用神经算子从少量边界数据重建内部状态,实现毫秒级实时监测。
Virtual Sensing to Enable Real-Time Monitoring of Inaccessible Locations & Unmeasurable Parameters
- 基于多输入多输出神经算子,融合异构数据重构任意位置场信息。
- 在三类复杂系统中误差低于5%,推理时间小于1毫秒。
- 可恢复无直接传感器的物理量,适合能源、环境等关键场景。
在能源、环境与工业系统中,对安全关键内部状态的实时监测仍是一个开放问题,因直接传感不可行。现有基于控制方程、离散状态向量或固定传感器位置的方法无法实现在任意内部坐标下、与网格无关的场级重建。本文提出基于神经算子的虚拟传感框架,采用MIMONet模型,通过共享隐空间融合异构输入并解码耦合场。在三个工程级评估中——封闭循环流、压水堆子通道及紧凑型热交换器——MIMONet实现了低于5%的相对重建误差,推理时间低于1毫秒,并具备校准不确定性和抗噪声能力。在三个独立真实数据集上验证:氢燃料电池电流密度映射、气象塔风速剖面、全球再分析的北大西洋海洋状态。相比经典方法提升72%-84%,包括在仅10%传感器覆盖下恢复燃料电池内部场提高84%,以及从低层传感器恢复轮毂高度风速提升83%。尤为突出的是,成功从温度和盐度学习到的耦合关系中恢复海表高度(无直接传感器),误差比最佳传统预测降低4.1倍。这些结果确立了基于算子的虚拟传感在无法直接测量关键状态系统的实时可观测性中的实用性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Real-time monitoring of safety-critical interior states is an open problem across energy, environmental and industrial systems where direct instrumentation is infeasible. Approaches based on governing equations, discrete state vectors or fixed sensor locations cannot deliver mesh-independent, field-level reconstruction at arbitrary interior coordinates in real time. Here we introduce neural operator-based virtual sensing, a framework for recovering inaccessible interior fields from sparse boundary measurements, instantiated with MIMONet, a multi-input, multi-output neural operator that fuses heterogeneous inputs and decodes coupled fields through a shared latent representation. Across three engineering-grade evaluations of escalating complexity - confined recirculating flow, pressurized water reactor subchannels and compact power-system heat exchangers - MIMONet attains relative reconstruction error below 5% with sub-millisecond inference, with calibrated uncertainty and noise resilience. We validate the framework on three independent real-world datasets spanning electrochemical energy, atmospheric science and physical oceanography: current-density mapping in a hydrogen fuel cell, wind-speed profiling on meteorological towers, and North Atlantic ocean state from a global reanalysis. MIMONet improves on classical virtual-sensing baselines by 72-84%, including 84% for fuel-cell internal fields recovered from 10% sensor coverage and 83% for hub-height wind speed recovered from lower-level tower sensors. Most notably, it recovers sea-surface height, a field with no direct sensors, from its learned coupling to observed temperature and salinity at 4.1x lower error than the best classical predictor. These results establish operator-based virtual sensing as a practical route to real-time field observability in systems where the states that matter most cannot be measured directly.
