This work concerns the issue of quality-related fault detection and diagnosis (QrFDD) for nonlinear process monitoring. A kernel principal component analysis (KPCA)-based canonical correlation analysis (CCA) model is proposed in this article. First, KPCA is utilized to extract the kernel principal components (KPCs) of original variables data to eliminate nonlinear coupling among the variables. Then, the KPCs and output are used for CCA modeling, which not only avoids the complex decomposition of kernel CCA but also maintains high interpretability. Afterwards, under the premise of Gaussian kernel, a proportional relationship between process variables sample and kernel sample is introduced, on the basis of which, the linear regression model between process and quality variables is established. Based on the coefficient matrix of the regression model, a nonlinear QrFDD method is finally implemented which has both the data processing capability of nonlinear methods and the form of linear methods. Therefore, it significantly outperforms existing kernel-based CCA methods in terms of algorithmic complexity and interpretability, which is demonstrated by the simulation results of the Tennessee Eastman chemical process.
