| Summary: | A robust tuning method based on an artificial neural network for model predictive control (MPC) of industrial systems with parametric uncertainties is put forward in this work. Firstly, an efficient approach to characterize the mapping relationship between the controller parameters and the robust performance indices is established. As there are normally multiple conflicted robust performance indices to be considered in MPC tuning, the neural network is further used to fuse the indices to produce a simple label representing the acceptable level of the robust performance. Finally, an automated algorithm is proposed to tune the MPC parameters for the considered uncertain system to achieve the desired robust performance. In addition, the regulation of the pH value of the sewage treatment system is used to verify the effectiveness of the robust tuning algorithm which is described in this paper.
