Abstract

Rotary drying process modeling is a complex procedure due to the difficulties in measurement and estimation of kinetic model parameters. To solve the problem, a hybrid modeling method with online compensation is proposed in the present study. A mathematical model is built to describe the axial characteristics of rotary drying process. The drying rate which is the key parameter in the model is estimated by using a SVR-based fuzzy modeling approach, which can automatically extract fuzzy IF-THEN rules from support vectors. Laboratory experiments are conducted to obtain the drying rate sample data for the modeling purpose. In order to reduce the modeling errors for an industrial rotary dryer and improve the hybrid model prediction accuracy, an online matching coefficient is introduced, and a method based on improved online SVR is then applied for modeling error compensation. The experiment dada based modeling results have verified the effectiveness and demonstrated the accuracy and adaptability of the proposed hybrid modeling method.
