Abstract

Deep learning has been successfully applied in process monitoring in recent years due to its powerful feature extraction. However, these monitoring methods are difficult to extract intrinsic representations of the process data in complex nonlinear processes. A new deep neural network, residual attention convolutional autoencoder (RACAE) is proposed for process monitoring. The unsupervised learning method of RACAE can extract representative features from high-dimensional data, which can significantly improve process monitoring performance in nonlinear processes. RACAE effectively integrates convolution calculation with an autoencoder to perform effective feature extraction of multivariate data. Moreover, residual attention block is embedded in the autoencoder to select these key features and then reduce the feature dimension for detector. A new process monitoring model is proposed and two kinds of statistics are developed for fault detection. The effectiveness of RACAE in fault detection is evaluated through a numerical case and two benchmark processes. The convolutional autoencoder based on residual attention provides a new approach for feature learning and process monitoring of complex processes.
