Abstract
Improving current efficiency and reducing energy consumption are two important technical goals of the electrolytic aluminum process (EAP). However, because the process involves complex noise characteristics (i.e., unknown types, redundant distributions and variable forms), it is very difficult to accurately develop a multiobjective prediction model. To overcome this problem, in this paper, a novel framework of multiobjective incremental learning based on a multi-source filter neural network (MSFNN) is presented. The proposed framework first presents a “multi-source filter” (MSF) technique that utilizes the mean and variance in the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) to guide the importance function of the particle filter (PF) based on a density kernel estimation method. Then, the MSF is embedded in the mutated neural network to adjust weights in real time. Third, weights are calculated and normalized by a modified importance function, which is the basis for further optimizing a secondary sampling based on sampling importance resampling (SIR). Finally, the incremental learning model with two objectives (i.e., process power consumption and current efficiency) based on the MSFNN in the EAP is established. The presented framework has been verified by the real-world EAP and some closely related methods. All test results indicate that the MSFNN’s relative prediction errors of the above two objectives are controlled within 0.51% and 0.38%, respectively and prove that MSFNN has significant competitive advantages over other recent filtering network models. Successfully establishment of the proposed framework provides a model foundation for multiobjective optimization problems in the EAP.
