The traditional soft-sensing structure is open-loop without correction mechanism. If the working condition is changed or there is unknown disturbance, the forecast result of soft-sensing model may be incorrect. In order to obtain accurate values, it is necessary to carry out online correction. In this paper, a semiclosed-loop framework (SLF) is proposed to establish a soft-sensing approach, which estimates the input variables in the next moment by a prediction model and calibrates the output variables by a compensation model. The experimental results show that the proposed method has better prediction accuracy and robustness than other open-loop models.展开更多

One inherent difficulty is insufficiency of the training samples because the labeled data are limited. Besides, the traditional soft-sensing structure has no online correction mechanism. The forecasting result may be incorrect if the working condition is changed. In this work, a semi-supervised learning(SSL) method is proposed to build the soft-sensing model by use of the unlabeled data. Meanwhile, an online correction mechanism is proposed to establish a soft-sensing approach. The mechanism estimates the input variables at each step by a prediction model and calibrates the output variables by a compensation model. The experimental results show that the proposed method has better prediction accuracy and generalization ability than other approaches.展开更多

A hybrid intelligent control approach is developed which consists of two systems： one is a cascade fuzzy control system with a temperature soft-sensor, and the other is a ratio control system for air flow with a compensation model for heating gas flow and air-fuel ratio. This approach combined intelligent control, soft-sensing and fault diagnosis with conventional control. It can adjust both the heating gas flow and the air-fuel ratio in real time. By this way, the difficulty of online measurement of the furnace temperature is solved, the fault ratios during combustion process is decreased, the steady control of the furnace temperature is achieved, and the gas consumption is reduced. The successful application in shaft furnaces of a mineral processing plant in China indicates its effectiveness.展开更多
