Application of exergy-based fault detection in a gas-to-liquids process plant
(MDPI, 2019)Fault detection and isolation (FDI) within the petrochemical industries (PCIs) is largely dominated by statistical techniques. Although a signal-based technique centered on exergy flows within a process plant was proposed, ... -
Energy based visualisation of a Brayton cycle power conversion unit for the purpose of condition monitoring
(North-West University, 2019)The efficient operation of industrial plants has been the subject of many studies, due to an increased awareness of greenhouse gas emissions and dwindling natural resources. Condition monitoring is key to the efficient ... -
Energy-based fault detection for an auto-thermal reformer
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)The effects of the so-called energy-crisis are being felt world-wide. Dwindling natural resources has seen an increase in research efforts to develop new energy efficient technologies, and to manage existing facilities ... -
Graph-based fault detection for a gas-to-liquids process: an exergy approach
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)As there are many safety and financial risks within modern process plants, process monitoring is said to be indispensable. Process monitoring aids operators in ensuring reliable and efficient operation of the plant. Fault ... -
The merits of exergy-based fault detection in petrochemical processes
(Elsevier, 2019)The complexity and multi-domain nature of petrochemical (PC) plants make the application of conventional model-based fault detection and isolation (FDI) techniques a challenging endeavour. Although hybrid FDI schemes aim ... -
Performance comparison of thermal energy storage oils for solar cookers during charging
(ScienceDirect, 2014)Charging experiments to evaluate the thermal performance of three thermal energy storage oils for solar cookers are presented. An experimental setup using an insulated 20 L storage tank is used to perform the experiments. ... -
