On soft sensor of chemical oxygen demand by SOM-RBF neural network
and chemical oxygen demand (COD) is one of the key indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of wastewater treatment. It is costly and time-consuming to get COD by traditional chemical approaches. By neural networks
it is faster
but it is not accurate enough. To address them
a soft sensor approach
which is based on the combination of self-organizing map (SOM) and radial basis function (RBF) neural network
is designed. SOM is taken to cluster data samples. The number of hidden layer nodes and the center vector of the nodes are determined by clustering results. By such disposal
the rate of convergence and fitting precision have been improved. Part data of water samples from a sewage treatment plant are taken to establish the soft sensor model of COD. Test results provided by numerical model and hardware show that
compared with the traditional BP
RBF and other networks
the soft sensor model of COD designed in this paper has short measurement time and relatively high prediction accuracy. It may be a promising soft sensor approach in applications.
