An asset management framework for wind turbine blades considering reliability of monitoring system (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wu, W., Prescott, D., Remenyte-Prescott, R., Saleh, A., & Chiachio Ruano, M. (2023, September). An asset management framework for wind turbine blades considering reliability of monitoring system. Presented at 33rd European Safety and Reliability Conference (ESREL 2023), Southampton, UK

In this study, a wind turbine (WT) blade asset management (AM) Petri net (PN) model is presented, which incorporates risk-based maintenance and structural health monitoring (SHM). Firstly, PN modules cover the entirety of the blade AM process, descri... Read More about An asset management framework for wind turbine blades considering reliability of monitoring system.

Fault Tree to Petri Net Conversion for the Analysis of a Standby System (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Prescott, D. (2023, April). Fault Tree to Petri Net Conversion for the Analysis of a Standby System. Presented at 62nd ESReDA Seminar, University of Twente, the Netherlands

Although fault trees are widely used, their quantitative analysis is limited by the need for basic event independence. Dynamic and Dependent Tree Theory (D2T 2 ) has been proposed to overcome this limitation and requires dependent system fault tree e...

An information theoretic approach for knowledge representation using Petri nets (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chiachío, M., Chiachío, J., Prescott, D., & Andrews, J. (2016). An information theoretic approach for knowledge representation using Petri nets.

A new hybrid approach for Petri nets (PNs) is proposed in this paper by combining the PNs principles with the foundations of information theory for knowledge representation. The resulting PNs have been named Plausible Petri nets (PPNs) mainly because... Read More about An information theoretic approach for knowledge representation using Petri nets.

Modelling the effects of asset management decisions on a railway track section (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Prescott, D., & Andrews, J. D. (in press). Modelling the effects of asset management decisions on a railway track section. In Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Railway Technology: Research, Development and Maintenance. https://doi.org/10.4203/ccp.104.166

This paper reports on the development of a Markov model that uses real-world deterioration, inspection and maintenance data to assess railway track asset management. The model allows both asset management personnel and track maintenance engineers to... Read More about Modelling the effects of asset management decisions on a railway track section.

Identifying the factors influencing track degradation on the UK rail network
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Clarke, S., & Prescott, D. (2017). Identifying the factors influencing track degradation on the UK rail network.

As trains traverse track, the smoothness of its vertical geometry decreases. This degradation is linked to many interrelated factors, making it difficult to identify the primary causes. Through the use of multiple layer analysis, each factor was indi... Read More about Identifying the factors influencing track degradation on the UK rail network.

Improving the Modelling Capability of an Integrated Fault Detection and Diagnostic Petri Net Methodology for Dynamic Systems
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Badmus, T. A., Prescott, D., & Remenyte-Prescott, R. (2023, July). Improving the Modelling Capability of an Integrated Fault Detection and Diagnostic Petri Net Methodology for Dynamic Systems. Presented at 12th IMA International Conference on Modelling in Industrial Maintenance and Reliability (MIMAR), Nottingham, UK

The existing Generalised Stochastic Petri Net and modified Bayesian Stochastic Petri Net (GSPN-mBSPN) methodology has demonstrated improved modelling capabilities for fault diagnosis in dynamic systems with feedback control loops. However, the GSPN-m... Read More about Improving the Modelling Capability of an Integrated Fault Detection and Diagnostic Petri Net Methodology for Dynamic Systems.

Asset management modelling approach integrating structural health monitoring data for composite components of wind turbine blades
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wu, W., Saleh, A., Remenyte-Prescott, R., Prescott, D., Ruano, M. C., & Chronopoulos, D. (2022, August). Asset management modelling approach integrating structural health monitoring data for composite components of wind turbine blades. Presented at 32nd European Safety and Reliability Conference (ESREL 2022), Dublin, Ireland

Optimal asset management strategies for wind turbine blades help to reduce their operation and maintenance costs, and ensure their reliability and safety. Structural health monitoring (SHM) can determine the health state of wind turbine blades throug...

A general approach for evaluating SHM system reliability with sensor failures
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wu, W., Cantero-Chinchilla, S., Remenyte-Prescot, R., Prescott, D., Saleh, A., Chiachio Ruano, M., & Chronopoulos, D. (2023, July). A general approach for evaluating SHM system reliability with sensor failures. Presented at 12th IMA International Conference on Modelling in Industrial Maintenance and Reliability (MIMAR), Nottingham, UK

Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems involve implementing damage identification strategies to determine health states of structures. However, it is important to pay close attention to the degradation of the SHM itself, especially the effect of...
