Battery and energy management methodologies have been proposed to address the design challenges of driving range and battery lifetime in Electric Vehicles (EV). However, the driving behavior is a major factor which has been neglected in these methodologies. In this paper, we propose a novel context-aware methodology to estimate the driving behavior in terms of future vehicle speeds and integrat...

Modelling the respiratory system of intensive care patients can enable individualized mechanical ventilation therapy and reduce ventilator induced lung injuries. However, spontaneous breathing (SB) efforts result in asynchronous pressure waveforms that mask underlying respiratory mechanics. In this study, a nonlinear auto-regressive (NARX) model was identified using a modified Gauss-Newton (GN)...

Fractionation product properties of crude distillation unit (CDU) need to be monitored and controlled through feedback mechanism. Due to inability of on-line measurement, soft sensors for product quality estimation are developed. Soft sensors for kerosene distillation end point are developed using linear and nonlinear identification methods. Experimental data are acquired from the refinery dist...

Nonlinear empirical models are used in various applications. During model-building, five major steps usually have to be carried out: model structure selection, determination of input variables, complexity adjustment of the model, parameter estimation and model validation. These steps have to be repeated until a satisfactory model is found, which can be very time consuming and may require user i...

  Abstract: In this paper, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used for modeling the nonlinear structure of a debutanizer column in a refinery gas process plant. The actual input-output data of the system were measured in order to be used for system identification based on root mean square error (RMSE) minimization approach. It was shown that the designed recurrent neural network is able to pr...

In recent years, solar radiation forecasting has become highly important worldwide as energy increases its contribution to electricity grids. However, due the intermittent nature of caused by meteorological parameters, errors arise, and fluctuations in power output photovoltaic (PV) systems a severe issue. This paper aims introduce hybrid model daily global time series. Meteorological data samp...

This paper discusses neural multi-models based on Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) networks and a computationally efficient nonlinear Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithm which uses such models. Thanks to the nature of the model it calculates future predictions without using previous predictions. This means that, unlike the classical Nonlinear Auto Regressive with eXternal input (NARX) model, t...

Abstract Aiming to improve the position and velocity precision of INS/GNSS system during GNSS outages, a novel that combines unscented Kalman filter (UKF) nonlinear autoregressive neural networks with external inputs (NARX) is proposed. The NARX-based module utilized predict measurement updates UKF outages. A new offline approach for selecting optimal NARX suggested tested. This based ...

This paper investigates how to develop a learning-based demand response approach for electric water heater in a smart home that can minimize the energy cost of the water heater while meeting the comfort requirements of energy consumers. First, a learning-based, data-driven model of an electric water heater is developed by using a nonlinear autoregressive network with external input (NARX) using...
