Abstract

Oxygen-content in flue gases is an important factor for the economical burning in the power plant. Because of influence from many different factors, it has some difficulties in testing of oxygen-content in flue gases. In this paper the author chooses indirect variables and then the soft sensor model based on least square support vector machine for oxygen-content in flue gases of power plant is put forward. Simplex algorithm is applied on searching for the two necessary parameters of LS-SVM, and practical data is handed together to test the model. Simulation result shows that the method has more evident advantages than both the traditional oxygen-content instrument and the radial basis function-based soft sensor. In this paper, we take RBF as the acronym of radial basis function. It also has a better capability index and of important significance for economical burning in the power plant.
