Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and system for empirical ensemble-based virtual sensing and more particularly to a method and system for virtual gas sensors for measuring the emission, such as NOx, CO 2 etc. from combustion processes.
- NOx is a generic term for mono-nitrogen oxides (NO and N02) that are produced during combustion. NOx can be formed through high temperature oxidation of the diatomic nitrogen found in combustion air. In addition combustion of nitrogen-bearing fuels such as certain coals and oil, results in the conversion of fuel bound nitrogen to NOx.
- Atmospheric NOx eventually forms nitric acid, which contributes to acid rain.
- the Kyoto Protocol ratified by 54 nations in 1997, classifies N02 as a greenhouse gas, and calls for worldwide reductions in its emission, as does The Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution' s so called Gothenburg Protocol.
- NOx emissions are regulated in a number of countries and e.g. since 1992 there has been" a charge on NOx emissions from combustion plants in Sweden and in Norway since 2007 a general fee for all NOx emissions. Also France and Italy has fees, whereas e.g. USA has a system of NOx budget permits.
- the physical quantity of interest is not measured online. A typical case is when samples are periodically sent to a laboratory for analysis. These could be air, water, oil, or material samples that are analysed to control environmental emission, product quality, or process condition.
- the available physical sensor is too slow, in particular for use in automatic control.
- the physical sensor is too far downstream, e.g the end product is continuously monitored to detect production deviations, but where this information comes too late to perform corrective action.
- the physical sensor is inaccurate. Available physical sensors might be subject to either intrinsic inaccuracies or to degradation. Scaling in a Venturi flow-meter is a typical example.
- Virtual sensing techniques also known as soft or proxy sensing, are software-based techniques used to provide feasible and economical alternatives to costly or unpractical physical measurement devices and sensor systems.
- a virtual sensing system uses information available from other on-line measurements and process parameters to calculate an estimate of the quantity of interest.
- Analytical techniques base the calculation of the measurement estimate on approximations of the physical laws that govern the relationship of the quantity of interest with other available measurements and parameters.
- a significant advantage of using analytical techniques based on "first principles" models is that it allows for the calculation of physically immeasurable quantities when these can be derived from the involved physical model equations .
- Empirical techniques base the calculations of the measurement estimate on available historical measurement data of the same quantity, and on its correlation with other available measurements and parameters.
- the historical data of the un-measured quantity can be derived either from actual measurement campaigns with temporarily installed sensor systems, from records of laboratory analyses, or from detailed estimations with complex analytical models that are computationally too expensive to run on-line. The latter is the only possible option if one wants to develop an empirical virtual sensor to estimate immeasurable quantities, for which there is obviously no historical data available .
- Empirical virtual sensing is based on function approximation and regression techniques that can be implemented using a variety of statistical or machine learning modelling methods, such as:
- Empirical modelling also known as data-driven modelling, covers a set of techniques used to analyze the condition and predict the evolution of a process from operational data. It has the advantage of neither requiring a detailed physical understanding of the process nor knowledge of the material properties, geometry and other characteristics of the plant and its components, both of which are often lacking in real, practical cases.
- the underlying process model is identified by fitting the measured or simulated plant data to a generic linear or non-linear model through a procedure which is often referred to as ⁇ learning' .
- This learning process may be active or passive, and involves the identification and embedding of the relationships between the process variables into the model.
- An active learning process involves an iterative process of minimizing an error function through gradient-based parameter adjustments.
- a passive learning process does not require mathematical iterations and consists only of compiling representative data vectors into a training matrix.
- Empirical models are reliably accurate only when applied to the same, or similar, operating conditions under which the data used to develop the model were collected. When plant conditions or operations change significantly, the model is forced to extrapolate outside the learned space, and the results will be of low reliability. This observation is particularly true for non-linear empirical models since, unlike linear models which extrapolate in a known linear fashion, non-linear models extrapolate in an unknown manner.
- Artificial neural network and local polynomial regression models are both non-linear; whereas transformation-based techniques such as Principal
- a hidden layer is a legitimate layer exclusive of the output layer.
- a neural network structure consists of a number of hidden layers and an output layer.
- the computational capabilities of neural networks were proven by the general function approximation theorem which states that a neural network, with a single non-linear hidden layer, can approximate any- arbitrary non-linear function given a sufficient number of hidden nodes .
- the neural network training process begins with the initialization of its weights to small random numbers.
- the network is then presented with the training data which consists of a set of input vectors and corresponding desired outputs, often referred to as targets.
- the neural network training process is an iterative adjustment of the internal weights to bring the network' s outputs closer to the desired values, given a specified set of input vector / target pairs. Weights are adjusted to increase the likelihood that the network will compute the desired output.
- the training process attempts to minimize the mean squared error (MSE) between the network's output values and the desired output values. While minimization of the MSE function is by far the most common approach, other error functions are available.
