Claim 10:
11. A method, comprising:
determining, by a system, configuration information associated with a power system for a work site that includes one or more power sources;
determining, by the system, respective operation parameters of the one or more power sources;
determining, by the system, one or more performance criteria associated with the power system;
determining, by the system, a baseline operation plan for the power system;
identifying, by the system, a first optimization analysis technique and a second optimization analysis technique for generating an optimized operation plan for the power system;
processing, by the system and based on a first weight factor for the first optimization analysis technique and a second weight factor for the second 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,
wherein the second weight factor is different from the first weight factor,
wherein the first weight factor and the second weight factor indicate a first percentage of weight the first optimization analysis technique should be given and a second percentage of weight the second optimization analysis technique should be given for generating the optimized operation plan for the power system,
wherein the first optimization analysis technique comprises at least one of:
a power system maintenance optimization analysis technique,
a power system performance optimization analysis technique, or
a power system emissions optimization analysis technique, and

wherein the second optimization analysis technique is different from the first optimization analysis technique; and

causing, by the system and 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.
