Application of a predictive Q-learning algorithm on the multiple-effect evaporator in a sugarcane ethanol biorefinery

With the recent development of machine learning, reinforcement learning is an interesting alternative to PID controllers. In this context, a discrete predictive Q-learning approach is applied in the control of a sugarcane biorefinery multiple-effect evaporation system. The algorithm is built using S...
