Abstract
In this paper the problem of regressors selection in Virtual Instruments (VI) design is addressed The VI is designed to replace the on line analyzer of a Sulfur Recovery Unit (SRU) of a large refinery located in Sicily during maintenance operations. It is designed by using nonlinear MA models implemented by a MLP neural network. The use of a set of cross-correlation functions, proposed by Billings and Voon to evaluate the performance of nonlinear models is used to select the regressors of the discrete-time NMA model by implementing an automatic regressor selection algorithm. The designed Soft Sensor has been implemented at the refinery to be tested on lineI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
