Abstract

Failure control based on condition monitoring needs to be sustainable and well-structured, and to rely on procedures fulfilling international standards, in order to keep and improve solutions over time. Failure detection and prediction in networks of assets demands an even more sophisticated approach and a clear conceptual framework, to be able to consider individual assets degradation behaviours and corresponding integrated effects on the network. In these cases, logic of failure control has to manage not only reliability data but also operation and real time internal and locational variables. Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) approach easies the integrations of physical processes, network of assets and intelligent computation; CPS may enable co-operation among autonomous and distributed intelligence. Because of all these reasons this chapter sustains that failure detection and prediction in networks of assets can seriously benefit of CPS. However, CPS implementation needs a conceptual framework allowing the permanent development of current and new algorithms for advanced asset degradation and production forecasting. Multi-Agent System (MAS) architecture complies with these framework requirements from the scalability point of view, but in order to cope with these solutions adaptation to locational and operational changes, artificial neural networks (ANN) are developed in this chapter on top of the legacy supervisory control and data acquisition system, to implement an innovative failure detection and power generation forecasting method. The model and method is demonstrated in grid connected solar photovoltaic power plants.
