Abstract

Recent advances in sensing and computing technologies have resulted in an abundance of data in various formats and more processing power for using this data. Consequently, there has been an interest in using these advances to enhance modeling and assessment techniques for safety and reliability of a variety of systems. To date, this has occurred under two distinct aspects of reliability engineering. Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) has developed powerful new algorithms for understanding and predicting the mechanical and electrical devices' health. For complex systems, the techniques of Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA), which provide a system-level perspective, have become increasingly dynamic. Both PHM and PRA bring unique advantages and limitations. PHM excels at data handling and supports prediction, but the methods applicable at the component level are not suitable for modeling complex engineering systems (CES). PRA provides a comprehensive approach suitable for drawing together many types of data and assessing complex systems, but is limited in the ability to exploit advanced ML methods or enable prediction. In this paper, we explore how to systematically draw together the advances in PHM and PRA to provide a more forward-looking, model- and data-driven approach for assessing and predicting the risk and health of CES.

Constructing robust health indicators from complex engineered systems via anticausal learning

Georgios Koutroulis, Belgin Mutlu, Roman Kern

Summary: In prognostics and health management (PHM), constructing comprehensive health indicators (HI) from condition monitoring data is crucial for accurate remaining useful life (RUL) prediction and system degradation assessment. Existing methods often oversimplify the degradation law of machinery, which may not reflect the reality. To address these challenges, this research proposes an anticausal-based framework that predicts the cause from the effects of causal models, reducing model complexity. The framework outperforms existing deep learning architectures in predicting HIs, reducing the average root-mean-square error (RMSE) by nearly 65%.

Identifying human failure events (HFEs) for external hazard probabilistic risk assessment

Ahmad Al-Douri, Camille S. Levine, Katrina M. Groth

Summary: In recent years, advancements in nuclear power plant (NPP) probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) have been made, driven by increased understanding of external hazards, plant response, and uncertainties. However, major sources of uncertainty associated with external hazard PRA remain, particularly in the area of risk-significant human actions and human-plant interactions. This study evaluates the applicability of an existing cognitive-based HRA method, Phoenix, to ex-control room actions and identifies sources of uncertainty to make this method suitable for XHPRA.
