Alarm root-cause analysis and alarm prioritization are good for alarm flood reduction. This paper proposes a systematic rationalization method for multivariate correlated alarms to realize the root cause analysis and alarm prioritization. An information fusion based interpretive structural model is constructed according to the data-driven partial correlation coefficient calculation and process knowledge modification. This hierarchical multi-layer model is helpful in abnormality propagation path identification and root-cause analysis. Revised Likert scale method is adopted to determine the alarm priority and reduce the blindness of alarm handling. As a case study, the Tennessee Eastman process is utilized to show the effectiveness and validity of proposed approach. Alarm system performance comparison shows that our rationalization methodology can reduce the alarm flood to some extent and improve the performance.展开更多

It is separated from the Yinggehai Basin through NW-trending Indo-China-Red River shear zone, and connected with NW subsea basin through the Xisha Trough. Along with the rapid progress of the deepwater exploration, large amounts of high resolution geophysical and geological data were accumulated. Scientific researches about deepwater basins kept revealing brand new tectonic and sedimentary discoveries. In order to summarize the structural features and main controlling factors of the deepwater Qiongdongnan Basin, a series of researches on basin architecture, fault activities, tectonic deformation and evolution were carried out. In reference to analogue modeling experiments, a tectonic situation and a basin formation mechanism were discussed. The researches indicate that：the northern boundary of the Qiongdongnan Basin is strongly controlled by No. 2 fault. The overlapping control of two stress fields from the east and the west made the central depression zone extremely thinned. Combined with the changed stress field, the segmentation of a preexisting weakness zone made the sags in the east experiencing different rifting histories from the west ones. The NE-trending west segment of the Qiongdongnan Basin experienced strong rifting during Eocene, while the roughly EW-trending sags in the east segment show strong rifting during late Eocene and early Oligocene. Local structures such as NW-trending basal fault and inherited uplifts controlled the lateral segmentation. So first order factors such as regional stress field and preexisting weakness zone controlled the basin zonation, while the second order factors determined the segmentation from east to west.展开更多

The results are then adjusted by experts. 20 categories of risk factors that are totally 49 factors were found. Based on the risk factors during the SAP Business One implementation, questionnaire was used to study the key risk factors of SAP Business One implementation. Results illustrate ten key risk factors, these are risk of senior managers leadership, risk of project management, risk of process improvement, risk of implementation team organization, risk of process analysis, risk of based data, risk of personnel coordination, risk of change management, risk of secondary development, and risk of data import. Focus on the key risks of SAP Business One implementation, the interpretative structural modeling approach is used to study the relationship between these factors and establish a seven-level hierarchical structure. The study illustrates that the structure is olive-like, in which the risk of data import is on the top, and the risk of senior managers is on the bottom. They are the most important risk factors.展开更多

文摘目的洪水是影响尾矿库安全的重要因素,明晰洪水对尾矿库的风险传导路径有利于帮助识别关键风险因素,优化防控措施。方法结合文献计量法和专家决策筛选出尾矿库洪水风险的重要影响指标,利用解释结构模型(interpretative structural modeling,ISM)对指标层次进行划分,最后基于事故树分析(fault tree analysis,FTA)解析灾害的演化路径,并提出相应预防措施。结果结果表明:(1)基于文献计量法总共筛选出24个尾矿库洪水风险影响因素,结合平均权重值与专家经验确定10个相对重要的尾矿库洪水风险影响因素;(2)基于ISM计算得出10个影响因素和洪水风险间的相互影响关系,确定尾矿库洪水灾害的直接、间接和最根本影响因素;(3)结合ISM和事故案例,建立尾矿库洪水灾害事故树,通过布尔代数运算得出18种致灾路径和9种预防事故的路径;(4)分析事故树的结构重要度后发现对尾矿库洪水风险影响最大的事件是排洪能力不足、洪峰流量大和初始浸润线埋深浅。结论提出的文献计量法、ISM与FTA相结合的方法不仅实现了客观指标筛选与系统建模的融合,而且为尾矿库防洪实现从“被动应对”向“主动阻断”的转变提供了理论支撑。
