A guideline study for optimal machine learning approaches to predict the off-design performance of sCO2-PCHEs by Xin Sui, Wenqi Wang, Chunyang Liu, Peixin Dong

“…Finally, a mutual assessment is conducted to rank their accuracy and generalization when predicting the heat transfer coefficient across three real-world operating scenarios. This study concludes that: 1) BPNN and XGBoost emerge as the best performers with the highest accuracy, achieving a MAPE of 2.938 % and 3.074 %, respectively, among eleven approaches with four ML models and seven Nu correlation-based models included; 2) BPNN and XGBoost exhibit strong generalization ability, demonstrating accuracy losses of less than 0.057 and 0.244, respectively, against unseen data; 3) unlike FCDN, which requires substantial computational time, or SVM, which produces significant errors, BPNN and XGBoost are more reliable and efficient in forecasting sCO2-PCHEs’ performance for future power cycle control studies that involve vast operating conditions and numerous rounds of optimization search.…”
