Title: Importance measures for inspections in binary networks
Many infrastructure systems can be modeled as networks of components with binary states (intact, damaged). Information about components’ conditions is crucial for the maintenance process of the system. However, it is often impossible to collect information of all components due to budget constraints. Several metrics have been developed to assess the importance of the components in relation to maintenance actions: an important component is one that should receive high maintenance priority. Instead, in this paper we focus on the priority to be assigned for component inspections and information collection. We investigate metrics based on system level (global) and component level (local) decision making after inspection for networks with different topology, and compare these results with traditional ones. We then discuss the computational challenges of these metrics and provide possible approximation approaches.  more » « less

    We develop computable metrics to assign priorities for information collection on binary systems composed of binary components. Components are worth inspecting because their condition states are uncertain, and system functioning depends on them. The Value of Information (VoI) enables assessment of the impact of information in decision making under uncertainty, including the component’s reliability and role in the system, the precision of the observation, the available maintenance actions and the expected economic loss. We introduce the VoI-based metrics for system-level (“global”) and component-level (“local”) maintenance actions, analyze the properties of these metrics, and apply them to series and parallel systems. We discuss their computational complexity in applications to general network systems and, to tame the complexity for the local metric assessment, we present a heuristic and assess its performance on some case studies.

    Condition-based maintenance of multi-component systems is a prevalent engineering problem due to its effectiveness in reducing the operational and maintenance costs of the system. However, developing the exact optimal maintenance decisions for the large multi-component system is computationally challenging, even not feasible, due to the exponential growth in system state and action space size with the number of components in the system. To address the scalability issue in CBM of large multi-component systems, we propose a Component-Wise Markov Decision Process(CW-MDP) and an Adjusted Component-Wise Markov Decision Process (ACW-MDP) to obtain an approximation of the optimal system-level CBM decision policy for large systems with heterogeneous components. We propose using an extended single-component action space to model the impact of system-level setup cost on a component-level solution. The theoretical gap between the proposed approach and system-level optima is also derived. Additionally, theoretical convergence and the relationship between ACW-MDP and CW-MDP are derived. The study further shows extensive numerical studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of component-wise solutions for solving large multi-component systems.

    Optimal exploration of engineering systems can be guided by the principle of Value of Information (VoI), which accounts for the topological important of components, their reliability and the management costs. For series systems, in most cases higher inspection priority should be given to unreliable components. For redundant systems such as parallel systems, analysis of one-shot decision problems shows that higher inspection priority should be given to more reliable components. This paper investigates the optimal exploration of redundant systems in long-term decision making with sequential inspection and repairing. When the expected, cumulated, discounted cost is considered, it may become more efficient to give higher inspection priority to less reliable components, in order to preserve system redundancy. To investigate this problem, we develop a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) framework for sequential inspection and maintenance of redundant systems, where the VoI analysis is embedded in the optimal selection of exploratory actions. We investigate the use of alternative approximate POMDP solvers for parallel and more general systems, compare their computation complexities and performance, and show how the inspection priorities depend on the economic discount factor, the degradation rate, the inspection precision, and the repair cost.

    This article formulates risk-based component importance measures (RCIMs) to identify critical components for a bridge subjected to earthquakes. RCIM, unlike traditional reliability-based importance measures, is well suited for complex systems like bridges as it uses a flexible system failure definition using bridge level risk consequences or performance objectives. Contrasting traditional notions of risk and reliability related to structural system failures, the RCIMs embrace a broader definition of risk which includes consequences of system failure to society and the environment. System failure is defined as exceedance of a user-defined threshold of system risk (e.g. based on cost, emissions, embodied energy, or other metrics). Our definition of system failure using global performance metrics helps relating component to system reliability explicitly and offers an alternative perspective to aggregate joint failure events of bridge components into relevant damage states. RCIM combines information about the reliability of a component and its contribution to the system performance and hence the importance measures developed offer risk mitigation indicators for decision makers as to which components may require upgrade to achieve a given performance objective. The proposed RCIMs generalize existing importance measures through analytical exploration of the entire space of system configurations with correlated component failures, while also considering multiple risk-based criteria beyond reliability. These RCIMs, demonstrated through a seismic bridge system case study, further show that as the bridge components age and the hazard intensity varies, the relative contribution of the components to system risk also shifts.

    The paper introduces an optimal maintenance scheduler based on predictive assessment of risk of outage and equipment failure in distribution networks. The variety of severe weather conditions are observed and their impact on the network components is quantified. The equipment deterioration and failure rates are observed continuously across the space and time using heterogeneous data. The risk of weather-related outages for each component is generated in real-time, and can be extracted at multiple temporal and spatial scales depending on the application of interest. The optimal maintenance scheduling that minimizes the system risk while maintaining the economic investment limits is developed. The benefits of the framework are presented using a distribution network asset management example.
