Researchers have developed a novel two-stage residual learning (TSRL) framework using artificial neural networks to improve the accuracy of machine learning models in optimizing thermal systems. This framework addresses local modeling inaccuracies by using a base ANN to predict outputs and a secondary residual ANN to learn the errors of the base model. Applied to a crude distillation unit and an industrial gas turbine, the TSRL framework significantly reduced prediction errors, improving accuracy for fuel oil prediction and turbine heat rate. AI
