ABSTRACT

Soft-sensors are usually used for difficult-to-measure variables prediction in wastewater treatment. Nowadays, neural networks, especially the dynamic neural networks, are widely used to predict and monitor these variables. However, traditional training methods of dynamic neural network cannot fully consider the uncertainties of measurements and model, resulting in inaccurate estimations of parameters and deviation of prediction performance. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel adaptive multi-output soft-sensor. In the proposed method, the square root unscented Kalman filter (SR-UKF) is adopted to timely update the weights of neural network in each layer. Through this strategy, we are able to effectively improve the prediction accuracy of the standard neural networks. What's more, providing a new way to update the parameters online as the sequential property of Kalman filter. The proposed method is verified by a data set from University of California database (UCI database). The results illustrated that the proposed model can achieve better prediction accuracy compared with the traditional models.
