Abstract

Accurate heat rate forecasting is very important in ensuring the economic, efficient, and safe operation of a steam turbine unit. The support vector machine (SVM) is a novel tool from the artificial intelligence field that has been successfully applied to heat rate forecasting. The least squares SVM (LS-SVM) is an improved algorithm based on the SVM. LS-SVM has minimal computational complexity and fast calculation. However, traditional LS-SVM, which was established by using offline data samples, can no longer accurately describe the actual system working condition, thereby resulting in problems when directly used in heat rate prediction. In this paper, a heat rate forecasting method based on online LS-SVM, which possesses dynamic prediction functions, is proposed. To avoid blindness and inaccuracy in parameter selection, the gravitational search algorithm (GSA) is used to optimize the regularization parameter @c and the kernel parameter @s^2 of the online LS-SVM modeling. The results confirm the efficiency of the proposed method.
