Abstract:
Statistical analysis method has emerged as a general approach to detect relation alarms in the process industries. However, the delay between related alarms is the main cause leading to wrong analysis results from traditional approaches to detect correlated alarms. This paper proposed a novel detection of correlated alarms based on block matching similarities with delay (BMS-d). First, blocking alarm data sequence method is to transform alarm data into time node sequences, which is able to reduce the calculation burden of the correlation analysis. Second, a novel maximal block correlation coefficient method is presented to estimate the correlation delay between alarms. Third, a novel method is proposed to detect correlated alarms based on the block matching similarities and related alarm delay information. A numerical case and TE process are employed to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method.

Correlation
Two variables, for example, a and b, are said to be positively correlated if both variables move in the same direction. In other words, a positive correlation exists between two variables, a and b, if:
