In this study, a prediction model based on support vector regression (SVR) is constructed to predict the gas utilization rate (GUR) of a blast furnace (BF) at different time points. Pre-processing the raw data using the 3 sigma criterion leads to more accurate predictions.
The gas utilization rate (GUR) is an important indicator parameter for reflecting the energy consumption and smooth operation of a blast furnace (BF). In this study, the original data of a BF are pre-processed by two methods, i.e., box plot and 3 sigma criterion, and two data sets are obtained. Then, support vector regression (SVR) is used to construct a prediction model based on the two data sets, respectively. The state parameters of a BF are selected as input parameters of the model. Gas utilization after one hour (GUR-1h), two hours (GUR-2h), and three hours (GUR-3h) are selected as output parameters, respectively. The simulation result demonstrates that using the 3 sigma criterion to pre-process the raw data leads to better prediction of the model compared to using the box plot. Moreover, the model has the best predictive effect when the output parameter is selected as GUR-1h.
