Description
Summary:Oscillations constitute a common form of plant-wide disturbances. The presence of oscillations in control loops results in increased process variability which is undesirable from quality point of view. In this paper, a simple visualization tool is developed to detect oscillations using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The advantage of PCA in dimensionality reduction enables clear visualization of the process performance while taking into account all variables in the loop. Simulation results using an industrial Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU) show successful implementation of the PCA method in detecting oscillations in the loop due to control valve nonlinearity.
