As a result, the propagation of alarms corresponding to these faulty variables occurs, leading operators to potentially receive an excessive number of alarm notifications that could significantly impact their decision-making capabilities. To address this issue, a systematic method is proposed to investigate potential fault propagation paths to provide decision support in response to alarm notifications, in order to minimize industrial process failures. The contributions of this paper are twofold. Firstly, it involves enhanced dependency analysis that captures dependent alarms and identifies both weak and strong dependencies among alarm variables using historical alarm and event (A&E) logs that are generated by industrial control systems. Secondly, it offers comprehensive visualization of fault propagation in response to single and multiple alarms, including extracting crucial timing information, identifying the shortest, longest, and critical paths, and determining effective operator actions. The proposed method is designed to enhance process operation and provide essential decision support for industrial operators. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through a case study using real industrial data.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50615,"journal":{"name":"Control Engineering Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142150518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study introduces a predictive modeling framework for silicon production in fluidized bed reactors to characterize both the particle size distribution of the product and powder loss. Two different flow regime modeling approaches are explored to describe the silane pyrolysis reaction and illustrate how the deposition rate affects particle growth and powder loss. A discrete population balance equation is employed to estimate the particle size distribution as a function of the deposition rate. Subsequently, a robust nonlinear model predictive control (RNMPC) approach is utilized to regulate the system at the desired operating conditions, stabilize the product particle size distribution, and minimize powder loss. Detailed open-loop and closed-loop simulation studies demonstrate the successful integration of RNMPC and the proposed predictive modeling approach.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50615,"journal":{"name":"Control Engineering Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142150519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For deep neural network-based soft sensors, redundancy in input variables and network structure has emerged as one of the most important challenges. In this article, a sparse regularized soft sensor based on the gated recurrent unit (GRU) and self-interpretation dual nonnegative garrote is proposed. Initially, a proficiently trained GRU network is established as the pre-trained model, followed by the design of a set of self-interpretation factors based on the mean influence value of different input variables. Secondly, the contraction coefficients of the nonnegative garrote are sequentially incorporated into the GRU input and hidden layer weight matrices. Meanwhile, the self-interpretation factors are introduced into the constraints of the nonnegative garrote algorithm to guide it to adaptively adjust the applied penalty strength based on the relative importance of different input variables. The strategy integrates variable selection with the model training process to sparsify the network structure and provide self-interpretable variable selection results. Finally, the performance of the developed approach is verified through a practical application in power plant desulfurization systems. The case studies demonstrate that the developed approach for soft sensor modeling outperforms other existing methods and shows promising application prospects. In addition, the validity of the self-interpretable variable selection results is verified via the known mechanism analysis and expert experience.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50615,"journal":{"name":"Control Engineering Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142150521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Limited by the time-varying operational conditions, traditional RUL prediction models trained on some run-to-failure (RTF) datasets are unlikely to be generalized to a new degradation process. To enhance the generalizability, recent studies have focused on the development of deep domain adaptation methods for RUL prediction, which mainly align the global temporal features across the source and target domains, resulting in imprecise predictions under time-varying operational conditions. In addition, existing RUL prediction methods are lacking in clear physical significance and interpretability. To address the above-mentioned issues, an operational condition attention (OCA) subnetwork is constructed to eliminate the entanglement between the time-varying operational conditions and monitoring data. Adversarial-based domain adaptation (ABDA) and distance-based domain adaptation (DBDA) methods were utilized respectively to reduce the distribution discrepancy of the temporal features. In this way, two novel domain adaption methods were proposed for RUL prediction with time-varying operational conditions. The comprehensive experiments were conducted on aero-engines to validate the proposed methods. Owing to the explicit modeling of the influence mechanism between the operational conditions and monitoring data, the proposed methods exhibit improved performance as well as higher prediction accuracy than traditional deep domain adaption methods while being certainly interpretable.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50615,"journal":{"name":"Control Engineering Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142150520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, aircraft antiskid braking systems are subject to many parametric uncertainties and uncertain disturbances, and the limited sensor signals make it more difficult to design a high-performance antiskid braking system controller. To address this issue, an observer-based adaptive robust aircraft antiskid braking system controller with disturbance compensation is proposed to enhance the tracking performance and disturbance rejection of aircraft antiskid braking system. The proposed controller effectively integrates parameter identification, adaptive control, and extended state observer using the backstepping method. Parametric uncertainties and fast time-varying brake torque conversion coefficient are handled by adaptive law and least squares parameter identification method, respectively. After that, the remaining parametric uncertainties, parameter identification errors, and uncertain disturbances are observed integrally by constructing extended state observer and compensated in a feedforward way. Another feature of the designed controller is that the dynamics of the hydraulic system are considered, and the disturbances of the hydraulic system are also observed and compensated with extended state observer, thus further improving tracking accuracy. Since the burden of extended state observer is greatly reduced by adaptive law and parameter identification, the proposed controller can effectively avoid high-gain feedback while theoretically guaranteeing that the tracking error is bounded in the presence of time-variant uncertainties. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is proved by several sets of simulation tests and brake testing platform experiments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50615,"journal":{"name":"Control Engineering Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142137120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
