Abstract
The invention relates to a process diagnosis system and a method for the diagnosis of processes and states in a technical process, in particular for the diagnosis of a power station process. The invention is a structured multi-agent system which corresponds to the process and has a plurality of autonomous diagnostic agents. The diagnostic agents in each case contain a neural network, with whose aid a reference behavior of process components that are to be monitored can be learned. In addition, automatic adaptation to a new reference behavior is also possible by the diagnostic agents.
