Predictive function control based on the LS-SVM for marine steam turbine system

Due to the complication of marine steam turbine system, and the nonlinearity, uncertainty and complexity of the steam turbine model, the conventional speed regulation system can no longer meet our requirement. A predictive function control based on LS-SVM is developed, which has good robustness to disturbance and parameters variation. The results of simulation indicate that the method has strong robustness to external disturbance and parameters variation.
