The performance of the model algorithm control method is partial y based on the accuracy of the system’s model. It is diffi-cult to obtain a good model of a nonlinear system, especial y when the nonlinearity is high. Neural networks have the ability to“learn”the characteristics of a system through nonlinear mapping to rep-resent nonlinear functions as wel as their inverse functions. This paper presents a model algorithm control method using neural net-works for nonlinear time delay systems. Two neural networks are used in the control scheme. One neural network is trained as the model of the nonlinear time delay system, and the other one pro-duces the control inputs. The neural networks are combined with the model algorithm control method to control the nonlinear time delay systems. Three examples are used to il ustrate the proposed control method. The simulation results show that the proposed control method has a good control performance for nonlinear time delay systems.
