An active noise control (ANC) system utilizing a genetic algorithm for reduction of noise in duct is described. A continuous genetic algorithm with a heuristic crossover method was applied in the controller of the system. The ANC system was tested on a laboratory stand. Measurements of the efficiency of the system related to basic parameters of the genetic algorithm were performed. A comparison of the effectiveness of ANC system based on the genetic algorithm to the system based on the LMS algorithm is presented.
Keywords: genetic algorithm, active noise control, active noise reduction, crossover, LMS algorithm
