Abstract

Concerning industrial automation, the management of abnormal situations becomes more important everyday. The ability to detect, isolate, and handle abnormal situations in industrial installations, could save huge amounts of money which is normally invested in reparations and/or wasted because of unjustified stoppage of processing plants. In this work, a system for the management of abnormal situations in an artificially gas-lifted well based on agents Abnormal Situations Management System (ASMS) is developed, which is part of the architecture of the industrial automation based on multi-agents systems (SADIA) proposed in Bravo, Aguilar, and Rivas (2004). This agent is based on the intelligent distributed control system based on agents (IDCSBA) reference model proposed in Aguilar, Cerrada, Mousalli, Rivas, and Hidrobo (2005). The MASINA methodology (Aguilar, Hidrobo, and Cerrada 2007) is used in matters of analysis, design, and implementation.
