Abstract
Diagnosis is the identification of what is wrong with something that is not working properly. The main question that any diagnosis methodology must answer to, when applied to the design or operation of an energy system can be formulated as follows:Where, how and which part of the consumed resources can be saved by keeping the quantity and specifications of the final product constant
