Neural Temperature Control in a Water Cylinder

Abstract

In this paper is presented a solution for controlling the temperature in a water cylinder, used for supplying a building with domestic hot water. Automatic temperature adjustment is achieved by using a neural controller in order to provide superior control performances provided by classical controllers. Also, the used control strategy is based on the use of reference model of the expressed process. Simulation control structure is done both in the absence, as well as in case of interference signals.
