Over past decades, kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) appeared quite popularly in data-driven process monitoring area. Enormous work has been done to show its simplicity, feasibility, and effectiveness. However, the introduction of kernel trick makes it impossible to directly employ traditional contribution plots for fault diagnosis. In this paper, on the basis of revisiting and analyzing the existing KPCA-relevant diagnosis approaches, a new contribution rate based method is proposed which can explain the faulty variables clearly. Furthermore, a scheme for online nonlinear diagnosis is established. In the end, a case study on continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) benchmark is applied to access the effectiveness of the new methodology, where the comparisons with the traditional linear method are involved as well.
