Optimization of the control system of BP-PID rice polishing unit based on WAO algorithm by HUANG Jinliang, ZHOU Jin, YU Wei

“…Finally, the parameters of the PID controller of the traditional unit were trained by the BP neural network, and the whale algorithm (WOA) was introduced to optimize the BP neural network to achieve fast and accurate control of the rice polishing unit.ResultsCompared with the traditional PID control unit, the overall fragmentation rate of the BP-PID controlled unit optimized by the WAO algorithm was reduced by about 2%, the control time was reduced by about 30%, and the temperature rise decreased by about 2 ℃ at room temperature.ConclusionThe control system can effectively complete the adjustment of the processing parameters of the unit and has a good control effect.…”
