Industrial process monitoring using support vector data description: A systematic review and application for fault detection in multiphase flow system

Abstract

In the era of Industry 4.0, machine learning based data-driven techniques are increasingly explored for industrial process monitoring. This article presents a review on application of support vector data description (SVDD) for industrial process monitoring followed by the design of SVDD model for fault detection in a multiphase flow system. In the review section, the basic technique, open design issues and a detailed survey on industrial applications are presented. In the application part, PRONTO benchmark multiphase flow dataset, is used to design SVDD model for detection of three faults: air leakage, air blockage and diverted flow. The Gaussian kernel parameter of the SVDD model is determined using particle swarm optimization (PSO) and the starting value for PSO, is obtained from literature provided analytical formula. Simulation of PSO-SVDD models shows promising results for fault detection in multiphase flow system.
