    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to systems and methods to evaluate performance of a fluid transport system. Towards this end, a performance report of the fluid transport system can be generated by estimating various performance parameters at an outlet of a heat exchanger in lieu of using sensor data obtained directly from the outlet of the heat exchanger. Specifically, in one exemplary implementation, sensor data is obtained from an inlet of the heat exchanger and an outlet of a downstream element that is coupled to the heat exchanger, for estimating the various performance parameters at the outlet of the heat exchanger. The estimated performance parameters can then be combined with empirical data and predictive data for generating the performance report of the fluid transport system.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure can relate to providing an integrated power plant advisor. In one embodiment, a method for providing an integrated power plant advisor can include receiving a signal associated with a failure of a power plant or a power plant component. The method can further include determining one or more root causes associated with the failure of the power plant or the power plant component. Based at least in part on operational data and training data from one or more power plants, a ranking of the one or more root causes associated with the failure of the power plant or the power plant component can be determined. The method can further include outputting the ranking via a client device. Based at least in part on the ranking, a repair or replacement strategy for the power plant or the power plant component can be identified.
