基于Q统计量的工业过程监控实例分析

将多变量统计过程控制应用于过程监控与诊断,在学术研究中已经较为普遍,但在工业实践方面还未充分施行。本文用一个化工过程的实例,讨论具体实施方案。首先,用一般的主元分析模型,分别使用了Q和T~2统计量,发现实际问题中有些情况下,两者提供的控制图信息不完全一致,造成工程人员难以分析判断。为提供更好的解决方案,采用两个新的统计量来代替Q统计量,应用结果表明,当Q统计量进一步分解后,可以对过程运行的状态作出更细致的解释,有助于找出过程运行中的故障。

Case study of industrial process monitoring based on Q statistic

Multivariate statistical process control for process monitoring and diagnosis are becoming more common in academic re- search,but are still underutilized in industrial practice.This paper discusses a practical case study on a chemical process.Convention- al principal component model is firstly used to analysis the practical process with the control procedures built on Q and T~2 statistic.In the real situations of process,the information described by the Q statistic sometimes does not well match with those of T~2,it will bring confusions to the engineer.To provide better detection,an improved Q statistic is adopted,which introduces two new indices instead of Q statistic.Operation results show that the two indices stemmed from Q could give better explanations to the process behavior and do help to diagnose the faults.
