Conceptual framework for an event-based plant alarm system
conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-23, 12:37 authored by Ahmed, S, Dalpatadu, P, Faisal KhanFaisal KhanAn event-based plant alarm system is proposed as an alternative to the current variable-based alarm system used in the process industry. While a traditional variablebased process alarm indicates an unsafe deviation of a process variable, an event alarm will be a direct indicator of an undesired event. A conceptual framework for the design of such an alarm processor is outlined in this article. A methodology for allocation of alarms based on the information content of variables is highlighted. The annunciation philosophy for event alarms is detailed, and alarm prioritization method and operator guidance are discussed. The method uses Bayesian network and Bayesian inference to estimate probability of an event and to identify its root causes.
