The paper deals with the recursive identification of dynamic systems having noninvertible output characteristics, which can be represented by the Wiener model. A special form of the model is considered where the linear dynamic block is given by its transfer function and the nonlinear static block is characterized by such a description of the piecewise-linear characteristic, which is appropriate for noninvertible nonlinearities. The proposed algorithm is a direct application of the known recursive least squares method extended with the estimation of internal variables and enables the on-line estimation of both the linear block parameters and the parameters of some noninvertible nonlinearities and their changes. The feasibility of the proposed method is illustrated on examples of time-varying systems.

Self-tuning control with recursive identification of extremal dynamic systems is considered. The systems can be represented by combinations of linear dynamic and extremal static parts, their output being disturbed by a coloured noise. Minimum-variance controllers for Hammerstein, Wiener, and Wiener-Hammerstein-type systems are designed taking into consideration restrictions for control signal magnitude and/or change rate. The estimates of unknown parameters in the controller equations are obtained in the identification process in the closed loop. The efficiency of self-tuning control algorithms is illustrated by statistical simulation. On the basis of worked out methods, adaptive systems for optimization of fuel combustion and steam condensation processes in thermal power units are developed.
