Item type:Publication, Soft Sensor Design for Restricted Variable Sampling Time(Elsevier, 2020-01-01)Difficult-to-obtain variables in industrial applications have led to the rise of soft sensors, which use prior system information and measurements to estimate these difficult-to-obtain variables. In real systems, the measurements that need to be estimated by a soft sensor are often infrequently measured or delayed. Sometimes, these delays and sampling time are variable in time. Though there are papers considering soft sensors in the presence of time delays and different sampling times, the variation of those parameters has not been considered when evaluating the adequacy of the soft sensors. Therefore, this paper will evaluate the impact of such variations for a data-driven soft sensor and propose modifications of the soft sensor that increase its robustness. The reliability of its estimate will be shown using the Bauer-Premaratne-Durán Theorem. Furthermore, the soft sensor will be simulated applying it to a continuous stirred tank reactor. Simulation showed that the modified soft sensor gives good estimates, whereas the traditional soft sensor gives an unstable estimate. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Soft sensor design for variable time delay and variable sampling time(Elsevier, 2020-08-01)Often industrial variables can be difficult to measure due to such factors as extreme conditions or complex compositions. In such cases, soft sensors have been developed that use available system information and measurements to estimate these difficult-to-obtain variables. In practice, the measurements that are to be estimated by a soft sensor are often infrequently measured or delayed. Occasionally, these sampling times or delays are time varying. At present, most research has considered these parameters to be time invariant, and thus, there is a need to consider the time-varying case. Therefore, this paper will evaluate the impact of time-varying delays and sampling times for the design of a data-driven soft sensor. Modifications will be proposed that will increase the robustness and performance of the soft sensor. The reliability of the estimate will be shown using the Bauer–Premaratne–Durán Theorem. Furthermore, the proposed soft sensor system will be tested using simulations of a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and an reverse osmosis plant. Simulation showed that the modified soft sensor gives good estimates, whereas the traditional soft sensor gives an unstable estimate for the CSTR and reverse osmosis plant.
