A Hierarchical Fault Diagnosis Method Using a Decision Support System Applied to a Chemical Plant
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automatic control systems with sophisticated control algorithm can be very large and complex. In order to improve the automatic process control, it is important to develop fault diagnosis strategy. A hierarchical scheme of fault detection and isolation based on Decision Support System (DSS) is presented. For fault diagnosis, a knowledge based procedure is required. In addition to analytic symptoms, heuristic information have to be taken into account. A pattern recognition method, a unified representation of all symptoms, and a fuzzy expert system are integrated in the diagnostic tool. This approach is applied to sensor fault detection in a chemical plant, and compared with different methods.

Developing a multi-criteria decision support system based on fuzzy analytical hierarchical process (AHP) method for selection of appropriate high-strength wastewater treatment plant
The selection of optimum high strength wastewater treatment process is complicated. Be familiar with wastewater treatment methods is not enough to design a plant. In this research, five alternative wastewater treatment methods (upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) + membrane bioreactor (MBR), UASB + Extended aeration (EA), Anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR), anaerobic lagoon (ANL) + aerated lago...
متن کاملUsing Wavelet Support Vector Machine for Fault Diagnosis of Gearboxes
Identifying fault categories, especially for compound faults, is a challenging task in mechanical fault diagnosis. For this task, this paper proposes a novel intelligent method based on wavelet packet transform (WPT) and multiple classifier fusion. An unexpected damage on the gearbox may break the whole transmission line down. It is therefore crucial for engineers and researchers to monitor the...
