Abstract

In this paper we consider an application of data mining technology to the analysis of time series data from a pilot circulating fluidized bed (CFB) reactor. We focus on the problem of the online mass prediction in CFB boilers. We present a framework based on switching regression models depending on perceived changes in the data. We analyze three alternatives for change detection. Additionally, a noise canceling and a state determination and windowing mechanisms are used for improving the robustness of online prediction. We validate our ideas on real data collected from the pilot CFB boiler.
