Syllabus
📅 Day 1 – Foundations & Data Enablement
- Assets & failure modes: transformers, breakers, relays, CT/PT, batteries
- Data sources: SCADA/DNP3/Modbus, IED logs, DGA, thermography, vibration, PQ, CMMS
- Data readiness: time sync, drift, missing data, weak labels; feature basics (load cycles, gas ratios, wear indices)
- Governance & safety: change control, sign-off
- Hands-on: Build a unified asset + time-series dataset and a baseline Asset Health Index
📅 Day 2 – Diagnostics, RUL & Risk
- Anomaly detection: adaptive baselines, one-class/autoencoder
- Condition diagnostics: DGA + ML, PD patterns, PQ correlation
- RUL modeling: survival/Weibull, gradient boosting hazards, Bayesian updates
- Explainability & calibration: SHAP, reliability, cost-sensitive metrics
- Hands-on: Train anomaly + RUL models; output risk tiers with calibrated thresholds and a short model card
📅 Day 3 – Deployment & Operations
- Edge→cloud pipeline: ingest, streaming features, serving, drift, rollback
- Human-on-the-loop: triage, suppression rules, escalation, UX
- CMMS/APM integration: alert → work order, spares, outage windows, SLA
- Cybersecurity/compliance; value tracking: avoided failures, MTBF/MTTR, ROI
- Hands-on: Package the pipeline and demo “alert → work order” on a lightweight dashboard
