Survey on data-driven industrial process monitoring and diagnosis

This paper provides a state-of-the-art review of the methods and applications of data-driven fault detection and diagnosis that have been developed over the last two decades. The scope of the problem is described with reference to the scale and complexity of industrial process operations, where multi-level hierarchical optimization and control are necessary for efficient operation, but are also prone to hard failure and soft operational faults that lead to economic losses. Commonly used multivariate statistical tools are introduced to characterize normal variations and detect abnormal changes. Further, diagnosis methods are surveyed and analyzed, with fault detectability and fault identifiability for rigorous analysis. Challenges, opportunities, and extensions are summarized with the intent to draw attention from the systems and control community and the process control community.
