A complete and open Simulink model of the Tennessee Eastman process (COSTEP)

Year: 2025

Type: software-paper

Abstract: The Tennessee Eastman process serves as a benchmark system for the evaluation of fault diagnosis techniques. Current simulator implementations are available in FORTRAN and in a C-mex S-function in MATLAB. The C-mex file is a conversion of the FORTRAN code to C for implementation in MATLAB. Both implementations have the limitation that not all the variables and parameters are directly accessible. Hence, a complete and open Tennessee Eastman process simulator was developed in Simulink to allow for total access to all parameters and variables and better Simulink integration. This implementation will give researchers more freedom towards the design of control and fault diagnosis techniques.
