  • Publication number: 20200012270
    Abstract: An anomaly detection module is configured to apply a plurality of machine learning models to received technical status data to detect one or more indicators of an abnormal technical status prevailing in the industrial process system. The plurality of machine learning models are trained on historic raw or pre-processed sensor data and the anomaly detection module configured to generate the anomaly alert based on the one or more indicators. The received technical status data is assigned to signal groups and the generated anomaly alert is a vector with each vector element representing a group anomaly indicator for the respective signal group. Each vector element is determined by applying a respective group specific machine learning model.

  • Publication number: 20180087489
    Abstract: A method for monitoring turbines of a windmill farm includes: providing a global nominal dataset containing frame data of the turbines of the windmill farm and continuous reference monitoring data of the turbines for a first period in a fault free state, the reference monitoring data including at least two same monitoring variables for each turbine; building a nominal global model based on the global nominal dataset which describes the relationship in between the windmill turbines and clustering the turbines according thereto; assigning the data of the global nominal dataset to respective nominal local datasets according to the clustering; and building a nominal local model for the turbines of each cluster based on the respective assigned nominal local datasets, the nominal local model being built such that a nonconformity index is provideable which indicates a degree of nonconformity between data projected on the local model and the model itself.

  • Publication number: 20180004193
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for controlling a process in a process plant using a controller. The method comprises receivable associated with the process, determining a first value of at least one key performance indicator associated with the transition from the process data of the first process variable between the first steady state and the second steady state, comparing the determined first value of the at least one key performance indicator against a threshold value of the at least one key performance indicator; and determining a correction factor for modifying a set point of the process variable based on the comparison, for controlling the process.

  • Patent number: 9720015
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and system for intelligent visualization in the monitoring of process and/or system data used in technical processes and in the operation of technical systems. The behavior of signals in the past is analyzed and used for a future optimized visualization. Continuously running online algorithms support the system operator by detecting and correspondingly highlighting deviations from the historically observed signal patterns.
