CBR Approach for Technical Diagnostics of Mill Fan System

Abstract

Fault diagnostics shares with other process operations the realization that with powerful knowledge representation schemes one can capture the expertise of operators and control engineers all that was gained over the years of experience with process plants. Process specific knowledge can be used to improve general purpose methodologies. There is a close coupling between diagnostics and process operations design of plants. The proper design of a plant can reduce the burden upon the task of diagnostics. Also, the information from diagnostics can be used to continuously improve the performance of process operations. The information from fault diagnostics can be incorporated into the traditional solution paradigms of other process operations. The aim of this paper is to provide a Case Based Reasoning (CBR) approach for technical diagnostics of mill fan system that would particularly share information with the fault diagnostics module and also outline the nature of interaction that one can expect.
