Abstract
Automatic control is realized by means of feedback of real time information to adjust a set of manipulated variables continuously. Process monitoring provides supervision of process operations so that abnormal operating conditions can be detected, diagnosed, and proper adjustment can be implemented as needed. The common purpose is to reduce process variability under real-world operating conditions with the use of real time data.
In this seminar, a sample-covariance benchmark is proposed for control performance monitoring. Within the covariance monitoring scheme, generalized eigenvalue analysis is used to extract the directions with degraded or improved control performance against the benchmark. A statistical inference method is further developed for the generalized eigenvalues and corresponding confidence intervals are derived from asymptotic statistics. This procedure can be used to determine the directions or subspaces with significantly worse or better performance versus the benchmark. The covariance-based performance indices within the isolated worse and better performance subspaces are derived to assess the performance degradation or improvement.
