Harmony Search Algorithm Based 0-1 Integer Programming for Generation Maintenance Scheduling in Power Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a Harmony Search Algorithm to seek the optimal solution of the unit maintenance scheduling. For the maintenance scheduling, cost reduction is as important as reliability. The objective function of this algorithm considers the effect of economy as well as reliability. Various constraints such as spinning reserve, duration of maintenance crew are being taken into account. We apply the Harmony Search which is a music-inspired meta-heuristic algorithm on a power system with six generating units. We obtain one optimal solution. Numerical results reveal that the proposed algorithm can find better and faster solutions when compared to other heuristic or deterministic methods.
