The fundamental concern of Maintenance Scheduling (MS) is to reduce the generator failures and extend the generator’s lifespan thereby increasing the system reliability. The objective function of MS problem is to reduce the LOLP and minimizing the annual supply reserve ratio deviation for a power system which are considered as a measure of power system reliability. The typical Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is designed for continuous function optimization problems, and not for discrete function optimization problems. The MS problem has discrete decision variables. Hence, the Improved Binary PSO (BPSO) is utilized to solve the MS problem. Furthermore, Improved BPSO (IBPSO) based and levelized reserve rate methods are developed to solve the MS problem. In order to test the effectiveness of the IBPSO based MS method IEEE Reliability Test System (RTS) case study is considered
A comparison is made between the MS results obtained from the levelized reserve and the levelized risk methods. Consequently, the comparison reveals that the levelized risk method is obviously superior to the levelized reserve rate method which is deterministic methods neglect the influence of the generating unit’s random outages.
The IBPSO generates optimal MS solution and overcomes the limitation of the conventional methods such as extensive computational effort which increases significantly as the size of the problem increases. The proposed method yields better result by means of improved search performance and better convergence characteristics which are compared to the other optimization methods and conventional method.
