초록

지속적으로 강화되는 환경오염 물질 배출 규제로 인해, 질소 산화물(NOx)의 배출량 예측 및 관리는 산업 현장에서 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 인공지능 기반 질소산화물 배출량 예측모델 개발을 위한 연구모형을 제안하였다. 제안된 연구모형은 데이터의 전처리 과정부터 인공지능 모델의 학습 및 평가까지 모두 포함하고 있으며, 시계열 특성을 가지는 NOx 배출량을 예측하기 위하여 순환 신경망 중 하나인 Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) 모델을 활용하였다. 또한 의사결정나무 기법을 활용하여 LSTM의 time window를 모델 학습 이전에 선정하는 방법을 채택하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 연구모형의 NOx 배출량 예측 모델은 가열로에서 확보한 조업 데이터로 학습되었으며, 최적 모델은 hyper-parameter를 조절하여 개발되었다. 개발된 LSTM 모델은 학습 데이터 및 평가 데이터에 대하여 모두 93% 이상의 NOx 배출량 예측 정확도를 나타내었다. 본 연구에 제안된 연구모형은 시계열 특성을 가지는 다양한 대기오염 물질의 배출량 예측모델 개발에 응용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Prediction and control of nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission is of great interest in industry due to stricter environmental regulations. Herein, we propose an artificial intelligence (AI)-based framework for prediction of NOx emission. The framework includes pre-processing of data for training of neural networks and evaluation of the AI-based models. In this work, Long-Short-Term Memory (LSTM), one of the recurrent neural networks, was adopted to reflect the time series characteristics of NOx emissions. A decision tree was used to determine a time window of LSTM prior to training of the network. The neural network was trained with operational data from a heating furnace. The optimal model was obtained by optimizing hyper-parameters. The LSTM model provided a reliable prediction of NOx emission for both training and test data, showing an accuracy of 93% or more. The application of the proposed AI-based framework will provide new opportunities for predicting the emission of various air pollutants with time series characteristics.
