  • Publication number: 20220083040
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to generate a predictive asset health quantifier of a turbine engine. An example apparatus includes a performance model analyzer to determine a fleet behavior parameter by generating a reference performance model using historical information for a fleet of operators using turbine engines, generate a residual performance model based on calculating a difference between the fleet behavior parameter and a plurality of operator behavior parameters, identify an operator as a candidate improvement target based on comparing the operator behavior parameters corresponding to the operator to the fleet in the residual performance model, and determine an adjusted operator behavior parameter for the candidate improvement target.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20190279132
    Abstract: An analytics core and/or an analytics core associated with aggregation are presented. For example, a system includes a monitoring component, a catalog component, a model suite component, and a model processing/learning component. The monitoring component monitor and analyzed data associated with one or more assets. The catalog component manages analytics associated with the one or more assets, where the catalog component manages a set of models for the one or more assets. The model suite component selects a subset of models from the set of models. The model processing/learning component process the subset of models and performs learning associated with the subset of models to predict a health state for the one or more assets.
