I want to find the most promising sources of plant performance improvement
Alarm management emphasizes consistent design and targeted activation
of process alarms. Performance monitoring assesses the behavior
of control assets and their contribution to or hindrance of plant
performance.
Combining alarm and performance supervision data speeds diagnosis
of plant and operations troubles and helps identify opportunities
to improve alarm quality, control room clarity, and overall plant
performance.
Using Integrated Data
Continuous and Discrete Performance Assessment
Combining discrete event and continuous process data offers unique
insight into plant behavior and creates an opportunity to more accurately
identify the root-cause of performance issues and upsets.
Poor Control - No Alarms
If a data assessment finds that control configurations are not performing
as intended yet there are no alarm activations, it becomes clear
that adjustments are needed in both areas. You certainly want operators
to be aware when a unit is not behaving as expected and you also
want your control assets to be fully utilized.
High Alarm Rate - Good Control
This is a clear indication that the alarm system needs adjustment.
There is no need to trigger alarms when the unit is behaving as
expected.
High Alarm Rate - Bad Control
This scenario generally indicates poor control configuration.
While alarm settings may need adjustment you will not know until
basic control is working properly.
