    Abstract: A dynamic modular neural network (DMNN) for NOx emission prediction in MSWI process is provided. First, the input variables are smoothed and normalized. Then, a feature extraction method based on principal component analysis (PCA) was designed to realize the dynamic division of complex conditions, and the prediction task to be processed was decomposed into sub-tasks under different conditions. In addition, aiming each sub-tasks, a long short-term memory (LSTM)-based sub-network is constructed to achieve accurate prediction of NOx emissions under various working conditions. Finally, a cooperative strategy is used to integrate the output of the sub-networks, further improving the accuracy of prediction model. Finally, merits of the proposed DMNN are confirmed on a benchmark and real industrial data of a municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) process. The problem that the NOx emission of MSWI process is difficult to be accurately predicted due to the sensor limitation is effectively solved.
