Identificação de um sistema multitanques utilizando redes de funções de base radial

Abstract

The identification of nonlinear dynamical systems is of great importance in many areas of engineering. In this dissertation presents a system identification technique using Artificial Neural Networks Radial Basis Function type - RBF applied to a very common system in the chemical and petrochemical industry, multi tanks system (coupled tanks), which features a dynamic nature not linear. In such a system, the nonlinear behavior of this can make it difficult to identify and present a model that does not reflect their actual behavior. This factor is a source of motivation we use a mathematical tool such as RBF in the identification of nonlinear aspects of the system. This network has potential as ability to handle complex systems, learning and generalization. Identification systems using RBF can be treated as a curve fitting problem by combining the basic functions.
