Abstract
Moisture content is one of the key controlled variables in grain drying processes. However, this variable cannot or is difficult to be controlled accurately, due to grain drying is a nonlinear process with multi-variables and long delay. To solve this problem, the study is focused on a new intelligent control system for continuous-flow dryer. Based on the manual control idea for controlling the outlet moisture content, a nonlinear process intelligent control algorithm is presented, a human-in-the-loop intelligent control model for grain drying is developed, a system of software structure based on Visual Basic 6.0 is designed.
