(NEPTUNE 2) Dashboard Maintenance and Tactical Decision Aid
Abstract
ABSTRACT: This work continues from our demonstrations conducted during our NEPTUNE project. We propose to extendour work to create and demonstrate a prototype of a Dashboard Maintenance and Tactical Decision Aid, orDMTDA. We have demonstrated that the power distribution network on a warship can be pressed into dualuseservice, providing not only power distribution but also an energy-scorekeeping and diagnostic monitoringcapability based on observations of the way in which loads draw power from the distribution service. Thispower system diagnostic monitor would use existing power wiring to monitor loads. It would be thereforelightweight, cheap to install, and highly reliable, as it would use a very limited set of sensors to monitor a largecollection of loads. We call this approach "nonintrusive" load monitoring (NILM), and we proposed to developthe NILM as a tactical decision and maintenance aid employing results we have learned from our NEPTUNEwork using an H4D analysis procedure. Specifically, we propose to further demonstrate this technologydevelopment as part of a multi-phase statement of work: Application of H4D and MMC for research relevant to USN and USCG Warfighters. Development and demonstration of a new prototype power monitor hardware capable of providing a"single box" installation of a full power monitor with "Dashboard" crew readout, with a planned fieldinstallation test on at least one USCG Cutter during the first 18 months of the proposed performanceperiod. Continued test and demonstration of a NILM Dashboard, a prototype software approach forproviding live updates and automatic logging of ship operation as observed from the power system,assisting the crew in completing tedious tasks quickly and more accurately. Development and demonstration of new techniques for fault detection and diagnostics tailored towarship systems. Field study to demonstrate data collection and analysis on a USN/USCG ship or other ship of interestto the sponsor. Our goal is two-fold: Identify energy conservation opportunities and also identifyopportunities for developing nonintrusive metrics for condition based maintenance of critical systems.
