On the model identification of an incubator based on genetic algorithms

摘要

The aim of this paper is the modeling of the heating problem inside an incubator for newborns. The considered incubator has been offered by the neonatology center of the Universitary Hospital of Sfax; Tunisia. Two models has been identified. The first one is continuous and the second one is discrete. Parameters of these models have been optimised by genetic algorithms. Because of the non linearity of the model, two phases have been considered: the heating phase for an increasing of the temperature and the cooling phase for a decreasing of the temperature. Obtained models have been validated experimentally.
