Adaptive Identification and Application of Flow Mapping and Inverse Flow Mapping for Electrohydraulic Valves

Good estimation of flow mapping (FM) and inverse flow mapping (IFM) for electrohydraulic valves are important in automation of fluid power system. The purpose of this paper is to propose adaptive identification methods based on LSM, BPNN, RBFNN, GRNN, LSSVM and RLSM to estimate the uncertain structure and parameters in flow mapping and inverse flow mapping for electrohydraulic valves. In order to reduce the complexity and improve the identification performance, model structures derived from new algorithm are introduced. The above identification methods are applied to map the flow characteristic of an electrohydraulic valve. With the help of novel simulation architecture via OPC UA, the accuracy and efficiency of these algorithms could be verified. Some issues like invertibility of flow mapping are discussed. At last, places and suggestions to apply these methods are made.
