An electronic control module (ECM) on-board a machine executes a reduced-order model configured to generate virtual sensor data associated with a machine component based on sensor data measured by actual sensors. The ECM can also execute a machine learning model configured to generate offset data for the sensor data and/or the virtual sensor data, based on operating conditions, an age of the machine component, and/or other factors that the reduced-order model may not consider. The sensor data and/or the virtual sensor data, adjusted based on the offset data, can indicate whether the machine component has failed or is predicted to fail at a future point in time, and/or a remaining usable life of the machine component.

A system may determine configuration information associated with a power system for a work site that includes one or more power sources. The system may determine respective operation parameters of the one or more power sources and one or more performance criteria associated with the power system. The system may determine a baseline operation plan for the power system. The system may identify an optimization analysis technique and may process, using the optimization analysis technique, the configuration information associated with the power system, the respective operation parameters of the one or more power sources, and the one or more performance criteria associated with the power system to generate the optimized operation plan for the power system. The system may cause, based on the baseline operation plan for the power system and the optimized operation plan for the power system, one or more actions to be performed.
