Identification and control of water supply reservoirs by using neural networks

摘要

In this study, first by using the collected real data from a 10000 cubic - meter Qazvin - kowsar water supply reservoir is modeled by nonlinear output error (NOE) structure, then a neural nonlinear controller based on the MLP neural network according to created model is designed in order to control the tank water level. The operation of the proposed controller is compared by a PID controller which its coefficients is optimized by genetic algorithm. Results of the simulation indicates that the neural nonlinear controller has a better function than the PID controller, and also this controller is able to control the level water of the tank appropriately regardless the consumer profile in all conditions even in consumer picks.
