Fault identification for process monitoring using kernel principal component analysis (original) (raw)

Modified kernel principal component analysis based on local structure analysis and its application to nonlinear process fault diagnosis

Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems, 2013

Traditional kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) concentrates on the global structure analysis of data sets but omits the local information which is also important for process monitoring and fault diagnosis. In this paper, a modified KPCA, referred to as the local KPCA (LKPCA), is proposed based on local structure analysis for nonlinear process fault diagnosis. In order to extract data feature better, local structure analysis is integrated within the KPCA, and this results in a new optimisation objective which naturally involves both global and local structure information. With the application of usual kernel trick, the optimisation problem is transformed into a generalised eigenvalue decomposition on the kernel matrix. For the purpose of fault detection, two monitoring statistics, known as the T 2 and Q statistics, are built based on the LKPCA model and confidence limit is computed by kernel density estimation. In order to identify fault variables, contribution plots for monitoring statistics are constructed based on the idea of sensitivity analysis to locate the fault variables. Simulation using the Tennessee Eastman benchmark process shows that the proposed method outperforms the traditional KPCA, in terms of fault detection performance. The results obtained also demonstrate the potential of the proposed fault identification approach.

Non-linear process monitoring using kernel principal component analysis: A review of the basic and modified techniques with industrial applications

Brazilian Journal of Chemical Engineering, 2021

Timely detection and diagnosis of process abnormality in industries is crucial for minimizing downtime and maximizing profit. Among various process monitoring and fault detection techniques, principal component analysis (PCA) and its different variants are probably the ones with maximum applications. Because of the linearity constraint of the conventional PCA, some non-linear variants of PCA have been proposed. Among different non-linear variants of PCA, the kernel PCA (KPCA) has gained maximum attention in the field of industrial fault detection. This article revisits the basic KPCA algorithm along with different limitations of KPCA and the crucial open issues in design of KPCA based monitoring system. Different modifications proposed by different researchers are reviewed. Strategies adopted by various researchers for optimal selection of kernel parameter and number of principal components are also presented.

New fault detection method based on reduced kernel principal component analysis (RKPCA)

This paper proposes a new method for fault detection using a reduced kernel principal component analysis (RKPCA). The proposed RKPCA method consists on approximating the retained principal components given by the KPCA method by a set of observation vectors which point to the directions of the largest variances with the retained principal components. The proposed method has been tested on a chemical reactor and the results were satisfactory.

Nonlinear process monitoring using kernel principal component analysis

Chemical Engineering Science, 2004

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 e ciently compute principal components in high-dimensional feature spaces by means of integral operators and nonlinear kernel functions. The basic idea of KPCA is to ÿrst 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 speciÿed 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 T 2 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 e ectively captured the nonlinear relationship in the process variables and showed superior process monitoring performance compared to linear PCA. ?

Fault detection based on Kernel Principal Component Analysis

Engineering Structures, 2010

In the field of structural health monitoring or machine condition monitoring, the activation of nonlinear dynamic behavior may render the procedure of damage or fault detection more difficult. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is known as a popular method for diagnosis but as it is basically a linear method, it may pass over some useful nonlinear features of the system behavior. One possible extension of PCA is Kernel PCA (KPCA), owing to the use of nonlinear kernel functions that allow to introduce nonlinear dependences between variables. The objective of this paper is to address the problem of fault detection (in terms of nonlinear activation) in mechanical systems using a KPCA-based method. The detection is achieved by comparing the subspaces between the reference and a current state of the system through the concept of subspace angle. It is shown in this work that the exploitation of the measurements in the form of block Hankel matrices can improve effectively the detection results. The method is illustrated on an experimental example consisting of a beam with a geometric nonlinearity.

Primary-Auxiliary Statistical Local Kernel Principal Component Analysis and Its Application to Incipient Fault Detection of Nonlinear Industrial Processes

IEEE Access, 2019

Statistical local kernel principal component analysis (SLKPCA) has demonstrated its success in incipient fault detection of nonlinear industrial processes by incorporating the statistical local analysis (SLA) technology. However, the basic SLKPCA method builds the statistical model only based on the normal data and neglects the utilization of the prior fault information, which is often available in many industrial cases. To take full advantage of the prior fault information, this paper proposes an enhanced SLKPCA method, called primary-auxiliary SLKPCA (PA-SLKPCA), for better incipient fault monitoring. The contribution of the proposed method includes three aspects. First, one primary-auxiliary statistical monitoring framework is designed, by which not only the normal training data are applied to develop a primary SLKPCA model, but also the prior fault data are used to build the auxiliary SLKPCA models. Second, a double-block modeling strategy is developed to construct the auxiliary SLKPCA model for each fault case, where a variable grouping strategy based on Kullback-Leibler divergence is applied to divide the process variables into the fault-relevant group and fault-independent variable group, and the sub-model is developed for each group. Third, the Bayesian inference is used to combine the statistical results of each variable group, and one weighted fusion strategy is further designed to integrate the monitoring results from the primary and auxiliary models. Lastly, two case studies including one numerical system and the simulated continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) system are used for method evaluation and the simulations show that the proposed method can detect the incipient faults effectively and outperform the traditional SLKPCA method. INDEX TERMS Incipient fault, fault detection, kernel principal component analysis, statistical local analysis, prior fault information.

Process Monitoring Using Kernel PCA and Kernel Density Estimation-Based SSGLR Method for Nonlinear Fault Detection

Applied Sciences, 2022

Fault monitoring is often employed for the secure functioning of industrial systems. To assess performance and enhance product quality, statistical process control (SPC) charts such as Shewhart, CUSUM, and EWMA statistics have historically been utilized. When implemented to multivariate procedures, unfortunately, such univariate control charts demonstrate low fault sensing ability. Due to some limitations of univariate charts, numerous process monitoring techniques dependent on multivariate statistical approaches such as principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares (PLS) have been designed. Yet, in some challenging scenarios in industrial chemical and biological processes with notably nonlinear properties, PCA works poorly, according to its presumption that the dataset generally be linear. However, Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) is a reliable and precise nonlinear process control methodology, but the interaction mainly through upper control limits (UCLs) ...

New Adaptive Kernel Principal Component Analysis for Nonlinear Dynamic Process Monitoring

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Information Sciences

In this paper a new algorithm for adaptive kernel principal component analysis (AKPCA) is proposed for dynamic process monitoring. The proposed AKPCA algorithm combine two existing algorithms, the recursive weighted PCA (RWPCA) and the moving window kernel PCA algorithms. For fault detection and isolation, a set of structured residuals is generated by using a partial AKPCA models. Each partial AKPCAmodel is performed on subsets of variables. The structured residuals are utilized in composing an isolation scheme, according to a properly designed incidence matrix. The results for applying this algorithm on the nonlinear time varying processes of the Tennessee Eastman shows its feasibility and advantageous performances.

Diagnosis of nonlinear systems using kernel principal component analysis

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2014

Technological advances in the process industries during the past decade have resulted in increasingly complicated processes, systems and products. Therefore, recent researches consider the challenges in their design and management for successful operation. While principal component analysis (PCA) technique is widely used for diagnosis, its structure cannot describe nonlinear related variables. Thus, an extension to the case of nonlinear systems is presented in a feature space for process monitoring. Working in a high-dimensional feature space, it is necessary to get back to the original space. Hence, an iterative pre-image technique is derived to provide a solution for fault diagnosis. The relevance of the proposed technique is illustrated on artificial and real dataset.
