This paper presents the Generalized Predictive Control (GPC) strategy based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) plant model. To obtain the step and the free responses which are needed in the GPC strategy we iteratively use a multilayer feedforward ANN as a one-step-ahead predictor. A bioprocess was chosen as a realistic nonlinear SISO system to demonstrate the feasibility and the performance of this control scheme. A comparison was made between our approach and the Adaptive GPC (AGPC).