- MSE mean squared error
- Neural networks are powerful tools that can be applied to pattern recognition problems for monitoring process data from industrial equipment. They are well suited for monitoring non-linear systems and for recognizing fault patterns in complex data sets. Due to the iterative training process the computational effort required to develop neural network models is greater than for other types of empirical models. Accordingly, the computational requirements lead to an upper limit on model size which is typically more limiting than that for other empirical model types.
- Ensemble modelling (see T. G. Dietterich (Ed.), 2000. Ensemble Methods in Machine Learning, Lecture Notes in Computer Science; Vol. 1857. Springer-Verlag, London, UK) also known as committee modelling, is a technique by which, instead of building a single predictive model, a set of component models is developed and their independent predictions combined to produce a single aggregated prediction.
- the resulting compound model (referred to as an ensemble) is generally more accurate than a single component models, tends to be more robust to overfitting phenomena, has a much reduced variance, and avoids the instability problems sometimes associated with sub-optimal model training procedures.
- each model is generally trained separately, and the predicted output of each component model is then combined to produce the output of the ensemble.
- combining the output of several models is useful only if there is some form of "disagreement" between their predictions (see M. P. Perrone and L. N. Cooper, 1992. When networks disagree: ensemble methods for hybrid neural networks, National Science Fundation, USA) Obviously, the combination of identical models would produce no performance gain.
- One method commonly adopted is the so- called bagging method (see L. Breiman, 1996. Bagging Predictors, Machine Learning, 24(2), pp. 123-140), which tries to generate disagreement among the models by altering the training set each model sees during training.
- Bagging is an ensemble method that creates individuals for its ensemble by training each model on a random sampling of the training set, and, in forming the final prediction, gives equal weight to each of the component models.
- the use of ensembles to reduce the overall model variance has a close relationship with regularization methods (see A.V. Gribok, J. W. Hines, A. Urmanov, and R. E. Uhrig. 2002. Heuristic, Systematic, and Informational Regularization for Process Monitoring. International Journal of Intelligent Systems, 17(8), pp 723-750, Wiley), which constrain the training of neural network models and their architecture to avoid ill-conditioned problems and achieve a similar control over excessive model variance.
- Virtual sensing is an attractive solution for measuring NOx and other gases, but there is a need for a system for virtual sensing that is simpler to implement, more accurate, more robust and more stable than the above referenced systems.
- the present invention solves the problems of accuracy/ robustness, stability and simplicity of a virtual sensor suitable for gas sensing by a combination of empirical modelling with ensemble modelling.
- the present invention is an ensemble based virtual sensor system for the estimation of an amount of a gas resulting from a combustion process comprising;
- each of the empirical models are arranged for being trained using empirical data from the process, and further arranged for receiving one or more signal input values from one or more sensors of the process, and for calculating a signal output value based on the signal input values where the signal output value represents the amount of gas, - a combination function arranged for receiving the signal output values and continuously calculating a virtual sensor output value as a function of the signal output values, wherein the virtual sensor output value represents the amount of gas.
- the present invention is a method for the estimation of an amount of a gas resulting from a combustion process from one or more signal input values from one or more sensors comprising the following steps;
- the combination function (f) is arranged for continuously calculating the virtual sensor output value (y R ) as an average value of the signal output values (yi, y ⁇ , ...,Ym) •
- the average value can be calculated as a geometrical or arithmetical mean value of the signal output values (yi, yz, ... , y m ) or a median value.
- all the empirical models or inner nodes may have identical structure. This setup has the advantage that the required number of inner nodes can simply be instantiated in the virtual sensor system based on a template node. Further, the nodes may all be arranged for receiving the same set of signal input values from the sensors of the combustion process. Signals from the sensors are distributed to all the nodes, and the extra work of handling special cases is avoided.
- the accuracy of the virtual sensor system according to the invention may be increased by instantiating a larger number of empirical models.
- This way of achieving a better result simply by increasing the size of the ensemble is different from other methods that e.g. emphasise the selection of the ensemble.

- Fig. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of a virtual sensor system used to measure the amount of a gas (G) resulting from a combustion process (CP) according to the present invention.
- the ensemble based virtual sensor system (VS) for the estimation of an amount of a gas (G) resulting from a combustion process (CP) comprises two or more empirical models (NNi, NN 2 , ...,NN n ) where each of the empirical models (NNi, NN 2 ,..., NN n ) are arranged for estimating the amount of gas (G) , and a combination function (f) is arranged for combining the results from the empirical models (NNi, NN 2 , ...,NN n ) to provide an estimation of the amount of gas (G) that is more accurate than the signal output value (yi, y2,...,y m ) from each of the individual empirical models (NNi, NN 2 ,..., NN n )
- the amount of gas (G) can be given as the
- each of the empirical models are arranged for being trained using empirical data (ED) from the combustion process (CP) .
