A neuron model-free controller with immune tuning gain for hydroelectric generating units

A neuron model-free control method with immune scheme tuning gain for hydroelectric generating units is presented in this paper. Under the operating conditions of various guide vane opening, the characteristics of a hydroelectric generating unit show much difference in parameters. The influences of the time-varying parameters and the disturbances on the control system can be reduced by using the neuron model-free control method with immune scheme turning gain. With an example, the simulation results show that the neuron model-free controller has good control performance, fast transient response and strong robustness.
