Abstract

This paper shows the integration process of a case based reasoning expert system into a real-time information system for supervision and diagnosis of the operative conditions for the main equipment in a fossil power plant (thermal power station). The stages of analysis, development, integration and tests are described. Settles down the architecture used to integrate an expert system that based on behavior indicators (calculated in real-time), is able to identify low performance situations in the main processes equipment in a fossil power plant, as well as to emit a diagnosis of the current state for the equipment and the recommendations for maintenance.
