Case Study and Application Examples

Abstract

In this chapter, three application examples are introduced, which will be applied to illustrate the major process monitoring, diagnosis and control schemes presented and studied in this book. The first two are real laboratory control systems, which are widely used both in the model-based and data-driven fault diagnosis research. The third one is a benchmark process that is mainly applied for the test and demonstration of data-driven control and monitoring schemes. The objective of introducing these application examples in the first part of this book, immediately after Introduction, is to provide the reader with the useful application background and understandings of some basic technical concepts in the process monitoring and fault diagnosis field.
