About the ADAPT

ADAPT ADAPT is an abriviation for Advanced Diagnostics and Prognostics Testbed. ADAPT is a facility desiged by NASA for testing diagnostic tools and algorithms against a standardized testbed. The facilities hardware consists of an electrical power system with components for power generation, storage and distribution. Over a hundred sensors reports the status of the the system.

The testbed provides a controlled environment to inject faults, either through software or hardware in a controlled manner. It also provides an API for integration of diagnositic technologies. Our task is to develop a diagnostic algorithm for detecting injected faults that is integrated and working with the ADAPT and its API. There is also a simplified version of ADAPT, called ADAPT-lite exists and provides an scaled down system than the full ADAPT. The ADAPT API is also called DxC, as it was first used at the DCC'09 competition.ADAPT was developed by NASA Ames Research Center, PARC (Palo Alto Resarch Center) and Delft.
