Research on a Machine Learning-Based Energy Consumption Prediction Model for Silicon Manganese Smelting Furnaces
摘要
The energy consumption of silicon manganese ore blast furnace is a key comprehensive indicator of its production efficiency and operational economy. Addressing the difficulty in directly measuring this metric, this study employs total flue gas heat as an indirect proxy. A series of predictive models—including Linear Regression, XGBoost, ADABoost.R2, ELM, LightGBM, and LSBoost—was initially developed to conduct a comparative benchmarking analysis. The comparison results show that the XGBoost model achieved the best overall performance on the test set (RMSE = 0.048645, R
