The allocation of biogas between power generation and heat supply in traditional kitchen waste power generation system is unreasonable; for this reason, a biogas prediction method based on feature selection and heterogeneous model integration learning is proposed for biogas production predictions. Firstly, the working principle of the biogas generation system based on kitchen waste is analyzed, the relationship between system features and biogas production is mined, and the important features are extracted. Secondly, the prediction performance of different individual learner models is comprehensively analyzed, and the training set is divided to reduce the risk of overfitting by combining K-fold cross-validation. Finally, different primary learners and meta learners are selected according to the prediction error and diversity index, and different learners are fused to construct the stacking ensemble learning model with a two-layer structure. The experimental results show that the research method has a higher prediction accuracy in predicting biogas production, which provides supporting data for the economic planning of kitchen waste power generation systems.
