The basic idea is to convert the information contained in the input-output data collected from the process into a mathematical model. Such a mathematical model can be used as a cost efficient substitute for hardware sensors. The Support Vector Regression (SVR) tool is one such computational tool that has recently received much attention in the system identification literature, especially because of its successes in building nonlinear blackbox models. In this work we demonstrate the application of SVR as an efficient and easy-to-use tool for developing soft sensors for nonlinear processes. In an industrial case study, we illustrate the development of a steady state Melt Index soft sensor for an industrial scale Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) polymer extrusion process using SVR. The SVR based soft sensor, valid over a wide range of melt indices, outperformed the existing nonlinear least squares based soft sensor in terms of lower prediction errors. Through a second case study, we demonstrate the application of SVR for developing soft sensors in the form of dynamic models for a laboratory scale twin screw polymer extrusion process.","PeriodicalId":149864,"journal":{"name":"18th Mediterranean Conference on Control and Automation, MED'10","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114053970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A ReO is an adaptive observer consisting of an integrator and a reset law that resets the output of the integrator depending on a predefined condition. The main contribution of this paper is the application of the reset element theory to the adaptive observer LTI framework. The introduction of the reset element in the adaptive laws can decrease the overshooting and settling time of the estimation process without sacrificing the rising time. The stability and convergence LMI-based analysis of the proposed ReO is also addressed. Additionally, an easily computable method to determine the ℒ2 gain of the ReO dealing with noise-corrupted systems is presented.
