DETECTION AND USE OF ANOMALIES IN AN INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract:

A method for predicting variables of interest related to a system includes collecting one or more sensor streams over a time period from sensors in the system and generating one or more anomaly streams for the time period based on the sensor streams. Values for variables of interest for the time period are determined based on the sensor streams and the anomaly streams. Next, a time-series predictive algorithm is applied to the (i) the sensor streams, (ii) the anomaly streams, and (iii) the values for the variables of interest to generate a model for predicting new values for the variables of interest. The model may then be used to predict values for the variables of interest at a time within a new time period based on one or more new sensor streams.
