Abstract

A system and method are provided for operating a power generating asset. Accordingly, a plurality of operational data sets are received by a controller. The operational data sets include at least one indication of a performance anomaly. A plurality of predictive models are implemented by the controller to determine a plurality of potential root causes of the performance anomaly and a plurality of corresponding probabilities for each of the potential root causes. A consolidation model is generated for classifying the plurality of potential root causes and corresponding probabilities. The consolidation model is trained via a training data set to correlate the plurality of potential root causes to an actual root cause for the performance anomaly. The consolidation model is implemented by the controller to determine the actual root cause of the performance anomaly based on the plurality of potential root causes and corresponding probabilities.
