Case Studies: Prognostics and Health Management (PHM)

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Engineering Design under Uncertainty and Health Prognostics

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Reliability Engineering ((RELIABILITY))

Abstract

Prognostics and health management (PHM) technology has been successfully implemented into engineering practice in diverse settings. This chapter presents case studies that explain successful PHM practices in several engineering applications: (1) steam turbine rotors, (2) wind turbine gearboxes, (3) the core and windings in power transformers, (4) power generator stator windings, (5) lithium-ion batteries, (6) fuel cells, and (7) water pipelines. These examples provide useful findings about the four core functions of PHM technology, contemporary technology trends, and industrial values.
