Abstract:A unified framework based on the dynamic principal component analysis (PCA) is proposed for performance monitoring of constrained multi-variable model predictive control (MPC) systems. In the proposed performance monitoring framework, the dynamic PCA based performance benchmark is adopted for performance assessment, while performance diagnosis is carried out using a unified weighted dynamic PCA similarity measure. Simulation results obtained from the case study of the Shell process demonstrate that the use of the dynamic PCA performance benchmark can detect the performance deterioration more quickly compared with the traditional PCA method, and the proposed unified weighted dynamic PCA similarity measure can correctly locate the root cause for poor performance of MPC controller.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
