The present invention belongs to the field of information technology, involving the techniques of fuzzy modeling, reinforcement learning, parallel computing, etc. It is a method combining granular computing and reinforcement learning for construction of long-term prediction interval and determination of its structure. Adopting real industrial data, the present invention constructs multi-layer structure for assigning information granularity in unequal length and establishes corresponding optimization model at first. Then considering the importance of the structure on prediction accuracy, Monte-Carlo method is deployed to learn the structural parameters. Based on the optimal multi-layer granular computing structure along with implementing parallel computing strategy, the long-term prediction intervals of gaseous generation and consumption are finally obtained. The proposed method exhibits superiority on accuracy and computing efficiency which satisfies the demand of real-world application. It can be also generalized to apply on other energy systems in steel industry.
