These clusters are so far identified by data-driven approaches based on the historical alarm data. To improve the alarm analysis, especially the handling of alarm floods, additional information can be integrated into state of the art alarm analysis approaches. This additional information consists of plant and process information, which improves the identification and detection of alarm clusters. Information such as neighborly relations of alarm sources or the heat transmission between two not directly connected alarm sources, improve the identification of alarm clusters. The handling of unknown alarms, which occur during runtime, and the assignment to known alarms and additionally to identified alarm clusters can be supported by process and plant information as well. Based on the combination of alarm analysis approaches and the evaluation of process and plant information, it seems feasible to identify causal coherent alarms within alarm floods. This improvement supports the plant operator to handle the abnormal situation by a reduction of the occurring alarms and information about the causal relations between alarms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/auto-2018-0071","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,10]],"date-time":"2018-08-10T07:25:46Z","timestamp":1533885946000},"page":"647-655","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Improved alarm flood analysis by cluster identification and alarm assignment"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"66","author":[{"given":"Feras","family":"El Sakka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Helmut-Schmidt-Universit\u00e4t Hamburg , Institut f\u00fcr Automatisierungstechnik , Holstenhofweg 85, 22043 Hamburg , Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Henry","family":"Bloch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Helmut-Schmidt-Universit\u00e4t Hamburg , Institut f\u00fcr Automatisierungstechnik , Holstenhofweg 85, 22043 Hamburg , Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jakob","family":"Kinghorst","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technical University of Munich , Institute of Automation and Information Systems , Boltzmannstra\u00dfe 15, D-85748 Garching bei M\u00fcnchen , Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mina","family":"Fahimi Pirehgalin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technical University of Munich , Institute of Automation and Information Systems , Boltzmannstra\u00dfe 15, D-85748 Garching bei M\u00fcnchen , Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Fay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Helmut-Schmidt-Universit\u00e4t Hamburg , Institut f\u00fcr Automatisierungstechnik , Holstenhofweg 85, 22043 Hamburg , Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Birgit","family":"Vogel-Heuser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technical University of Munich , Institute of Automation and Information Systems , Boltzmannstra\u00dfe 15, D-85748 Garching bei M\u00fcnchen , Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023033109514382679_j_auto-2018-0071_ref_001_w2aab3b7b6b1b6b1ab1b6b1Aa","unstructured":"EEMUA, \u201cAlarm systems a guide to design, management and procurement,\u201d vol.\u20093, no.\u2009191, 2013."},{"key":"2023033109514382679_j_auto-2018-0071_ref_002_w2aab3b7b6b1b6b1ab1b6b2Aa","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"H.
