This paper proposes a novel prediction approach based on the BiLSTM-Deep autoencoder enhanced traditional LSSVM algorithm, termed BiLSTM-DeepAE-LSSVM. This approach thoroughly exploits the implicit information contained in copious amounts of unlabeled data in the rare earth production process, thereby improving the traditional supervised prediction method and increasing the accuracy of component content predictions. Initially, a BiLSTM autoencoder is established for unsupervised training on the rare earth production process data, enabling the extraction of inherent time series characteristics. Subsequently, boolean vectors are introduced in the Deep autoencoder training process to perform masking operations on the input data, simulating scenarios with noise and missing data. This is facilitated by their adherence to Bernoulli distributions, which allow for the random setting of certain input vector dimensions to zero. Additionally, the Deep autoencoder is capable of extracting high-dimensional implicit features from the data. After that, the conventional supervised prediction technique, least squares support vector machine (LSSVM), is fused with the implicit characteristics derived from the well-constructed BiLSTM-Deep autoencoder, culminating in the creation of a prediction model for rare earth component content. Ultimately, the simulation verification using LaCe/PrNd extraction field data demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach in harnessing substantial quantities of unlabeled data from the rare earth extraction production process, thereby bolstering the accuracy of model predictions.</p>","PeriodicalId":94059,"journal":{"name":"ISA transactions","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142934309","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}

The proposed control approach directly regulates the magnitude and angle of the rotor-flux vector rather than controlling rotor currents or voltages as in classic field oriented control (FOC). To accurately regulate the magnitude and frequency of stator voltage, two separate closed-loop based PI regulators are employed to evaluate the reference signals of the rotor flux vector magnitude and angle, respectively. As the proposed control strategy directly regulates the rotor flux vector in the rotor frame, this helps effectively in avoiding the use of rotor speed/position sensors or computationally intensive rotor speed estimators. Furthermore, the stator current measurements are not required to evaluate the load power requirement, considerably reducing the control implementation cost for the system. Furthermore, the proposed control strategy has the ability to operate in both sub-synchronous and super-synchronous speed modes without the need to identify the operating speed range. Since the method only requires knowledge of rotor resistance, it is extremely simple to use and virtually parameter-independent. To evaluate the performance, effectiveness and robustness of the new controller, extensive simulation and experimental tests of a 3-kW laboratory generator are accomplished for different operating conditions. Additionally, a performance comparison with the classic FOC strategy is made, from which the superiority of the proposed control is clearly confirmed.</p>","PeriodicalId":94059,"journal":{"name":"ISA transactions","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142928937","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}

Unlike traditional Markovian switching systems, singularly perturbed S-MSSs allow more flexible state transitions, which can be described by a general distribution rather than the exponential distribution assumed in Markovian switching systems. To enhance the performance of such systems, a novel memory-based dynamic event-triggered protocol (DETP) is proposed, incorporating a memory term for the auxiliary offset variable. This approach reduces the frequency of communication packets, leading to more efficient transmission scheduling. The proposed memory-based DETP distinguishes itself by utilizing both the memory term and the singular perturbation parameter, effectively mitigating communication overhead while maintaining control performance. In addition, an innovative integral-type sliding surface is constructed, and a hidden semi-Markovian switching model is employed to address mode mismatches between the original system and the sliding mode control law. Using parameter-dependent Lyapunov theory, several sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the exponential mode stability under bounded disturbances (EMSUB) behavior of the sliding mode dynamics.

In this paper, we develop a recursive constrained adaptive filtering algorithm named recursive generalized maximum correntropy with a forgetting factor (FF-RCGMC). This algorithm integrates the exponential weighted GMC criterion with a linear constraint framework based on least-squares. However, the lack of constraint information during the learning process may lead to divergence or malfunctioning of FF-RCGMC after a certain number of iterations because of round-off errors. To rectify this deficiency, we introduce a constraint-forcing strategy into FF-RCGMC, resulting in a more stable variant termed robust type constraint-forcing FF-RCGMC (CFFF-RCGMC). In the context of CFFF-RCGMC, we embark on a thorough examination of its computational burden, encompassing both mean and mean-square stability analyses, along with an in-depth exploration of its transient and steady-state filtering characteristics under a set of plausible assumptions.
