Distribution network maintenance planning

This invention describes a computer system that helps maintain large-scale infrastructure by gathering diverse data about its components. It uses advanced statistical and optimization programs to calculate a "health score" for each part. Based on these scores, it creates and compares different maintenance plans, then selects the best one to keep the infrastructure running smoothly.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of advanced machine learning for unstructured data and scalable cloud computing, which now make processing diverse data for predictive maintenance more powerful and accessible. Modern AI models can significantly enhance the accuracy of health indices and optimization of maintenance plans.
