A data acquisition component acquires real-time data output from the monitored system. A power analytics server comprises a virtual system modeling engine, an analytics engine, and an adaptive prediction engine. The virtual system modeling engine is operable to generate predicted data output for the monitored system utilizing a virtual system model of the monitored system. An analytics engine is operable to update the virtual system model when a difference between the real-time data output and the predicted data output exceeds a threshold. The adaptive prediction engine is operable to forecast an aspect of the monitored system based on an adaptive neural network algorithm and automatically minimize a measure of error between the real-time data output and a corresponding forecasted data output by the adaptive prediction engine.
