Attention LSTM network identification method based on factory data

The control system of chemical enterprises is becoming more and more complex, and identifying the controlled object model is the primary task of automatic control and optimization design. In view of the problem that most chemical process identification experiments need to apply test signals to the process, which may lead to production interruption or safety accidents, a long short-term memory(LSTM) nonlinear dynamic model identification algorithm combined with attention mechanism is proposed to adapt to plant time series data with characteristics of high dimension, strong coupling and nonlinearity. Based on LSTM model, the algorithm considers the importance of the input variables to the target variables, pays more attention to the key features that affect the output results in the input sequence, and improves the generalization ability of the LSTM model. The LSTM network model based on the daily operation data of the plant can be used as the digital virtual device of the identified object, and the local linear model can be identified offline on the virtual device by using the designed test data. The identification experiments on Tennessee-Eastman (TE) process verify the effectiveness of this method. © 2020, Editorial Board of CIESC Journal. All right reserved.
