CITRUS (Component Integrity and Technology Readiness Utilisation System) is an independent software, designed by MatAlytics Ltd (a newly established University of Nottingham spin-out), to fill the existing market gap of the capability to accurately monitor the structural "health" of in-service critical components, in real-time.This project will facilitate the translation of the current CITRUS prototype into a commercially professional version, and for industrial validation case studies and a pilot onsite deployment to be conducted. These activities will be conducted with committed project partners, Uniper and EDF.A project team comprising expertise in fundamental mechanical, material science and artificial intelligence has been assembled to conduct this project.Powerplants are the primary target market for the commercialisation of CITRUS and so within this context, CITRUS streams plant sensor data (temperatures and pressures) and combines several inventive implementation steps, in conjunction with artificial intelligence techniques, to convert this information into accumulated component damage and remaining life, in real-time, a previously unavailable capability. CITRUS therefore offers operators of critical engineering systems the ability to achieve an informed and optimised balance of component preservation and commercial benefit, for the first time. Other impacts that well be realised by powerplants that deploy CITRUS include increased system efficiency and therefore reduced fuel consumption and emissions, increased compliance to regulation and enhanced plant safety.The activities within this project, culminating in a pilot onsite deployment at a UK Uniper powerplant, will lead to the immediate first commercialisation of CITRUS, at the same plant. Several commercial growth routes have been established, including the proposed endorsement of EPRI across their global membership, once commercialisation has been achieved. Other commercial growth routes include expansion within the project partner plant portfolios and the development of additional sector versions of CITRUS, including formula-1, aerospace, metal processing and renewable energy.Wider benefits to bringing this innovation to market, via this project, include local and national economic enhancement through the establishment of a new business, and the associated taxes paid, and jobs created and contribution to the achievement of environmental and governmental targets.

Citrus(组件完整性和技术准备利用系统)是一个独立的软件，由MatAlytics有限公司(新成立的诺丁汉大学的一个分支)设计，以填补现有的市场空白，能够实时准确地监控正在使用的关键组件的结构“健康”。该项目将促进将当前的柑橘原型转换为商业专业版本，并进行工业验证案例研究和试点现场部署。这些活动将与承诺的项目合作伙伴Uniper和EDF一起进行。由基础机械、材料科学和人工智能方面的专业知识组成的项目组已经组建了一个项目。动力工厂是柑橘商业化的主要目标市场，因此在这种情况下，柑橘可以传输植物传感器数据(温度和压力)，并结合几个创造性的实施步骤，与人工智能技术相结合，将这些信息实时转换为累积的部件损坏和剩余寿命，这是以前无法获得的能力。因此，Citrus首次为关键工程系统的运营商提供了在部件保存和商业利益之间实现知情和优化平衡的能力。部署柑橘的发电厂可以很好地实现其他影响，包括提高系统效率，从而减少燃料消耗和排放，提高对法规的遵从性，以及增强植物安全性。该项目中的活动最终将在英国Uniper发电厂进行试点部署，将立即在同一工厂实现柑橘的第一次商业化。已经建立了几条商业增长路线，包括一旦实现商业化，拟议在其全球成员中认可EPRI。其他商业增长途径包括在项目合作伙伴工厂组合内扩大规模，以及开发更多的柑橘行业版本，包括配方-1、航空航天、金属加工和可再生能源。通过该项目将这一创新推向市场的广泛好处包括通过建立新企业促进地方和国家经济增长，以及支付的相关税收、创造的就业机会和对实现环境和政府目标的贡献。
