TY - CHAP A1 - Weidl, Galia A1 - Vollmar, Gerhard A1 - Dahlquist, Erik T1 - Adaptive Root Cause Analysis under uncertainties in industrial process operation T2 - The Foundations of Computer Aided Process Operations (FOCAPO 2003) N2 - We discuss a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) system implementing a probabilistic approach based on Bayesian inference for adaptive reasoning under uncertainties in industrial process operation. The proposed approach is model based and accumulates the process knowledge within the problem domain, which data is gathered and stored in XML-based information server. The Bayesian networks have been created automatically from the XML-structured data. The interconnection between XML-failure trees is handled as object oriented instances of Bayesian sub-networks within master-network covering the entire process and monitoring its overall condition, output quality and equipment effectiveness. We implement sequential on-line adaptivity of models' parameters to reflect changes in process operation. The system learning can be supervised by user feedback on the actual root cause. The general RCA methodology is applied to plate cutting in a hot rolling mill.

The Bayesian networks are used for condition monitoring and root cause analysis of process operation. The recommended decision sequence of corrective actions and observations is obtained following the "myopic" approach. The BN inference on most probable root cause is used in an influence diagram for taking decisions on urgency of corrective actions vs. delivery deadline. The build-in chain of causality from root cause to process faults can provide the user with explanation facility and a simulation tool of the effect of intended actions.

These are used as inputs to a root cause analysis system, optimization and advanced control, using among others MPC, model predictive control. The system is being implemented at Visy Pulp and Paper mill in Tumut, Australia.

RCA can identify non-obvious process problems and is therefore a powerful complement to normal automatic control. The general methodology is applied to a continuous digester.

It represents a combination of OOBN with first level diagnostic packages and physical models serving as agents in the system design and providing evidence for automated reasoning on abnormality in process operation. The aim is causal analysis of non-measurable disturbances as a decision advice complement to the distributed control system (DCS). The approach includes prediction of signals' level-trend development, risk assessment for disturbance analysis and predictive maintenance on demand. The methodology has been applied on a screening process with a pressure-flow network in a Pulp Mil.
