Multimode processes monitoring based on hierarchical mode division and subspace decomposition

Abstract

AbstractTo handle multimodal uncertainty and dynamics which are common in actual industrial processes, this paper proposes a multimode process monitoring method based on hierarchical mode division and subspace decomposition. First, hierarchical mode division is presented to achieve hierarchical mode information for multimode process modelling, which can improve the adaptability of industrial processes with multimodal uncertainty. Then, hierarchical subspace decomposition is presented to decompose multimode processes into multiple global subspaces and multiple local subspaces for monitoring. Lastly, the most similar mode with various hierarchical modes at the current sampling point is dynamically determined for monitoring, which considers multimodal dynamics. The simulation tests of the penicillin fermentation processes are developed to show feasibility and superiority of the proposed method.
