Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and a method. In one embodiment, a system is provided. The system includes a risk calculation system configured to calculate a risk based on a static input and a dynamic input, and a decision support system configured to use the risk to derive a decision. The system also includes a plant control system configured to update operations of a plant based on the decision, wherein the decision predicts future plant conditions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A system comprising: a risk calculation system programmed to calculate a risk based on a static input and a dynamic input; and a decision support system programmed to use the risk to derive a decision; and a plant control system programmed to update operations of a plant based on the decision, to observe a plant system, and to store plant system observations as historical data, wherein the decision predicts future plant conditions, wherein the stat…
