Application of CMAC Neural Network a PID Control on the Speed Control System of Diesel Engine

A new intelligent PID control method based on CMAC neural network (CMAC-NN) is put forward in the paper, then its architecture and arithmetic are introduced specially. Compared with traditional PID control, CMAC-PID control has many more merits. The method is applied to the control system of marine diesel speed. It uses the self-study ability of CMAC-NN and regulates the controller parameters online. The simulation results that indicate the CMAC-PID controller has a higher precision and a stronger compatibility, which can obtain satisfying control effect.
