Genetic Algorithms vs. Knowledge-Based Control of PHB Production
Abstract
The paper proposes an approach using Genetic Algorithm (GA) for development of optimal time profiles of key control variable of Poly-HydroxyButyrate (PHB) production process. Previous work on modeling and simulation of PHB process showed that it is a highly nonlinear process that needs special controllers based on human experience, as such fuzzy logic controller proved to be a good choice. Fuzzy controllers are not totally replaced, due to the specific process knowledge that they contain. The achieved results are compared with previously proposed knowledge-based approach to the same optimal control task.
