLPs) for single-input-single-output (SISO) feedforward acoustic noise control is presented. In a simple time-discrete simulation, the performance of the trained NNs is investigated for different excitation levels. The effects of the properties of the training data and NN controller on generalized performance are explored.

Abstract

Over the past few decades, advances in digital technologies have allowed for the development of complex active control solutions for both vibration and acoustic control and have been utilised in a wide range of applications. Such control systems are commonly designed using linear filters which cannot fully capture the dynamics of nonlinear systems. To overcome such issues, it has previously been shown that replacing linear controllers with Neural Networks (NNs) can improve control performance in the presence of nonlinearities in both the system plant and primary path. However, the performance of the controller across excitation levels has not been frequently explored. Controllers with good performance across a range of excitation levels would be essential in the control of many real systems. In this paper, a method of training Multilayer Perceptrons (MLPs) for single-input-single-output (SISO) feedforward acoustic noise control is presented. In a simple time-discrete simulation, the performance of the trained NNs is investigated for different excitation levels. The effects of the properties of the training data and NN controller on generalized performance are explored.
