Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 3A robust on-line learning algorithm for intelligent control systems(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2003) Efe, MÖ; Kaynak, O; Wilamowski, BM; Yu, XHThis paper describes a novel error extraction approach for exploiting the strength of Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) optimization technique in intelligent control systems: Since the target value of the control signal is unknown, tuning of the controller parameters becomes a tedious task if the knowledge about the system and the environment is limited. The suggested methodology utilizes the sliding model control (SMC) technique. The error extraction scheme postulates the form of error on the applied control signal using the discrepancy from the prescribed reaching dynamics. The devised approach has been tested on the non-linear Duffing oscillator, which has been forced to follow a periodic orbit radically different from the natural one. The results obtained through a series of simulations have confirmed the high precision and robustness advantages without knowing the analytical details of the system under investigation. The issues of observation noise and the stability in the parametric space have approximately been addressed from the point of SMC perspective.

It is establishing a new paradigm in relation to nuclear energy. The future reactors should meet the new standards in respect to safety, economy, non-proliferation, nuclear waste, and environmental impact. The fixed bed nuclear reactor (FBNR) is a small nuclear reactor that meets all the requirements. It is an inherently safe and passively cooled reactor that is fool proof against nuclear proliferation. It is simple in design and economic. It can serve in a dual purpose plant to produce simultaneously both electricity and desalinated water, thus making it especially suitable to the needs of the Middle-East Countries. FBNR is being developed with the support of the IAEA under its program of small reactors without on-site refueling. The reactor uses the pressurized water reactor technology. It fulfills the objectives of design simplicity, inherent and passive safety, economy, standardization, shop fabrication, easy transportability, and high availability. The inherent safety characteristic of the reactor dispenses with the need for containment; however, a simple underground containment is envisaged for the reactor in order to reduce any adverse visual impact.
