Design of optimal Elman Recurrent Neural Network based prediction approach for biofuel production

Abstract

Abstract Renewable sources like biofuels have gained significant attention to meet the rising demands of energy supply. Biofuels find useful in several domains of energy generation such as electricity, power, or transportation. Due to the environmental benefits of biofuel, it has gained significant attention in the automotive fuel market. Since the handiness of biofuels become essential, effective models are required to handle and predict the biofuel production in realtime. Deep learning techniques have become a significant technique to model and optimize bioprocesses. In this view, this study designs a new optimal Elman Recurrent Neural Network (OERNN) based prediction model for biofuel prediction, called OERNN-BPP. The OERNN-BPP technique pre-processes the raw data by the use of empirical mode decomposition and fine to coarse reconstruction model. In addition, ERNN model is applied to predict the productivity of biofuel. In order to improve the predictive performance of the ERNN model, a hyperparameter optimization process takes place using political optimizer (PO). The PO is used to optimally select the hyper parameters of the ERNN such as learning rate, batch size, momentum, and weight decay. On the benchmark dataset, a sizable number of simulations are run, and the outcomes are examined from several angles. The simulation results demonstrated the suggested model's advantage over more current methods for estimating the output of biofuels.