- the empirical data are historical measurement data from the combustion process (CP) where the virtual sensor system (VS) is arranged.
- the empirical data (ED) of the unmeasured quantity can be derived either from actual measurement campaigns with temporarily installed sensor systems (S A and S B ) with sensor values (IA and I B ) as well as in combination with fixed sensors (Si, S 2 , ...,S m ) as shown in Fig. 1, from records of laboratory analyses, or from detailed estimations with complex analytical models that are computationally too expensive to run on-line.
- training data can also be from other similar processes as can be understood by a person skilled in the art.
- the training data may be the same for all empirical models (NNi, NN 2 , ... / NN n ) , or different, where e.g. not all process measurements are included for the training data of each of the empirical models (NNi, NN 2 , ... ,NN n ) .
- This is one way of providing diversity amongst the empirical models (NNi, NN 2 , • ..,NN n ) .
- They may also be initialized differently by setting different initialization parameters as can be understood by a person skilled in the art.
- Each empirical model is further arranged for receiving one or more signal input values (Ii, I 2 , ..., I m ) from one or more sensors (Si, S 2 , ...,S m ) of the process (CP), and for calculating a signal output value (yi, y2, ...,y m ) based on the signal input values Ui, I 2 ,..., I m ) where the signal output value (yi, y2, ...,y m ) from each of the empirical models (NNi, NN 2 , ...,NN n ) represents said amount of gas (G) .
- the virtual sensor system (VS) comprises a combination function (f) arranged for receiving the signal output values (yi, y 2 , ...
- the invention is a method for the estimation of an amount of a gas (G) resulting from a combustion process (CP) from one or more signal input values (Ii, I 2 , ... , I m ) from one or more sensors (S x , S 2 , ... , S m ) .
- the method comprises the following steps; - training an ensemble of empirical models (NNi, NN 2 , ...,NN n ) with empirical data from the process (CP), - feeding the trained empirical models (NNi, NN 2 , ...,NN n ) with one or more signal input values (Ii, I 2 , ... ,I m ) from one or more sensors (Si, S 2 , ... / S 1n ) of the process (CP),
- all the empirical models (NNi, NN 2 , ... ,NN n ) or inner nodes may have identical structure.
- This setup has the advantage that the required number of inner nodes can simply be instantiated in the virtual sensor system based on a template node.
- the format of corresponding inputs and outputs of the empirical models may be identical, i.e. the format of input 1 on empirical model NNi is the same as the format of input 1 on empirical model NN 2 to NN n etc.
- the nodes may all be arranged for receiving the same set of signal input values (Ii, I 2 ,..., Im) from the sensors (Si, S 2 ,..., S m ) of the combustion process. Signals from the sensors are distributed to all the nodes, and the extra work of handling special cases is avoided.
- Empirical modelling has been described previously in this document and can be implemented using different techniques.
- the empirical models are neural networks.
- the combination function (f) of the virtual sensor system may be arranged to calculate the output value (y R ) based on different criteria's.
- the combination function (f) is arranged for continuously calculating the virtual sensor output value (y R ) as an average value of the signal output values (V 1 , Y2r • • • fYm) •
- the average value can be calculated as a geometrical or arithmetical mean value of the signal output values (V 1 , y 2 , ...
- a median value or a combination of mean and median such as the average of the two middle values. It can be shown that the performance of a virtual sensor system according to the invention with median value calculation in most cases is better than the mean value calculation due to the fact that the output is generally not affected by individual noise or irregularities when the median value calculation is used.
- This approach counteracts the intrinsic variance that one can expect in the performance of empirical regression models such as neural networks.
- the origin of this variance can stem from various degrees of overfitting of the training data (i.e. resulting in modelling the noise in the data) , from the typically random initialization of the neural network parameters before training, and from the non-deterministic gradient descent techniques used for fitting the neural network model to the data.
- Fig. 2 illustrates the kind of variance that can result from a combination of these factors
- a set of neural network virtual sensor models were developed to estimate residual oil concentrations in water discharged from an offshore oil platform.
- the figure shows the individual outputs of 50 models, the actual expected value being estimated, and the ensemble combination of the 50 individual estimates .
- the combination function (f) is arranged for receiving one or more of said signal input values (I 1 , 12 / ' --/ 1 In) directly from the process sensors (S 1 , S 2 , ..., S m ) in addition to the signal output values (V 1 , y 2 , ...,y m ) from the empirical models (NN 1 , NN 2 , ...,NN n ) and calculating a virtual sensor output value (y R ) .
- the signal output values (V 1 , y 2 ,...,y m ) are individually, dynamically weighted based on the one or more signal input values (I 1 , ⁇ 2 r - - - / ⁇ m) • Dynamic weighting may reduce the impact on the virtual sensor output value from noise and disturbances related to one or more of the sensors or transmission lines from the sensors.
