Researchers from University College London and Swerim AB developed a Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) that integrates the zone method's energy balance equations to predict temperatures in reheating furnaces. This approach enables real-time temperature predictions with enhanced accuracy and robustness for industrial process optimization.

Key insights

  • Integrating physics-based regularizers significantly enhances a neural network's generalization capability and robustness, particularly in auto-regressive and out-of-distribution prediction scenarios for complex industrial systems.
  • Providing previous time-step temperatures as inputs substantially improves the prediction accuracy for all models by offering crucial temporal context.
  • The combined use of energy balance regularizers for both gas (volume) and surface zones proved more effective than using either in isolation, confirming the complementary nature of these physical constraints.
