چکیده
Title of Document: ELECTRONIC PROGNOSTICS AND HEALTH MANAGEMENT: A RETURN ON INVESTMENT ANALYSIS Kiri Feldman, Master of Science, 2008 Directed By: Dr. Peter Sandborn, Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) provides the potential to lower sustainment costs, to improve maintenance decision-making, and to provide product usage feedback into the product design and validation process. A case analysis was developed using a discrete event simulation to determine the benefits and the potential cost avoidance resulting from the use of PHM in avionics. The model allows for variability in implementation costs, operational profile, false alarms, random failure rates, and system composition to enable a comprehensive calculation of the Return on Investment (ROI) in support of acquisition decision making. The case analysis compared the life cycle costs using unscheduled maintenance to the life cycle costs using two types of PHM approaches.

متن کاملGuaranteeing high availability of wind turbines
Modern wind turbines are relatively “immature” in the sense that they have not been fielded for a sufficient amount of time to assess their long-term viability. Availability, the ability of a system to function when it is required, is a major concern for alternative energy systems. Profits and environmental benefits will be lost if the costs and energy required to maintain a system outweigh the...
متن کاملA Framework for Model-Based Diagnostics and Prognostics of Switched-Mode Power Supplies
With electrical power supplies playing an important role in the operation of aircraft systems and sub-systems, flight and ground crews need health state awareness and prediction tools that accurately diagnose faults, predict failures, and project remaining life of these onboard power supplies. Among onboard power supplies, switch-mode power supplies are commonly used where their weight, size, a...
