Identification of Multiple Input-multiple Output Non-linear System Cement Rotary Kiln using Stochastic Gradient-based Rough-neural Network

Because of the existing interactions among the variables of a multiple inputmultiple output (MIMO) nonlinear system, its identification is a difficult task, particularly in the presence of uncertainties. Cement rotary kiln (CRK) is a MIMO nonlinear system in the cement factory with a complicated mechanism and uncertain disturbances. The identification of CRK is very important for different purposes such as prediction, fault detection, and control. In the previous works, CRK was identified after decomposing it into several multiple inputsingle output (MISO) systems. In this paper, for the first time, the roughneural network (RNN) is utilized for the identification of CRK without the usage of MISO structures. RNN is a neural structure designed on the base of rough set theory for dealing with the uncertainty and vagueness. In addition, a stochastic gradient descent learning algorithm is proposed for training the RNNs. The simulation results show the effectiveness of proposed methodology.
