Alarm Management - Silence is Golden

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project develops novel strategies and tools that aid alarm rationalisation in all types of process plants (e.g. gas, petrochemical, mining) by extracting groupings of related alarm tags from an enormous dataset of complex process data. These groupings are used in re-aligning the alarm systems, thus overcoming problems associated with the common practice of over-alarming, which may contribute to incidents like the Longford tragedy in Victoria. The approach is cost effective and improves alarm management. It addresses economic and safety concerns of the process industry as well as concerns raised in the study commissioned by the Institute of Engineers, Australia.
