Abstract: |
A method for predicting a time to failure of a component in a system is presented. The method comprises obtaining a set of data measurements related to the component. The set of data measurements are representative of a plurality of parameters including a plurality of leading parameters. The method comprises generating a prediction model based upon the leading parameters considered in combination. The prediction model is then used to predict the time to failure of the component based on a set of real-time measurements, wherein the plurality of parameters are processed to predict the time to failure for the component. Finally, a confidence level for the predicted time to failure is determined based upon the plurality of parameters.

1. A method for predicting a time to failure of a component in a system, the method comprising: obtaining a set of data measurements related to the component, wherein the set of data measurements are representative of a plurality of parameters, including a plurality of leading parameters; generating a prediction model based upon the leading parameters considered in combination, wherein generating the prediction model comprises processing the set of data measurements based on a set of rules related to the plurality of parameters and one or more failure modes related to the component; using the prediction model to predict the time to failure of the component based on a set of real-time data measurements, wherein the plurality of parameters are processed to predict the time to failure for the component; and determining a confidence level for the predicted time to failure based upon the plurality of parameters.
