Methods for Performance Monitoring and Diagnosis of Multivariable Model-based Control Systems
Methods for performance monitoring and diagnosis of multivariable closed loop systems have been proposed aiming at application to model predictive control systems for industrial processes. For performance monitoring, the well-established traditional statistical process control method is empolyed. To meet the underlying premise that the observed variable is univariate and statistically independent, a temporal and spatial decorrelation procedure for process variables has been suggested. For diagnosis of control performance deterioration, a method to estimate the model-error and disturbance signal has been devised. This method enables us to identify the cause of performance deterioration among the controller, process, and disturbance. The proposed methods were evaluated through numerical examples.
