Advancements in energy technologies created a new application for gas turbine generators, which are used to balance load. This usage also brought challenges maintenance because of harsh operating conditions that make turbines more susceptible random failures. At the same time, reliability requirements equipment high. Reliability-centered based on forecasting remaining useful life (RUL) equipmen...

The storage of natural gas in geological structures such as depleted fields, aquifers and salt caverns plays an important role a supply system it balances the fluctuation demand price. Hydraulic loss due to fluid flow through production equipment interfering effect from nonequal productivity index wells may have influence on performance. An integrated mathematical model is developed based under...

A method of on-line residual life prediction is proposed for condition based maintenance of industrial equipment. With on-line monitoring of condition of the industrial equipment, the residual life is evaluated by using on-line prediction of the equipment deterioration. The deterioration prediction is based on an on-line identification of the mathematical model of deterioration process. To impr...

This paper presents industrial experience with a resource-constrained batch process scheduling program. The batch process representation is loosely based on the ISA S88 batch process standard. This representation allows the import of batch process information from other software, e.g. batch process simulators. The scheduling algorithm is a non-optimization approach that proceeds in two steps. F...
