Energy conservation, environmental protection, and intelligence are topics of interest in intelligent buildings. However, the energy requirement of various electrical equipment in intelligent buildings increases energy consumption. This study presents a neural network-based prediction and control system for the regulation of building environmental parameters. Neural network-based soft sensing technology can detect building environmental parameters through few sensors. The proposed system control algorithm can realize the adaptive adjustment of environmental parameters by using a neural network proportional–integral–derivative controller. Zigbee wireless communication is adopted as the information transmission medium to realize the environmental parameter measurement and network control. The soft sensing technique combined with Zigbee communication technology can effectively reduce energy consumption. The central control system analyzes the data coming from the network and regulates the environmental parameter through lifting temperature, ventilation, and switching curtains by using the neural network proportional–integral–derivative algorithm. The regulation of environmental parameters reduces unnecessary energy consumption. Finally, the effectiveness of the system is verified through simulations. Practical applications: This work reports an energy saving scheme. The building communication system constructed by ZigBee can reduce energy consumption and can be easily expanded. The soft sensing technique based on artificial neural network can predict temperatures by using few sensors. The neural network proportional–integral–derivative control algorithm has good performance in the regulation of environmental parameters for a time-varying system. Building energy consumption can be reduced by conducting these measures.

A new polynomial fitting model based on a neural network is presented to characterize the hysteresis in piezoelectric actuators. As hysteresis is multi-valued mapping, and traditional neural networks can only solve one-to-one mapping, a hysteresis mathematical model is proposed to expand the input of the neural network by converting the multi-valued into one-to-one mapping. Experiments were performed under designed excitation with different driven voltage amplitudes to obtain the parameters of the model using the polynomial fitting method. The simulation results were in good accordance with the measured data and demonstrate the precision with which the model can predict the hysteresis. Based on the proposed model, a single-neuron adaptive proportional–integral–derivative controller combined with a feedforward loop is designed to correct the errors induced by the hysteresis in the piezoelectric actuator. The results demonstrate superior tracking performance, which validates the practicability and effectiveness of the presented approach.

Prediction and control of airport energy consumption plays an important role in promoting energy saving and emission reduction in the civil aviation industry. In view of the complexity and nonlinearity of energy consumption system, as well as a small number of airport energy consumption data, this study develops a hybrid grey neural network model, which organically combines GM (1, 1) model and BP neural network in parallel and series connections, on the basis of analysis of main prediction methods. With energy consumption data from one Chinese airport for the whole year 2010, this study analyzes and compares different prediction results using different models through matlab. It shows that the hybrid model has a better accurate prediction, and its prediction accuracy can be controlled within 7%.

As modern data centers continue to grow in power, size, and numbers, there is an urgent need to reduce energy consumption by optimized cooling strategies. In this paper, we present a neural network-based prediction of air flow in a data center that is cooled through perforated floor tiles. With a significantly smaller execution time than computational fluid dynamics, it predicts in real-time server inlet temperatures and can detect whether prevalent air flow cools the servers sufficiently to guarantee safe operation. Combined with a cooling system model, we obtain a temperature and air flow control algorithm that is fast and accurate enough to find an optimal operating point of the data center cooling system in real-time. We also demonstrate the performance of our algorithm on a reference data center and show that energy consumption can be reduced by up to 30%.

Vernier-gimballing magnetically suspended flywheel is often used for attitude control and interference suppression of spacecrafts. Due to the special structure of the conical magnetic bearing, the radial component generated by the axial magnetic force and the change of the magnetic air gap will cause the nonlinearity of stiffness and disturbance. That will lead to not only poor stability of the suspension control system but also unsatisfactory tracking accuracy of the rotor position. To solve the nonlinear problem of the system, this article proposes a proportional–integral–derivative neural network control scheme. First, the rotor model considering the nonlinear variation of disturbance and stiffness parameters is established. Then, the weight of neural network is adjusted by the gradient descent method online to ensure the accurate output of magnetic force. Finally, the convergence analysis is carried out based on the Lyapunov stability theory. Compared with the general proportional–integral–derivative control and the radial basis function neural network control, the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method has the highest tracking accuracy and excellent performance in improving stability. The experimental results prove the correctness of the theoretical analysis and the validity of the proposed method.

Nonlinear system identification (NSI) is of great significance to modern scientific engineering and control engineering. Despite their identification ability, the existing analysis methods for nonlinear systems have several limitations. The neural network (NN) can overcome some of these limitations in NSI, but fail to achieve desirable accuracy or training speed. This paper puts forward an NSI method based on adaptive NN, with the aim to further improve the convergence speed and accuracy of NN-based NSI. Specifically, a generic model-based nonlinear system identifier was constructed, which integrates the error feedback and correction of predictive control with the generic model theory. Next, the radial basis function (RBF) NN was optimized by adaptive particle swarm optimization (PSO), and used to build an NSI model. The effectiveness and speed of our model were verified through experiments. The research results provide a reference for applying the adaptive PSO-optimized RBFNN in other fields.

This project attempts to implement an Arduino robot to simulate a brainwave-controlled wheelchair for paralyzed patients with an improved controlling method. The robot should be able to move freely in anywhere under the control of the user and it is not required to predefine any map or path. An accurate and natural controlling method is provided, and the user can stop the robot any time immediately to avoid risks or danger. This project is using a low-cost and a brainwave-reading headset which has only a single lead electrode (Neurosky mind wave headset) to collect the EEG signal. BCI will be developed by sending the EEG signal to the Arduino Mega and control the movement of the robot. This project used the eye blinking as the robot controlling method as the eye blinking will cause a significant pulse in the EEG signal. By using the neural network to classify the blinking signal and the noise, the user can send the command to control the robot by blinking twice in a short period of time. The robot will be evaluated by driving in different places to test whether it can follow the expected path, avoid the obstacles, and stop in a specific position.

The prediction and control of the hot strips width is one of the key factors to reducing metal loss in hot roughing. Bayesian approach can control the parameters of neural network by calculating some super-parameters. This paper proposes a prediction model of the hot-rolled steel strips width based on Bayesian Neural Network, through application on the data of a 1500mm steel rolling production line in China, the MAE (Mean Absolute Error) between the predicted width value and real width value less than 10mm, this result shows that the precision of prediction is superior to some traditional mathematical model such as BP-neural networks. In this paper, we conclude that Bayesian neural network can improve the forecast precision of the hot strips width.
