Abstract It has been shown that artificial neural networks (ANNs) can be used to simulate and control thermal systems such as heat exchangers. It is known that the characteristics of thermal components such as heat exchangers vary with respect to time mainly due to fouling effects. There is a need of a model that can adapt to the new characteristics of the thermal system. In this work adaptive artificial neural networks are used to control the outlet air temperature of a heat exchanger test facility. The neurocontrollers are adapted on-line on the basis of different criteria. The parameters of the ANNs are modified considering target error and stability conditions of the closed loop system analyzed as a nonlinear iterative map. We also implement a minimization of a performance index that quantifies the energy consumption. It is shown numerically and experimentally that the neural network is able to control the thermal facility, and is also able to adapt to different disturbances applied to the system, while minimizing the amount of energy used.

The subject of the research is the methods of constructing and training neural networks as a nonlinear modeling apparatus for solving the problem of predicting the energy consumption of metallurgical enterprises. The purpose of this work is to develop a model for forecasting the consumption of the power system of a metallurgical enterprise and its experimental testing on the data available for research of PJSC "Dneprospetsstal". The following tasks have been solved: analysis of the time series of power consumption; building a model with the help of which data on electricity consumption for a historical period is processed; building the most accurate forecast of the actual amount of electricity for the day ahead; assessment of the forecast quality. Methods used: time series analysis, neural network modeling, short-term forecasting of energy consumption in the metallurgical industry. The results obtained: to develop a model for predicting the energy consumption of a metallurgical enterprise based on artificial neural networks, the MATLAB complex with the Neural Network Toolbox was chosen. When conducting experiments, based on the available statistical data of a metallurgical enterprise, a selection of architectures and algorithms for learning neural networks was carried out. The best results were shown by the feedforward and backpropagation network, architecture with nonlinear autoregressive and learning algorithms: Levenberg-Marquard nonlinear optimization, Bayesian Regularization method and conjugate gradient method. Another approach, deep learning, is also considered, namely the neural network with long short-term memory LSTM and the adam learning algorithm. Such a deep neural network allows you to process large amounts of input information in a short time and build dependencies with uninformative input information. The LSTM network turned out to be the most effective among the considered neural networks, for which the indicator of the maximum prediction error had the minimum value. Conclusions: analysis of forecasting results using the developed models showed that the chosen approach with experimentally selected architectures and learning algorithms meets the necessary requirements for forecast accuracy when developing a forecasting model based on artificial neural networks. The use of models will allow automating high-precision operational hourly forecasting of energy consumption in market conditions. Keywords: energy consumption; forecasting; artificial neural network; time series.

<p>In many areas such as financial, energy, economics, the historical data are non-stationary and contain trend and seasonal variations. The goal is to forecast the energy consumption in U.S. using two approaches, namely the statistical approach (SARIMA) and Neural Networks approach (ANN), and compare them in order to find the best model for forecasting. The energy area has an important role in the development of countries, thus, consumption planning of energy must be made accurately, despite they are governed by other factors  such that population, gross domestic product (GDP), weather vagaries, storage capacity etc. This paper examines the forecasting performance for the residential energy consumption data of United States between SARIMA and ANN methodologies. The multi-layer perceptron (MLP) architecture is used in the artificial neural networks methodology. According to the obtained results, we conclude that the neural network model has slight superiority over SARIMA model and those models are not directional. </p>

Soil information is needed for managing the agricultural environment. The aim of this study was to apply artificial neural networks (ANNs) for the prediction of soil classes using orbital remote sensing products, terrain attributes derived from a digital elevation model and local geology information as data sources. This approach to digital soil mapping was evaluated in an area with a high degree of lithologic diversity in the Serra do Mar. The neural network simulator used in this study was JavaNNS and the backpropagation learning algorithm. For soil class prediction, different combinations of the selected discriminant variables were tested: elevation, declivity, aspect, curvature, curvature plan, curvature profile, topographic index, solar radiation, LS topographic factor, local geology information, and clay mineral indices, iron oxides and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) derived from an image of a Landsat-7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) sensor. With the tested sets, best results were obtained when all discriminant variables were associated with geological information (overall accuracy 93.2 - 95.6 %, Kappa index 0.924 - 0.951, for set 13). Excluding the variable profile curvature (set 12), overall accuracy ranged from 93.9 to 95.4 % and the Kappa index from 0.932 to 0.948. The maps based on the neural network classifier were consistent and similar to conventional soil maps drawn for the study area, although with more spatial details. The results show the potential of ANNs for soil class prediction in mountainous areas with lithological diversity.

Dynamic Enhancement

Zur Dynamiksteigerung von Scannersystemen werden verschiedene Arten von Modellierungs- und Regelungsmethoden in der Forschung genutzt. Jedoch sind Nichtlinearitäten, welche das Systemverhalten nachweisbar beeinflussen, in aller Regel nicht Teil der Untersuchung. Mit der Anwendung künstlicher neuronaler Netzwerke (KNN) wird das gesamte dynamische Systemverhalten sowohl für ein geregeltes als auch für ein ungeregeltes Scannersystem abgebildet. So wird geklärt, ob sich diese Art der Modellbildung für eine zukünftige Dynamiksteigerung eignet. &nbsp; To enhance the dynamics of a scanner system, different methods of modelling and control are utilized. Nonlinearities, which have a certain impact on the system’s behavior, are generally ignored, though. By applying artificial neural networks, the overall dynamics of a controlled and an uncontrolled scanner could be represented. Thus, it will be clarified whether this kind of modelling is appropriate for a future dynamic enhancement.

In much of the public literature on pin-fin heat transfer, Nusselt number is presented as a function of Reynolds number using a power-law correlation. Power-law correlations typically have an accuracy of 20% while the experimental uncertainty of such measurements is typically between 5% and 10%. Additionally, the use of power-law correlations may require many sets of empirical constants to fully characterize heat transfer for different geometrical arrangements. In the present work, artificial neural networks were used to predict heat transfer as a function of streamwise spacing, spanwise spacing, pin-fin height, Reynolds number, and row position. When predicting experimental heat transfer data, the neural network was able to predict 73% of array-averaged heat transfer data to within 10% accuracy while published power-law correlations predicted 48% of the data to within 10% accuracy. Similarly, the neural network predicted 81% of row-averaged data to within 10% accuracy while 52% of the data was predicted to within 10% accuracy using power-law correlations. The present work shows that first-order heat transfer predictions may be simplified by using a single neural network model rather than combining or interpolating between power-law correlations. Furthermore, the neural network may be expanded to include additional pin-fin features of interest such as fillets, duct rotation, pin shape, pin inclination angle, and more making neural networks expandable and adaptable models for predicting pin-fin heat transfer.
