“…The utilization of a hybrid semiparametric model for controller tuning bears some advantages, because (i) the hybrid semi-parametric model might be identified from standard operational data, but the controllers can be tuned considering set-point changes and load disturbances, both scenarios in which the model might have to extrapolate (von Stosch et al, 2012); and (ii) the coupling of different control inputs and/or variables can be captured with little effort by the hybrid semi-parametric model and subsequently considered during the tuning (multivariate control) (von Stosch et al, 2012). Controllers which are tuned in such a way comprise, for instance, neural net-work controllers (Patnaik, 2003(Patnaik, , 2004(Patnaik, , 2008(Patnaik, , 2010Schubert et al, 1994a;von Stosch et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2006), the ANN models in a MPC schema (Georgieva & de Azevedo, 2009;Georgieva & Feyo de Azevedo, 2007) or hybrid controllers (Andrasik et al, 2004;Ng & Hussain, 2004;von Stosch et al, 2012;Wei et al, 2007), where the term hybrid semi-parametric controllers is an analogy to hybrid semi-parametric models. Frequently applied standard approaches which incorporate hybrid semi-parametric models comprise Internal Model Control (IMC) (Chen et al, 2004;Schubert et al, 1994a;Wei et al, 2007;Zhang et al, 2006) and Inverse Model Control (IVMC) (Ng & Hussain, 2004;Wei et al, 2007), see supplementary material - Table 9.…”
