DOIAbstract
In this article, we present an extension to the observability analysis algorithm known as Direct Method (DM), which is an essential piece of a Decision Support System (DSS), whose purpose is to help engineers in the instrumentation design of industrial process plants. The main goal of this new version of DM algorithm is to improve the global performance of the DSS. The new variant, known as Extended Direct Method (EDM), incorporates a novel module that quantifies the degree of nonlinearity associated with the variables and equations of the mathematical model for the process plant. This new quantification procedure conforms a heuristic search, which guides the traditional DM towards a decomposition of the mathematical model in subsystems wit...
