Description
Summary:The problems that the key biomass variables in <i>Pichia pastoris</i> fermentation process are difficult measure in real time; this paper mainly proposes a multi-model soft sensor modeling method based on the piecewise affine (PWA) modeling method, which is optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO) with an improved compression factor (ICF). Firstly, the false nearest neighbor method was used to determine the order of the PWA model. Secondly, the ICF-PSO algorithm was proposed to cooperatively optimize the number of PWA models and the parameters of each local model. Finally, a least squares support vector machine was adopted to determine the scope of action of each local model. Simulation results show that the proposed ICF-PSO-PWA multi-model soft sensor modeling method accurately approximated the nonlinear features of <i>Pichia pastoris</i> fermentation, and the model prediction accuracy is improved by 4.4884% compared with the weighted least squares vector regression model optimized by PSO.
