Dashboard Maintenance and Tactical Decision Aid
Abstract
This work continues from our demonstrations conducted during our NEPTUNE project. We propose to extend our work to create and demonstrate a prototype of a Dashboard Maintenance and Tactical Decision Aid, or DMTDA. We have demonstrated that the power distribution network on a warship can be pressed into dualuse service, providing not only power distribution but also an energy-scorekeeping and diagnostic monitoring capability based on observations of the way in which loads draw power from the distribution service. This power system diagnostic monitor would use existing power wiring to monitor loads. It would be therefore lightweight, cheap to install, and highly reliable, as it would use a very limited set of sensors to monitor a large collection 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 NEPTUNE work using an H4D analysis procedure. Specifically, we propose to further demonstrate this technology development 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 field installation test on at least one USCG Cutter during the first 18 months of the proposed performance period. Continued test and demonstration of a NILM Dashboard, a prototype software approach for providing 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 to warship systems. Field study to demonstrate data collection and analysis on a USN/USCG ship or other ship of interest to the sponsor. Our goal is two-fold: Identify energy conservation opportunities and also identify opportunities for developing nonintrusive metrics for condition based maintenance of critical systems.
