Multivariate Statistical Kernel PCA for Nonlinear Process Fault Diagnosis in Military Barracks

Because of the nonlinear characteristics of monitoring system in military barracks, the traditional KPCA method either have low sensitivity or unable to detect the fault quickly and accurately. In order to make use of higher-order statistics to get more useful information and meet the requirements of real-time fault diagnosis and sensitivity, a new method of fault detection and diagnosis is proposed based on multivariate statistical kernel principal component analysis (MSKPCA), which combines statistic pattern analysis framework (SPA) and kernel principal component analysis (KPCA). First, the transformation of multivariate statistics and kernel function are conducted in which technology of moving time window is used. Then, PCA is executed to analysis the kernel function obtained from the first step. Moreover, the statistics of T^2 and SPE and the control limits of them are calculated. Finally, simulations on a typical nonlinear numerical example show that the proposed MSKPCA method is more effective than PCA and KPCA in terms of fault detection and diagnosis.
