More Information
  • Data-driven techniques are reshaping blast furnace iron-making process (BFIP) modeling, but their “black-box” nature often obscures interpretability and accuracy. To overcome these limitations, our mechanism and data co-driven strategy (MDCDS) enhances model transparency and molten iron quality (MIQ) prediction. By zoning the furnace and applying mechanism-based features for material and thermal trends, coupled with a novel stationary broad feature learning system (StaBFLS), interference caused by nonstationary process characteristics are mitigated and the intrinsic information embedded in BFIP is mined. Subsequently, by integrating stationary feature representation with mechanism features, our temporal matching broad learning system (TMBLS) aligns process and quality variables using MIQ as the target. This integration allows us to establish process monitoring statistics using both mechanism and data-driven features, as well as detect modeling deviations. Validated against real-world BFIP data, our MDCDS model demonstrates consistent process alignment, robust feature extraction, and improved MIQ modeling—yielding better fault detection. Additionally, we offer detailed insights into the validation process, including parameter baselining and optimization. Details of the code are available online.1
