1. A power management system, comprising:

  • an engine diagnostics module configured to receive engine data from an engine and to generate first health indicators based on the engine data using a thermodynamic model, the thermodynamic model being based on component maps associated with the engine, wherein the engine diagnostics module is further configured to generate scalars based on the thermodynamic model and wherein the engine diagnostics module is further configured to adjust thermodynamic equations of the thermodynamic model based on the scalars;

    a data fusion unit coupled to the engine diagnostics module and configured to receive the first health indicators from the engine diagnostics module and second health indicators from a power assurance module, the data fusion unit configured to data fuse the first and second health indicators;

    a power assessment and decision support unit coupled to the data fusion unit and configured to calculate power available based on the fused first and second health indicators;

    a system diagnostic reasoner unit coupled to the data fusion unit, and configured to provide a system level fault diagnosis based on the fused first and second health indicators, wherein the system level fault diagnosis further includes power assurance numbers; and

    a graphical user interface coupled to the power assessment and decision support unit and the system diagnostic reasoned unit, the graphical user interface configured to display the system level fault diagnosis and the power available.
