Flow and Level Control of Coupled Four Tanks System Using Artificial Neural Network

摘要

This paper presents a nonlinear artificial neural network (ANN) control design for the nonlinear coupled four tanks system. The objective is to control the level of the four tanks at desired values and to isolate the uncertainties of the nonlinear tank system. A leakage factor is also considered in the system model. The robustness of the proposed control against the disturbances is considered. The ANN is highly nonlinear, has more flexibility and robust to tackle the undesired disturbances of the coupled four tank system. The simulation results show that the ANN has good stability performance.
