The author proposes the architecture of a knowledge base, which integrates HAZOP analysis and fault diagnosis, and provides the conditions for constructing the knowledge-based expert system. The author also presents a method of knowledge representation for on-line HAZOP analysis and on-line fault diagnosis is presented based on the technology of Petri net with fuzzy colors, which establishes a technological fundamental for integrating the automatic HAZOP analysis and fault diagnosis.展开更多

The SDG is modeled for the inversion of synthetic ammonia, which is highly dangerous in process industry, and HAZOP and fault diagnosis based on the SDG model are presented. A new reasoning method, whereby inverse inference is combined with forward inference, is presented to implement SDG fault diagnosis based on a breadth-first algorithm with consistency rules. Compared with conventional inference engines, this new method can better avoid qualitative spuriousness and combination explosion, and can deal with unobservable nodes in SDGs more effectively. Experimental results show the validity and advantages of the new SDG method.展开更多
