Online process monitoring for complex systems with dynamic weighted principal component analysis☆

Conventional multivariate statistical methods for process monitoring may not be suitable for dynamic processes since they usually rely on assumptions such as time invariance or uncorrelation. We are therefore motivated to propose a new monitoring method by compensating the principal component analysis with a weight approach. The proposed monitor consists of two tiers. The first tier uses the principal component analysis method to extract cross-correlation structure among process data, expressed by independent components. The second tier estimates auto-correlation structure among the extracted components as auto-regressive models. It is therefore named a dynamic weighted principal component analysis with hybrid correlation structure. The essential of the proposed method is to incorporate a weight approach into principal component analysis to construct two new subspaces, namely the important component subspace and the residual subspace, and two new statistics are de-fined to monitor them respectively. Through computing the weight values upon a new observation, the proposed method increases the weights along directions of components that have large estimation errors while reduces the influences of other directions. The rationale behind comes from the observations that the fault information is associated with online estimation errors of auto-regressive models. The proposed monitoring method is exem-plified by the Tennessee Eastman process. The monitoring results show that the proposed method outperforms conventional principal component analysis, dynamic principal component analysis and dynamic latent variable. ? 2016 The Chemical Industry and Engineering Society of China, and Chemical Industry Press.

基于非线性主元分析和符号有向图的故障诊断方法

Nonlinear principal component analysis（NLPCA）fault detection method achieves good detection results especially in a nonlinear process.Signed directed graph（SDG）model is based on deep-going information,which excels in fault interpretation.In this work,an NLPCA-SDG fault diagnosis method was proposed.SDG model was used to interpret the residual contributions produced by NLPCA.This method could overcome the shortcomings of traditional principal component analysis（PCA）method in fault detection of a nonlinear process and the shortcomings of traditional SDG method in single variable statistics in discriminating node conditions and threshold values.The application to a distillation unit of a petrochemical plant illustrated its validity in nonlinear process fault diagnosis.     

基于Fisher判别分析和核回归的质量监控和估计

A novel systematic quality monitoring and prediction method based on Fisher discriminant analysis (FDA) and kernel regression is proposed. The FDA method is first used for quality monitoring. If the process is under normal condition, then kernel regression is further used for quality prediction and estimation. If faults have occurred, the contribution plot in the fault feature direction is used for fault diagnosis. The proposed method can effectively detect the fault and has better ability to predict the response variables than principle component regression (PCR) and partial least squares (PLS). Application results to the industrial fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) show the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

A local and global statistics pattern analysis method and its application to process fault identification☆

Traditional principal component analysis (PCA) is a second-order method and lacks the ability to provide higher-order representations for data variables. Recently, a statistics pattern analysis (SPA) framework has been incor-porated into PCA model to make full use of various statistics of data variables effectively. However, these methods omit the local information, which is also important for process monitoring and fault diagnosis. In this paper, a local and global statistics pattern analysis (LGSPA) method, which integrates SPA framework and locality pre-serving projections within the PCA, is proposed to utilize various statistics and preserve both local and global in-formation in the observed data. For the purpose of fault detection, two monitoring indices are constructed based on the LGSPA model. In order to identify fault variables, an improved reconstruction based contribution (IRBC) plot based on LGSPA model is proposed to locate fault variables. The RBC of various statistics of original process variables to the monitoring indices is calculated with the proposed RBC method. Based on the calculated RBC of process variables' statistics, a new contribution of process variables is built to locate fault variables. The simula-tion results on a simple six-variable system and a continuous stirred tank reactor system demonstrate that the proposed fault diagnosis method can effectively detect fault and distinguish the fault variables from normal variables.     

在线自适应批次过程监视的双滑动窗口MPCA方法

Online monitoring of chemical process performance is extremely important to ensure the safety of a chemical plant and consistently high quality of products. Multivariate statistical process control has found wide applications in process performance analysis, monitoring and fault diagnosis using existing rich historical database. In this paper, we propose a simple and straight forward multivariate statistical modeling based on a moving window MPCA （multiway principal component analysis） model along the time and batch axis for adaptive monitoring the progress of batch processes in real-time. It is an extension to minimum window MPCA and traditional MPCA. The moving window MPCA along the batch axis can copy seamlessly with variable run length and does not need to estimate any deviations of the ongoing batch from the average trajectories. It replaces an invariant fixed-model monitoring approach with adaptive updating model data structure within batch-to-batch, which overcomes the changing operation condition and slows time-varying behaviors of industrial processes. The software based on moving window MPCA has been successfully applied to the industrial polymerization reactor of polyvinyl chloride （PVC） process in the Jinxi Chemical Company of China since 1999.     

Fault Prediction Based on Dynamic Model and Grey Time Series Model in Chemical Processes

This paper combines grey model with time series model and then dynamic model for rapid and in-depth fault prediction in chemical processes. Two combination methods are proposed. In one method, historical data is in-troduced into the grey time series model to predict future trend of measurement values in chemical process. These predicted measurements are then used in the dynamic model to retrieve the change of fault parameters by model based diagnosis algorithm. In another method, historical data is introduced directly into the dynamic model to re-trieve historical fault parameters by model based diagnosis algorithm. These parameters are then predicted by the grey time series model. The two methods are applied to a gravity tank example. The case study demonstrates that the first method is more accurate for fault prediction.