- the combination function (f) is an empirical model (NN R ) arranged for receiving the signal input values (I 1 , I 2 ,..., Im) and calculating a virtual sensor output value (y R ) based on the signal output values (yi, y 2 , • . • , y m ) , the signal input values (I 1 , I 2 , ..., I m ) and the structure of the empirical model (NN R ) .
- Fig. 3 shows how the performance or accuracy of an embodiment of a virtual sensor system (VS) according to the invention increases with the number of nodes.
- the performance requirement for a virtual sensor system in a given application may vary, and an unnecessary large number of nodes may slow down the initialization process of the virtual sensor system (VS) .
- the virtual sensor system (VS) is arranged for being able to instantiate a number of said empirical models (NN 1 , NN 2 ,..., NN n ) to accommodate specific performance criteria's.
- the virtual sensor system is arranged for dynamically allocating the required number of said empirical models (NNi, NN 2 , ...,NN n ) to achieve the predefined performance requirement of the virtual sensor output value (y R ) representing the amount of gas (G) .
- Performance requirements may be given in e.g. ppm (parts per million) .
- virtual sensor systems may be concatenated as can be seen from Fig. 10.
- O 2 from a combustion process is estimated in an embodiment of a virtual sensor system according to the invention.
- the 0 ⁇ concentration is estimated based on Combustion Chamber Configuration, 8th Stage Extraction Flow, Bleed Valve Air Flow, Fuel Flow and Axial Compressor Air Flow.
- the estimated O2 concentration is used as an input to the NOx Virtual sensor system together with these additional process measurement values; Flame Temperature, Barometric Pressure, Ambient Humidity and Ambient Temperature.
- Concatenation of virtual sensor systems may improve the performance of the system as well as simplify the structure of the empirical models, and the training of the system.
- PEMS Parametric Emission Monitoring System
- CEMS Continuous Emission Monitoring System
- a CEMS is the total equipment necessary for the determination of gas or particulate matter concentration or emission rate, using physical pollutant analyser measurements.
- a PEMS calculates the NOX emissions from key operational parameters, such as combustion temperatures, pressures, and fuel consumptions, and can therefore be considered in all respects a virtual sensor.
- a GE LM2500 DLE gas turbine operating on an offshore oil platform in the Norwegian continental shelf, was mapped to identify optimal parameter settings to minimise emissions.
- physical emission monitoring equipment is installed and the turbine is driven at a range of loads where optimal parameter settings are identified.
- the outcome can be thought of as a table that maps turbine loads to parameter settings.
- the acquired data is shown in Fig. 4 and consist in the values of %C02, %02, ppm CO, ppm THC, ppm NOX, and ppm NOX corrected for 15% 02, sampled at 1 second interval.
- the data used for the PEMS modelling were the approximately 5 hours of data between the two highlighted calibrations of the measurement equipment.
- process data from the selected turbine was available from two different turbine control systems (ABB and Woodward) .
- ABB and Woodward This data was only partly mirrored to an onshore historian data system, i.e. not all the measurements associated with the turbines were available onshore.
- the emission data was acquired on a portable computer system, with a different clock and therefore with time- stamps that did not correspond to the timestamps of the control systems and of the onshore data historian.
- the two data series were synchronised manually by visually matching significant changes that showed consistency in both the process and emission time series, as indicated in Fig. 4, showing calibration points. This procedure was possible in this case because the turbine mapping activity created clear patterns in the data. In other cases this manual synchronisation might be very difficult to perform and a correct synchronisation of the clocks of all data logging equipment used is therefore needed.
- the chosen inputs were the following:
- a PEMS was developed using the present invention, where a number of models are individually constructed and then combined in an aggregated ensemble model.
- the ensemble PEMS model was a combination of 20 individual PEMS models.
- the original dataset of 5 hours of process and emissions data was split into a training set, a validation set, and a test set, where the training set was used to build the models, the validation set to control the modelling (i.e. to avoid overfitting the models to the training data) , and the test set to evaluate model performance.
- the average error of the PEMS with 8 inputs is about 30% higher than the average error of the PEMS with all 10 inputs.
- the error of the 8- inputs PEMS is still low when compared to the current accuracy requirements for low- NOx turbines (such as the GE LM2500 DLE) of less than 3 ppm.
- a plurality of models are generated and a mechanism is used for selecting particular models to be part of the ensemble. This is done either statically i.e. only once after the training phase, discarding unwanted models at the outset, or dynamically, i.e. introducing a weighing scheme that, given the current operational state, favours component models that have a demonstrated a better performance in or near that operational state.
- hybrid ensemble models are used, i.e. ensembles where the component models are not necessarily of the same type but consist for example of neural networks as well as other regression models or a combination of empirical and analytical models.
