Application of artificial intelligence methods for supporting the control monitoring of thermal power plants
Abstract
The present thesis introduces a methodology for the design and development of a supporting system for control monitoring of Thermal Power Plants (TPP), having as final objective the improvement of its performance. The thesis proposes the combined application of three research areas: Knowledge Engineering, Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) and Intelligent Agents. The basic principles that were adopted and their adaptation to the needs of industrial systems are analyzed thoroughly. For the methodical capture of the domain knowledge (exploitation of the personnel’s implicit knowledge) and the proper specifications writing, a KE approach, CommonKADS, was applied. It resulted, among others, to a rule base for identifying false sensor measurements. The rules were applied both for cleaning the historical data that was used for the Data Mining (DM) and for the on-line validation of the sensor measurements. For deriving models, the KDD procedure was applied to historical TPP operation data ...
