STEP FORM DETECTION: A COMPARISON OF CURVE FITTING TECHNIQUES

H. Jokinen, H. Ihalainen, M. Moisio
Abstract:
Controlling of process flow is problematic if the valves do not behave ideally. The non-ideal behaviour of a valve causes the valve position to differ from the action given by the control system, which produces discontinuities in the process flow. This is shown as stick-slip steps in the measurement signals. A curve fitting technique is used in step form detection. In this paper we compare this curve fitting technique to well-known Haar wavelet method and present their ability in reliable step form detection.
