ABSTRACT
For a complex process like wastewater treatment, a single model suffers from heavy burden calculation
and poor accuracy. A multi-model modeling method based on an improved supervised k-means clustering
algorithm is proposed. The method introduced the cluster center initialization idea of CCIA algorithm into
classical k-means clustering algorithm applied to group the data into clusters, and the least squares method is
used to construct ARX sub-models. The system model is constructed by weighing all ARX sub-models. The
proposed method is used to identify the ammonia concentration model for Benchmark wastewater treatment
system and the actual plant process data. Simulation results show that the proposed method can be used to fit
nonlinear characteristics of the system with high precision.