基于加权统计局部核主元分析的非线性化工过程微小故障诊断方法

传统统计局部核主元分析（statistical local kernel principal component analysis, SLKPCA）在构造改进残差时未考虑样本的差异性,使得故障样本信息易于被其他样本所掩盖,针对该问题,提出一种基于加权统计局部核主元分析（weighted statistical local kernel principal component analysis, WSLKPCA）的非线性化工过程微小故障诊断方法。该方法首先利用KPCA获取过程的得分向量和特征值并构建初始残差。然后设计了一种基于测试样本与训练样本之间距离的加权策略构建加权改进残差,对含有较强微小故障信息的样本赋予较大权值,以增强故障样本的影响。最后,采用基于测量变量与监控统计量之间的加权互信息构建贡献图以识别故障源变量。在连续搅拌反应釜和田纳西伊斯曼（Tennessee Eastman, TE）化工过程上的仿真结果表明,所提方法具有良好的微小故障检测与识别性能。     

基于WPRKPCA的非线性化工过程微小故障检测

传统核主元分析法（KPCA）是一种广泛应用的非线性化工过程故障检测方法,但是其未充分利用过程数据的概率分布信息,往往难以有效检测过程中的微小故障。针对传统KPCA方法的局限性,本文提出了一种基于加权概率相关核主元分析（WPRKPCA）的非线性化工过程微小故障检测方法。与传统KPCA方法监控核成分的变化不同,该方法利用Kullback Leibler散度（KLD）度量核成分的概率分布变化,进而建立基于KLD成分的统计监控模型,以充分挖掘过程数据所包含的概率信息。进一步考虑到不同KLD成分承载故障信息的差异性,该方法设计了一种基于核密度估计的指数加权策略,根据KLD成分描述故障信息程度的差异分配相应的权值,以加强监控模型对微小故障检测的灵敏性。在一个数值例子和连续搅拌反应器（CSTR）系统上的仿真结果表明,本文所提方法具有比传统KPCA方法更好的微小故障检测性能。

Nonlinear process monitoring using kernel principal component analysis

In this paper, a new nonlinear process monitoring technique based on kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) is developed. KPCA has emerged in recent years as a promising method for tackling nonlinear systems. KPCA can efficiently compute principal components in high-dimensional feature spaces by means of integral operators and nonlinear kernel functions. The basic idea of KPCA is to first map the input space into a feature space via nonlinear mapping and then to compute the principal components in that feature space. In comparison to other nonlinear principal component analysis (PCA) techniques, KPCA requires only the solution of an eigenvalue problem and does not entail any nonlinear optimization. In addition, the number of principal components need not be specified prior to modeling. In this paper, a simple approach to calculating the squared prediction error (SPE) in the feature space is also suggested. Based on T² and SPE charts in the feature space, KPCA was applied to fault detection in two example systems: a simple multivariate process and the simulation benchmark of the biological wastewater treatment process. The proposed approach effectively captured the nonlinear relationship in the process variables and showed superior process monitoring performance compared to linear PCA.

Enhanced statistical analysis of nonlinear processes using KPCA, KICA and SVM

In this paper, some drawbacks of original kernel independent component analysis (KICA) and support vector machine (SVM) algorithms are analyzed for the purpose of multivariate statistical process monitoring (MSPM). When the measured variables follow non-Gaussian distribution, KICA provides more meaningful knowledge by extracting higher-order statistics compared with PCA and kernel principal component analysis (KPCA). However, in real industrial processes, process variables are complex and are not absolutely Gaussian or non-Gaussian distributed. Any single technique is not sufficient to extract the hidden information. Hence, both KICA (non-Gaussion part) and KPCA (Gaussion part) are used for fault detection in this paper, which combine the advantages of KPCA and KICA to develop a nonlinear dynamic approach to detect fault online compared to other nonlinear approaches. Because SVM is available for classifying faults, it is used to diagnose fault in this paper.For above mentioned kernel methods, the calculation of eigenvectors and support vectors will be time consuming when the sample number becomes large. Hence, some dissimilar data are analyzed in the input and feature space.The proposed approach is applied to the fault detection and diagnosis in the Tennessee Eastman process. Application of the proposed approach indicates that proposed method effectively captures the nonlinear dynamics in the process variables.     

基于改进核主成分分析的故障检测与诊断方法

Improved dynamic kernel PCA based on local preserving projections and its application for electric submersible pump fault diagnosis

Dynamic kernel principal component analysis (DKPCA) has been frequently implemented for nonlinear and dynamic process monitoring of complex industrial processes. However, traditional DKPCA focuses only on the global structural analysis of data sets and strongly neglects the local information, which is equally essential for process detection and identification. In this paper, an improved DKPCA, referred to as the local DKPCA (LDKPCA), is proposed based on local preserving projections (LPP) for nonlinear dynamic process fault diagnosis. The method combines the advantages of LPP and DKPCA by utilizing the local structure feature to maintain the geometric structure of the data in a unified framework. To achieve a highly comprehensive feature extraction, the local characteristics are fused in DKPCA to produce an optimization objective. The neighbouring points of the new objective function projection in the feature space are still maintained in proximity, and the variance information is retained simultaneously. For the purpose of fault detection, two statistics, known as the T² and squared prediction error (SPE) statistics, are constructed, based on the LDKPCA model, and used to monitor the latent variable space and the residual space, respectively. In addition, the sensitivity analysis is brought in for fault identification of the two statistics. Based on the experimental analysis using the shaft breakage data of an offshore oilfield electric submersible pump (ESP), the proposed method outperforms the conventional DKPCA in terms of fault monitoring performance. The experimental results demonstrate the potential of the method in nonlinear dynamic process fault diagnosis.
