Deep learning provides new ideas for chemical process
fault diagnosis,
reducing potential risks and ensuring safe process operation in recent
years. To address the problem that existing methods have difficulty
extracting the dynamic fault features of a chemical process, a fusion
model (CS-IMLSTM) based on a convolutional neural network (CNN), squeeze-and-excitation
(SE) attention mechanism, and improved long short-term memory network
(IMLSTM) is developed for chemical process fault diagnosis in this
paper. First, an extended sliding window is utilized to transform
data into augmented dynamic data to enhance the dynamic features.
Second, the SE is utilized to optimize the key fault features of augmented
dynamic data extracted by CNN. Then, IMLSTM is used to balance fault
information and further mine the dynamic features of time series data.
Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method is verified in the
Tennessee-Eastman process (TEP). The average accuracies of this method
in two subdata sets of TEP are 98.29% and 97.74%, respectively. Compared
with the traditional CNN-LSTM model, the proposed method improves
the average accuracies by 5.18% and 2.10%, respectively. Experimental
results confirm that the method developed in this paper is suitable
for chemical process fault diagnosis.
