Working Group 4
Condition monitoring & diagnostics for operational systems in ocean environments
In WG4 the ambition is to combine smart sensing and data-based prognostics in reliable condition monitoring tool for systems during operation, applied to representative use cases with different characteristics.
Description of work: In line with WG1-WG3, collaboration will start from joint investigation of the state- of-the-art related to sensors and condition monitoring strategies (already applied in the considered context or with future application potential) (T4.1). Two areas for collaborations have been further identified: (i) sensor technology, e.g., looking for upcoming sensor technology in different contexts and assess replicability towards ocean systems (T4.2); and (ii) data processing and condition monitoring itself, particularly also looking at robustness of methodologies, data needs & availability, and extrapolation from numerical, experimental and operational data towards real-life conclusions (T4.3).
Tasks:
T4.1: Review of current sensors & condition monitoring tools;
T4.2: Aligning novel sensors with specific use case needs;
T4.3: Optimizing data-based prognostics for ocean systems.
