In this paper, a new approach for preventive maintenance of generating units in a competitive market environment is proposed. The objective of the generator maintenance scheduling (GMS) problem is to find the precise time interval for maintenance of power generating units with an objective criterion of maximizing the profit of individual generation companies (GenCo’s) present in an electricity ...

Preventive maintenance (PM) is a program with activities created at determined interval or according to certain principles, designed reduce the likelihood of failure deterioration item performance. This aims improve overall reliability and system availability. In this research, preventive schedule (PMS) was for electricity desalination water in power plants, subject meeting relevant constraints...

The generator maintenance scheduling (GMS) problem is a high-dimensional complex constrained non linear optimization problem that determines the schedule for carrying out planned preventive maintenance on generating units in a power system. Here, GMS is modelled from the perspective of vertically integrated utility system subject to different set of system and operational constraints. Over the ...

in this paper, we consider a flow shop scheduling problem with availability constraints (fsspac) for the objective of minimizing the makespan. in such a problem, machines are not continuously available for processing jobs due to preventive maintenance activities. we proposed a mixed-integer linear programming (milp) model for this problem which can generate non-permutation schedules. furthermor...
