NEURAL-ADAPTIVE CONTROL BASED ON ADALINE NEURONS WITH APPLICATION TO A POWER SYSTEM

A neural-adaptive control solution is exposed in this paper. The control strategy is based on the linear adaptive neuron, which is called ADALINE. Unlike other neural control solutions, based on perceptrons neurons characterized by a long time learning process and a difficult on-line tuning of weights, this approach uses a fast algorithm, which adapts on-line the neuron's weights. Therefore the non-linear character of control law is induced by the permanent changes of neuron weights, which are variable parameters of controller. A set of study cases is done, with application to the excitation control of a synchronous generator.
