| contents | The thermal management of cryogenic storage tanks requires advanced control strategies to minimize the boil-off losses produced by heat leakages and sloshing-enhanced heat and mass transfer. This work presents a data-assimilation approach to calibrate a 0D thermodynamic model for cryogenic fuel tanks from data collected in real time from multiple tanks. The model combines energy and mass balance between three control volumes (the ullage vapor, the liquid, and the solid tank) with an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for predicting the heat transfer coefficients from the current tank state. The proposed approach combines ideas from traditional data assimilation and multi-environment reinforcement learning, where an agent's training (model assimilation) is carried out simultaneously on multiple environments (systems). The real-time assimilation uses a mini-batch version of the Limited-memory Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno with bounds (L-BFGS-B) and adjoint-based gradient computation for solving the underlying optimization problem. The approach is tested on synthetic datasets simulating multiple tanks undergoing different operation phases (pressurization, hold, long-term storage, and sloshing). The results show that the assimilation is robust against measurement noise and uses it to explore the parameter space further. Moreover, we show that sampling from multiple environments simultaneously accelerates the assimilation. |
