FUZZY MODEL OF THE OPERATIONAL POTENTIAL CONSUMPTION PROCESS OF A COMPLEX TECHNICAL SYSTEM.

During the operation process of a system its technical state is changed. The changes take place because of the wearing factors impact. The impact depends on the flow and intensity of the operation process what is characterized by the time histories of the working parameters. Simultaneously, the changes of the technical state are correlated with the changes of the amount of the operational potential included in a system. In order to avoid the inability state occurrence the amount of this potential should be higher than the boundary value. The amount of the operational potential included in a system is determined by the values of the cardinal features of it but in the case of the real technical system the values cannot always be measured. Therefore, the amount of the operational potential and the technical state of the system cannot always be determined online. To solve this problem the model of the operational potential consumption process was created and presented in the paper. The model uses artificial intelligence techniques to calculate the change of the operational potential amount by determining the changes of the cardinal features of the system on the basis of the time histories of the working parameters. The verification of the model quality was performed using the pulverized boiler OP-650k-040 operating in the power plant. The description of the conducted research and the results of the verification were presented in the end of the paper proving the adequacy of the model implementation in the case of industrial objects.
