US 12,596,912 B2 · Systems and methods for use in operations and maintenance systems for controlling the operation of second system

Abstract

Disclosed are systems and methods for operations and maintenance (O&M) systems for controlling the operation of a second system, wherein the second system includes a plurality of objects (i.e., components and/or subsystems). The O&M system comprises means for evaluating at least one of the plurality of objects using a first model to produce a first prediction of a characteristic of the object; evaluating at least one of the plurality of objects using a second model to produce a second prediction of the characteristic of the object, the second model being dissimilar to the first model; generating a final prediction of the characteristic of the object as a function of dynamic weightings of the first prediction and the second prediction; and, executing an operational or maintenance decision with respect to the second system as a function of the final prediction of the characteristic of the at least one of the plurality of objects.

Dependent claims

A method in an operations and maintenance (O&M) system for controlling an operation of a second system, wherein said second system comprises a plurality of objects, comprising:

evaluating at least one of said plurality of objects at a first time using a first model to produce a first prediction of a characteristic of said at least one of said plurality of objects;
evaluating said at least one of said plurality of objects at said first time using a second model to produce a second prediction of said characteristic of said at least one of said plurality of objects, said second model being dissimilar to said first model;
generating a final prediction of said characteristic of said at least one of said plurality of objects as a function of dynamic weightings of said first prediction and said second prediction;
and
executing an operational or maintenance decision with respect to said second system as a function of said final prediction of said characteristic of said at least one of said plurality of objects to avoid a failure of said at least one of said plurality of objects.

An operations and maintenance (O&M) system for controlling an operation of a second system, wherein said second system comprises a plurality of objects, said O&M system being operable on a processor and memory, configured to:

evaluate at least one of said plurality of said objects at a first time using a first model to produce a first prediction of a characteristic of said at least one of said plurality of objects;
evaluate said at least one of said plurality of objects at said first time using a second model to produce a second prediction of said characteristic of said at least one of said plurality of objects, said second model being dissimilar to said first model;
generate a final prediction of said characteristic of said at least one of said plurality of objects as a function of dynamic weightings of said first prediction and said second prediction;
and
execute an operational or maintenance decision with respect to said second system as a function of said final prediction of said characteristic of said at least one of said plurality of objects to avoid a failure of said at least one of said plurality of objects.
