BP Neural Network PID Parameter Tuning

In this article, we explore how to use BP (Backpropagation) neural networks to achieve automatic tuning of PID parameters. PID controllers are among the most widely used controllers in industrial automation. While PID controllers can provide precise control, manual parameter adjustment remains a tedious task. To address this challenge, we can implement BP neural networks to automatically tune PID parameters and enhance system control performance. BP neural network is a commonly used artificial neural network that features learning and adaptive capabilities, making it particularly suitable for control applications. By feeding feedback signals and desired outputs into the BP neural network, we can train the network to automatically adjust PID parameters using gradient descent optimization. The implementation typically involves creating a neural network structure with input layers for system error and derivative signals, hidden layers for pattern recognition, and output layers generating optimal Kp, Ki, and Kd values. This approach not only improves system control performance but also significantly reduces the time and effort required for manual PID parameter tuning. The algorithm continuously adapts to system changes through online learning, maintaining optimal control under varying operating conditions.
