| Summary: | The clinker sintering system is widely controlled manually in the factory, and there is a large divergence between a linearized control model and the nonlinear rotary kiln system, so the controlled variables cannot be calculated accurately. To accommodate the multivariable and nonlinear features of cement clinker sintering systems, steady-state model and dynamic models are established using extreme learning machine and autoregressive exogenous models. The steady-state model is used to describe steady-state nonlinear relations, and the dynamic model is used to describe the dynamic characteristics of the sintering system. By obtaining the system gains based on the steady-state model, the parameters of the dynamic model are rectified online to conform to the system gain. Thus, a dynamic model named extreme learning machine-autoregressive exogenous is proposed, which can describe the nonlinear dynamic features of a sintering system. The results show that, compared with the autoregressive exogenous model, the extreme learning machine-autoregressive exogenous model has good control performance on the multivariable and nonlinear system and can reduce computing resource requirements during the online running. In addition, fluctuations of NO x and O 2 concentrations decreases, again demonstrating good control performance of an actual clinker sintering system using the extreme learning machine-autoregressive exogenous model.
