Distributed Parallel PCA for Modeling and Monitoring of Large-Scale Plant-Wide Processes With Big Data

摘要

In order to deal with the modeling and monitoring issue of large-scale industrial processes with big data, a distributed and parallel designed principal component analysis approach is proposed. To handle the high-dimensional process variables, the large-scale process is first decomposed into distributed blocks with a priori process knowledge. Afterward, in order to solve the modeling issue with large-scale data chunks in each block, a distributed and parallel data processing strategy is proposed based on the framework of MapReduce and then principal components are further extracted for each distributed block. With all these steps, statistical modeling of large-scale processes with big data can be established. Finally, a systematic fault detection and isolation scheme is designed so that the whole large-scale process can be hierarchically monitored from the plant-wide level, unit block level, and variable level. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated through the Tennessee Eastman benchmark process.
