Abstract
Highlights: In industrial plants with non-oscillatory set points, oscillation detection and diagnosis are key steps to improve plant performance and safety. Oscillations in linear closed loop systems can occur due to one or more of the following reasons: (i) changes in process/controller settings, (ii) stiction in control valves, (iii) external oscillatory disturbances, (iv) quantization effects, and (v) presence of saturation and hysteresis in closed loop systems. Though there are techniques to address oscillation diagnosis problem, there are gray areas such as the identification of multiple sources that cause oscillations in the process output. In this work, this problem is addressed through the development of an algorithm to identify multiple sources of oscillations in Single Input Single Output (SISO) loops. Further, an integrated approach to diagnose both single/multiple root causes in SISO loops is presented. Simulation and industrial case studies are provided to show the applicability of the proposed algorithms. © 2014 The Institution of Chemical Engineers.
