摘要: 針對KR工序終點鐵水硫含量預測問題,提出一種基于Kmeans聚類分析和BP神經網絡(BPNN)相結合的建模方法。首先,通過Kmeans聚類對KR工序生產數據進行模式識別和分類,構建不同工況特征的數據集;然后,基于BP神經網絡,針對不同數據集訓練預測模型;最后,將不同數據集的預測模型進行集成,形成最終的終點鐵水硫含量預測模型,實現對不同鐵水條件和工況條件的預測。利用某鋼鐵企業實際生產數據,分別用基于脫硫反應動力學、BP神經網絡和Kmeans–BPNN方法建立的預測模型,對KR工序終點鐵水硫含量進行預測。結果表明,Kmeans–BPNN的KR工序終點硫含量預測模型的精度顯著高于脫硫反應動力學和BP神經網絡的預測模型。Abstract: In the steel manufacturing process, an accurate prediction of end sulfur content in KR is crucial for steadily controlling sulfur content in molten iron and improving steel properties. Regarding the end sulfur content prediction in the KR process, an integrated modeling method based on Kmeans clustering analysis and the BP neural network (BPNN) is proposed in this paper. As an unsupervised learning method, Kmeans clustering analysis can complete data classification according to the similarity of influencing factors instead of depending on target values. The BPNN, as a supervised learning method, can effectively explore the correlation between influencing factors and target values. The integration of these two methods can realize information exploration of data from different dimensions. Based on this understanding and the actual production data in one steel plant, the prediction model of end sulfur content in KR based on Kmeans–BPNN is studied. First, datasets of different operating conditions are constructed according to the pattern recognition and classification of production data in the KR process through Kmeans clustering. By establishing the relation curve between the number of clustering centers and the mean error of clustering results and selecting the adjacent positions to 10% of the maximum mean error difference, the number of Kmeans clustering centers is confirmed as five. Then, the prediction model is trained by different datasets based on the BPNN. The input layer and hidden layer have five nodes, and the output layer has one node in the BPNN-based prediction model of end sulfur content in KR. A piecewise linear function is selected as the activation function, and the maximum number of training is fixed at 1,000. Finally, the prediction models of different datasets are integrated and formulated in the final prediction model of end sulfur content in molten iron, realizing the prediction of different molten iron conditions and operating conditions. To test and verify the effectiveness and accuracy of the prediction model based on the Kmeans–BPNN method, the end sulfur content prediction of molten iron in KR is performed by applying prediction models based on desulfurization reaction kinetics, routine BPNN, and Kmeans–BPNN using the same training and testing datasets. The prediction results indicate that the end sulfur content prediction in KR based on the Kmeans–BPNN method is significantly more accurate than that of the prediction model based on the desulfurization reaction kinetics and the routine BPNN model.
