Abstract
It is essential to conduct root cause diagnosis (RCD) to guarantee the safety of operations of chemical processes and suppress fault deterioration, yet RCD has encountered challenges in the context of the increasing complexity of industrial processes. Granger causality (GC) analysis is one of the most commonly used methods to construct process causal maps and identify root causes. However, its use is subject to a number of limitations for dynamic nonlinear industrial processes. Therefore, an optimized GC analysis is proposed to perform RCD in complex industrial processes based on the spatiotemporal coalescent-based prediction model (SCPM) and causality verification algorithm (CVA). The time series prediction model SCPM is presented as an alternative to GC’s conventional autoregressive model in order to avoid spurious regressive facing nonlinear processes, which stacks dilated convolutional neural networks (DCNN) and bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) to coalesce time series nonlinear couplings and long-term dependence information. Moreover, considering data that may deviate from normal distribution after the fault occurs, a nonparametric causality test method CVA based on the Wilcoxon signed-rank test (WSRT) is constructed combined with SCPM to eliminate false causality discovery. Empirical results on the Tennessee Eastman process and the blast furnace process demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed RCD method.
