Learning Reduced-Order Quadratic-Linear Models in Process Engineering Using Operator Inference
摘要
In this work, we address the challenge of efficiently modeling dynamical systems in process engineering. We use reduced-order model learning, specifically operator inference - a non-intrusive, data-driven method for understanding dynamical systems from time-domain data. The application in our study is carbon dioxide methanation, an important reaction within the Power-to-X framework, to demonstrate its potential. The numerical results show the ability of the reduced-order models constructed with operator inference to provide a reduced yet accurate surrogate solution. This represents an important milestone towards the implementation of fast and reliable digital twin architectures.
