A blog post on Medium gives an overview of the project and discusses the results.
Determine the benefits by implementing APC in a process plant.
Three key questions:
- Did the plant adopt APC?
- What are the process improvements relating to stability and throughput?
- Does APC improve energy performance?
- Process analysis notebook: Uses one minute process data used the determine APC utilisation and process improvements.
- Energy analysis notebooks: Uses daily data to build a regression model to predict expected energy consumption and compare with actual energy consumption.
- myLib: Custom package containing functions used for data analysis.
Dependencies and virtual environment details are located in the Pipfile which can be used with pipenv.
