Full-Life-Cycle Health Management and Simulation of Power Units (Smart Energy Systems)

This book presents a comprehensive framework for reliability modeling, health assessment, and life-cycle cost analysis of integrated power systems operating under complex mission profiles.Drawing on methods from reliability engineering, systems engineering, and probabilistic modeling, it introduces a rich set of analytical tools-including grey relational analysis, evidence theory, Monte Carlo simulation, fault tree analysis, Wiener-process-based degradation modeling, GO methodology, and Bayesian fusion-to characterize equipment health states, mission reliability, and long-term maintenance costs.These methods are illustrated with detailed diagrams, simulation workflows, and practical case studies, offering readers both theoretical clarity and operational relevance. A distinctive feature of the book is its emphasis on linking mission scenarios with component-level degradation mechanisms, enabling realistic prediction of system availability and mission success rates.The integration of mul
