Abstract
Independent estimation of critical signals is required for use in consistency checking of instrument outputs and for isolating common-mode failures. When measurement redundancy is not available, this method can be used for monitoring sensor degradation or sensor drift by on-line prediction of the sensor output. A methodology is developed to characterize a given critical signal as a function of other related variables in a process by a nonlinear minimum-term model. This steady-state characterization is fully automated and implemented in a VAX workstation and is applied for sensor failure monitoring in a power plant.
