A Novel Neural Network Based Modeling for Control of NOx Emission in Power Plant

Article Preview

Abstract:

A novel neural network based modeling for non-linear model identification technique is proposed. It combines a nonlinear steady state model with a linear one, to describe the disturbance and dynamics in the coal-fired power plant. The modeling and training algorithm is used to develop a model of nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted from the process where one-step ahead optimal prediction formula are developed. Two cases show that the resulting model provides a better prediction of NOx and fitting capabilities.
