Abstract

The proper handling of alarms is crucial to automated process control. In practice, many alarms are only distractive and do not represent a fault situation. Here a toolbox, that uses an expert system called LARA, is proposed that aims to reduce the occurrence of so-called nuisance alarms. It is based on a signal classification scheme to propose suitable alarm handling algorithms according to the signals behavior. In a first prototype, a significant reduction of the alarms in a biofueled District Heating Plant has been achieved
