The effective maintenance scheduling of power system
generators is very important to a power utility for the
economical and reliable operation of a power system.
Many mathematical methods have been implemented for
generator maintenance scheduling (GMS). However,
these methods have many limitations and require many
approximations. Here a Genetic Algorithm is proposed
for GMS problems in order to overcome some of the
limitations of the conventional methods.
This paper formulates a general GMS problem using a
reliability criterion as an integer programming problem,
and demonstrates the use of GAs with three different
problem encodings: binary, binary for integer and
integer. The GA performances for each of these
representations are analysed and compared for a test
problem based on a practical power system scenario. The
effects of different GA parameters are also studied. The
results show that the integer GA is a very effective
method for GMS problems.
