Data reconciliation technology can decrease the level of corruption of process data due to measurement noise, but the presence of outliers caused by process peaks or unmeasured disturbances will smear the reconciled results. Based on the analysis of limitation of conventional outlier detection algorithms, a modified outlier detection method, in dynamic data reconciliation (DDR) is proposed in this paper. In the modified method, the outliers of each variable are distinguished individually and the weight is modified accordingly. Therefore, the modified method can use more information of normal data, and can efficiently decrease the effect of outliers. Simulation of a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) process verifies the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
