“…A Gaussian process may be described by the mean and covariance (or kernel) function in the same manner as a Gaussian distribution. The kernel assesses the comparability of the traits that GPR uses to forecast the biophysical parameters [25]. A Bayesian framework is used to teach general practitioners.…”

Due to the significant increase in heavy feedstocks being transported to refineries and the hydrocracking process, the significance of adopting an ebullated bed reactor has been reemphasized in recent years. The predictive modelling of gas hold-up in an ebullated two-phase reactor was performed using 10 machine learning methods based on support vector machine (SVM) and Gaussian process regression (GPR) in this study. In an ebullated bed reactor, the impacts of three features, namely liquid velocity, gas velocity, and recycling ratio, on the gas hold-up were examined. The liquid velocity has the most impact on the predicted gas hold-up, according to the feature significance analysis. The rotational-quadratic, squared-exponential, Matern 5/2, and exponential kernel functions integrated with the GPR models and the linear, quadratic, cubic, fine, medium, and coarse kernel functions integrated with the SVM model performed well during training and testing, with the exception of the fine SVM model, whose R2 is very low. According to the R2 > 0.9 and low RMSE and MAE values, the rotational-quadratic, squared-exponential, and Matern 5/2 GPR models performed the best.

Biodiesel production often results in the production of a significant amount of waste glycerol. Through various technological processes, waste glycerol can be sustainably utilized for the production of value-added products such as hydrogen. One such process used for waste glycerol conversion is the bioprocess, whereby thermophilic microorganisms are utilized. However, due to the complex mechanism of the bioprocess, it is uncertain how various input parameters are interrelated with biohydrogen production. In this study, a data-driven machine-learning approach is employed to model the prediction of biohydrogen from waste glycerol. Twelve configurations consisting of the multilayer perceptron neural network (MLPNN) and the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) were investigated. The effect of using different combinations of activation functions such as hyperbolic tangent, identity, and sigmoid on the model’s performance was investigated. Moreover, the effect of two optimization algorithms, scaled conjugate gradient and gradient descent, on the model performance was also investigated. The performance analysis of the models revealed that the manner in which the activation functions are combined in the hidden and outer layers significantly influences the performance of various models. Similarly, the model performance was also influenced by the nature of the optimization algorithms. The MLPNN models displayed better predictive performance compared to the RBFNN models. The RBFNN model with softmax as the hidden layer activation function and identity as the outer layer activation function has the least predictive performance, as indicated by an R2 of 0.403 and a RMSE of 301.55. While the MLPNN configuration with the hyperbolic tangent as the hidden layer activation function and the sigmoid as the outer layer activation function yielded the best performance as indicated by an R2 of 0.978 and a RMSE of 9.91. The gradient descent optimization algorithm was observed to help improve the model’s performance. All the input variables significantly influence the predicted biohydrogen. However, waste glycerol has the most significant effects.

The control of the field outlet temperature of a parabolic trough solar field (PTSF) is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of the solar power system but with the difficulties arising from the multiple disturbances and constraints imposed on the variables. To this end, this paper proposes a constraint optimal model-based disturbance predictive and rejection control method with a disturbance prediction part. In this method, the steady-state target sequence is dynamically corrected in the presence of constraints, the lumped disturbance, and its future dynamics predicted by the least-squares support vector machine. In addition, a maximum controlled allowable set is constructed in real time to transform an infinite number of constraint inequalities into finite ones with the integration of the corrected steady-state target sequence. On this basis, an equivalent quadratic programming constrained optimization problem is constructed and solved by the dual-mode control law. The simulation results demonstrate the setpoint tracking and disturbance rejection performance of our design under the premise of constraint satisfaction.
