SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OFFLINE AND/OR ONLINE BATCH MONITORING USING DECOMPOSITION AND SIGNAL APPROXIMATION APPROACHES

摘要

A method (300, 400, 500, 1200) for offline/online monitoring of batch processes. The method involves (312) decomposing a time domain of a batch process run (BPR) into several blocks and (334) building multivariate statistical models (MSMs) for each of them using archived data for a batch process (ABPD). ABPD comprises stored data obtained during BPRs. The method also involves (506, 1204) retrieving recently stored data (RSD) for a recent fully performed BPR run (FPRNEW) or current BPR run. The method further involves (520, 1210) building a feature vector matrix (FVM) using RSD. FVM contains feature vectors representing statistical measures of wavelet coefficients determined for variables (v0,..., vJ). A projection (1100, 1150, 1190) is formed by projecting feature vectors onto at least one MSM or a combined multivariate statistical model (CMSM). CMSM is a weighted average of at least two MSMs. Subsequently, at least one estimate is generated for FPRNEW or current BPR run using information provided by the projection (528, 1220).
