Optimal Maintenance Decision for Multiple Power Plants under Operational Constraints

Reliability Based Optimal Preventive Maintenance Policy for High Voltage Circuit Breakers in Power Plants

  Electric power industry have always try to provide reliable electricity to customers and at the same time decrease system costs. High Voltage circuit-breakers are an essential part of the power network. This study has developed a maintenance and replacement scheduling model for high voltage circuit- breakers that minimize maintenance costs while maintaining the acceptable reliability. This mo...

Optimal Preventive Maintenance under Decision Dependent Uncertainty

We analyze a system of N components with dependent failure times. The goal is to obtain the optimal block replacement interval (different for each component) over a finite horizon that minimizes the expected total maintenance cost. In addition, we allow each preventive maintenance action to change the future joint failure time distribution. We illustrate our methodology with an example from Sou...

Optimal distributed power generation under network load constraints

In electrical power networks nowadays more and more customers are becoming powerproducers, mainly because of the development of novel components for decentral power generation (solar panels, small wind turbines and heat pumps). This gives rise to the question how many units of each type (solar panel, small wind turbine or central heating power units) can be inserted into any transmission line i...
