    Just-in-Time Kernel Learning with Adaptive Parameter Selection for Soft Sensor Modeling of Batch Processes

    No full text
    An efficient nonlinear just-in-time learning (JITL) soft sensor method for online modeling of batch processes with uneven operating durations is proposed. A recursive least-squares support vector regression (RLSSVR) approach is combined with the JITL manner to model the nonlinearity of batch processes. The similarity between the query sample and the most relevant samples, including the weight of similarity and the size of the relevant set, can be chosen using a presented cumulative similarity factor. Then, the kernel parameters of the developed JITL-RLSSVR model structure can be determined adaptively using an efficient cross-validation strategy with low computational load. The soft sensor implement algorithm for batch processes is also developed. Both the batch-to-batch similarity and variation characteristics are taken into consideration to make the modeling procedure more practical. The superiority of the proposed soft sensor approach is demonstrated by predicting the concentrations of the active biomass and recombinant protein in the streptokinase fed-batch fermentation process, compared with other existing JITL-based and global soft sensors

    Fuzzy Phase Partition and Hybrid Modeling Based Quality Prediction and Process Monitoring Methods for Multiphase Batch Processes

    A novel fuzzy phase partition method and a hybrid modeling strategy are proposed for quality prediction and process monitoring in batch processes with multiple operation phases. The fuzzy phase partition method is proposed on the basis of a sequence-constrained fuzzy c-means (SCFCM) clustering algorithm. It divides the batch process into several fuzzy operation phases by performing the SCFCM algorithm on trajectory data of phase-sensitive process variables. This SCFCM-based partition method not only has high computation efficiency and good partition accuracy but also is easy to implement and popularize. In addition, it generates “soft” partition results, where a “transition” phase exists between two adjacent “steady” operation phases. A hybrid modeling strategy is developed to build appropriate models for all operation phases according to their own characteristics. Phase-based multiway PLS models are built for regular steady phases that have longer durations and stable process behaviors. Just-in-time PLS models are built for those phases with shorter durations but time-varying or nonlinear process behaviors, including all transition phases and several irregular steady phases. This hybrid modeling strategy significantly enhances the modeling accuracy, resulting in better quality prediction and process monitoring performance. Advantages of proposed methods are illustrated by case studies in a fed-batch penicillin fermentation process
