Abstract
A method for determining an optimal sensor set includes identifying a set of possible faults of a thermal hydraulic system and a set of diagnostic objectives. The method also includes obtaining descriptions of sensor sets, which includes: receiving a first description of a first sensor set, and generating, based on the first description, a second description of a second sensor set. The method further includes, for each sensor set: determining a diagnostic capability of the sensor set, and calculating a score of the particular sensor set based on the particular description and the diagnostic capability, wherein a score of a sensor set is increased by a monetary cost of the sensor set and decreased by the sensor set meeting a diagnostic objective. The method also includes identifying the optimal sensor set that has a lowest score of the sensor sets, and displaying an indication of the optimal sensor set.
