摘要:
针对传统方法难以准确预测复杂工况下的燃油流量,进而影响排放计算精度的问题,提出一种基于神经网络基函数分解的NBEATS-MARS(neural basis expansion analysis for time series with multi-variable adaptive rapid state-transition)模型。该模型采用多栈分解结构,设计多类型基函数系统,通过基函数分解实现可解释的高精度预测。实验表明:NBEATS-MARS模型方均根误差为59.49,对称平均绝对百分比误差为5.75%,中位数误差仅为0.29%;在爬升巡航下降阶段表现最佳,方均根误差为32.75,对称平均绝对百分比误差为1.87%。基于此构建了综合航空排放计算方法,通过将预测的燃油流量数据作为核心输入,结合发动机排气温度等健康状态参数,实现了二氧化碳、氮氧化物、黑碳和有机碳等多种航空排放物的精确量化。燃油流量预测误差的降低使排放计算不确定性显著减小,巡航阶段排放量计算精度提升至±2%以内。该方法通过提高上游燃油流量预测精度,有效改善了下游航空排放评估的准确性和空间分辨率。
Abstract:To address the challenge of accurately predicting fuel flow under complex operating conditions that affects emission calculation precision, a NBEATS-MARS (Neural Basis Expansion Analysis for Time Series with Multi-variable Adaptive Rapid State-transition) model based on neural network basis function decomposition was proposed for aircraft fuel flow prediction. The model employed a multi-stack decomposition structure and designed multiple types of basis function systems to achieve interpretable high-precision prediction through basis function decomposition. Experiments demonstrated that the NBEATS-MARS model achieved a root mean square error of 59.49, a symmetric mean absolute percentage error of 5.75%, and a median error of only 0.29%. The model performed optimally during the climb-cruise-descent phase with a root mean square error of 32.75 and a symmetric mean absolute percentage error of 1.87%. Based on this, a comprehensive aviation emission calculation method was constructed by using predicted fuel flow data as the core input and combining engine exhaust temperature and other health status parameters to achieve precise quantification of various aviation emissions, including carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, black carbon, and organic carbon. The reduction in fuel flow prediction error significantly cut down the emission calculation uncertainty, with cruise phase emission calculation accuracy improved to within ±2%. The method effectively enhanced the accuracy and spatial resolution of downstream aviation emission assessment by improving the upstream fuel flow prediction precision.
