Modeling of the Power Station Boiler Combustion Efficiency Considering Multiple Work Condition with Feature Selection by TANG Zhenhao, WU Xiaoyan, CAO Shengxian

“…It is difficult for power station boiler efficiency to measure precisely A datadriven modeling method is proposed to establish the boiler combustion efficiency model, according to the machine learning theories A classification and regression trees (CART) algorithm provides correlated variables which have significant relation with the boiler combustion efficiency by data analysis Then, a KNearest Neighbor (KNN) classifies the samples to distinguish the data from different work conditions Based on the classified data, a least square support vector machine (LSSVM) optimized by differential evolution (DE) algorithm is proposed to establish a datadriven model (DDMMF) The parameters of LSSVM are optimized dynamically by DE to improve the model accuracy Finally, the prediction model is corrected dynamically for further improvement of the prediction accuracy The experimental results based on actual production data illustrate that the proposed approach can predict the boiler combustion efficiency accurately, which meets the requirements of boiler control and optimization…”

Coupling and coordination evaluation of digital economy and green development efficiency in eight urban agglomerations in China by Yue Liu

“…Furthermore, by applying multi-index evaluation methods, the EBM-DEA model based on Pearson correlation coefficient, and the coupling coordination degree model, the systematic evaluation and relationship analysis of the digital economy and green development efficiency were carried out. The research results are as follows: (1) The overall coupling coordination degree of two systems in the eight major urban agglomerations in China shows a fluctuating growth trend, achieving a transformation from near imbalance to good coordination, but there are obvious phased characteristics and regional imbalances. (2) In the eight urban agglomerations, the overall Gini coefficient of the coupling coordination degree of these two systems shows a fluctuating downward trend, presenting a “rising–falling” inverted “V” shape feature, and the spatial differences gradually narrow. (3) The stability of the coupling coordination degree at all levels in the eight urban agglomerations is relatively high, with obvious solidification phenomena. …”
