Abstract: The control charts with the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) approach and its extension are among the data-driven methods for process monitoring and the detection of faults. Industrial processing data involves complexities such as high dimensionality, auto-correlation, and non-stationary which may occur simultaneously. An efficient fault detection technique is an approach that is robust against data training, sensitive to all the feasible faults of the process, and agile to the detection of the faults. To date, approaches such as the recursive PCA (RPCA) model and the moving-window PCA (MWPCA) model have been proposed when data is high-dimensional and non-stationary or dynamic PCA (DPCA) model and its extension have been suggested for autocorrelation data. But, using the techniques listed without considering all aspects of the process data increases fault detection indicators such as false alarm rate (FAR), delay time detection (DTD), and confuses the operator or causes adverse consequences. A new PCA monitoring method is proposed in this study, which can simultaneously reduce the impact of high-dimensionality, non-stationary, and autocorrelation properties. This technique utilizes DPCA property to decrease the effect of autocorrelation and adaptive behavior of MWPCA to control non-stationary characteristics. The proposed approach has been tested on the Tennessee Eastman Process (TEP). The findings suggest that the proposed approach is capable of detecting various forms of faults and comparing attempts to improve the detection of fault indicators with other approaches. The empirical application of the proposed approach has been implemented on a turbine exit temperature (TET). The results demonstrate that the proposed approach has detected a real fault successfully.
