Prediction of Converter Process Energy Consumption Based on Support Vector Regression
摘要
To address the urgent need for energy conservation and carbon reduction in the steel industry and achieve converter energy refined management, this paper takes converter process energy consumption as the research object and proposes a prediction model based on Support Vector Regression (SVR). Ten key influencing factors are determined through mechanistic analysis, and their correlation with energy consumption is verified using Grey Relational Analysis (GRA). Dimensionality reduction via Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is then employed to mitigate overfitting, and SVR hyperparameters are optimized using grid search and K-fold cross-validation. Experimental results demonstrate that the prediction accuracy (RMSE = 3.9854, MAE = 2.9524, MAPE = 7.33%) and computational efficiency of this model are superior to those of Backpropagation (BP) Neural Network and Random Forest (RF) models. The model can provide a reliable basis for energy consumption optimization in actual production, strongly supporting the green and low-carbon transformation of the steel industry. Finally, to enhance the model’s reliability, the results are analyzed using Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP).
