Abstract
This paper discusses the monitoring of dynamic process. In recent years, Kernel Principal component analysis (KPCA) has gained significant attention as a monitoring method of nonlinear systems. However, the fixed KPCA model limit its application for dynamic systems. For this purpose a new Variable Moving Window Kernel PCA (VMWKPCA) method is introduced to update the KPCA model. The basic idea of this technique is to vary the size of the moving window depending on the normal change of the process. Then the VMWKPCA method is performed for monitoring a Chemical reactor (CSTR). The simulation results proved that the new method is effective.
