Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng):Process disturbances always spread along the connected equipment in a plant and are detected in many places.
In order to identify the root disturbance, many data-based fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) methods have been developed in recent years.
However, most of these methods can generate spurious solutions.
Several authors have observed that FDD methods are enhanced if topology information about the causal relationships of a process is considered as well.
Generally, this topology information is manually created by using the process knowledge.
However, such a way is always time-consuming and the result is imprecise.
Hence, there is a requirement for an automated generation of effective topology-based causal models.

This thesis developed a thorough approach to implement two types of causal models, i.e., a connectivity matrix and a causal digraph, based on piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs).
As the core development tools, AutoCAD P&ID and object-oriented programming (OOP) of MATLAB were used.
The development included three procedures: generate topology data, define the class for generating causal models, and obtain the causal models by instantiating the class with the topology data.

In conclusion, it appears that both the connectivity matrix and causal digraph manifest the internal relationship between different process components caused by material flows and signal flows in a clear way.
Therefore, these models can play an important role in the research associated with the FDD methods.
