The simplicity, transparency, reliability, high efficiency and robust nature of PID controllers
are some of the reasons for their high popularity and acceptance for control in process …

This paper provides a state-of-the-art review of the methods and applications of data-driven
fault detection and diagnosis that have been developed over the last two decades. The …

This paper provides an overview and analysis of statistical process monitoring methods for
fault detection, identification and reconstruction. Several fault detection indices in the …

Proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controllers are the most adopted controllers in
industrial settings because of the advantageous cost/benefit ratio they are able to provide …

A review of the current status in control performance assessment (CPA) technology and
industrial applications is presented. Merits and drawbacks of each CPA method are …

A typical design procedure for model predictive control or control performance monitoring
consists of: identification of a parametric or nonparametric model; derivation of the output …

The series Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage technology transfer
in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology has an impact on all …

The presence of nonlinearities, eg, stiction, and deadband in a control valve limits the
control loop performance. Stiction is the most commonly found valve problem in the process …

Recently, slow feature analysis (SFA), a novel dimensionality reduction technique, has been
adopted for integrated monitoring of operating condition and process dynamics. By isolating …

Oscillations are common in closed-loop controlled processes which, once generated, can
propagate along process flows and feedback paths of the whole plant. It is important to …
