Popis:	Temperature control is a complex task due to its often unknown dynamics and disturbances. This paper explores the use of Neural Nonlinear AutoRegressive eXogenous (NNARX) models for nonlinear system identification and model predictive control of a temperature control unit. First, the NNARX model is identified from input-output data collected from the real plant, and a state-space representation with known measurable states consisting of past input and output variables is formulated. Second, a tailored model predictive controller is designed based on the trained NNARX network. The proposed control architecture is experimentally tested on the temperature control units manufactured by Tool-Temp AG. The results achieved are compared with those obtained using a PI controller and a linear MPC. The findings illustrate that the proposed scheme achieves satisfactory tracking performance while incurring the lowest energy cost among the compared controllers.
