A reinforced combinatorial particle swarm optimization based multimodel identification of nonlinear systems

Abstract

Several industrial systems are characterized by high nonlinearities with wide operating ranges and large set point changes. Identification and representation of these systems represent a challenge, especially for control engineers. Multimodel technique is one effective approach that can be used to describe nonlinear systems through the combination of several submodels, where each is contributing to the output with a certain degree of validity. One major concern in this technique, especially for systems with unknown operating conditions, is the partitioning of the system's operating space and thus the identification of different submodels. This paper proposes a three-stage approach to obtain a multimodel representation of a nonlinear system. A reinforced combinatorial particle swarm optimization and hybrid K-means are used to determine the number of submodels and their respective parameters. The proposed method automatically optimizes the number of submodels with respect to the submodel complexity. This allows operating space partition and generation of a parsimonious number of submodels without prior knowledge. The application of this approach on several examples, including a continuous stirred tank reactor, demonstrates its effectiveness.

“…Swarm intelligence algorithms attempt to imitate natural methods to find optimal solutions for different problems. Ant colony optimization (ACO) and PSO were the first methods of these algorithms 10 . ACO is inspired by the ants' behavior, trying to find the shortest path from their colony to the food sources.…”

“…PSO is a relatively modern optimization method that has been used successfully in various optimization problems (Adeniran and El Ferik, 2017). In the PSO algorithm, the population is considered as a swarm and each individual as a particle.…”

“…The PSO is the swarm algorithm that provides optimization (Eberhart and Kennedy, 1995; Kennedy and Eberhart, 1995; Eberhart et al ., 1996). In addition, many studies have examined this algorithm in detail (Reddy and Kumar, 2007; Kramar et al ., 2015; Adeniran and El Ferik, 2017; Ab Rashid et al ., 2019), and in general, most of these studies are results oriented.…”
