Maintenance costs in deregulated power systems play an important
role. This mainly includes direct costs associated with material and
labor costs; and indirect costs associated with spare parts inventory,
shipment, test equipment cost, indirect labor, and opportunity costs.
The cost function is used as the sole or main component of the
objective function in maintenance scheduling and planning
activities. The cost has been modeled in literature with several
representations for centralized power systems. With deregulation of
power industries in many countries the costs representation to be
used within the maintenance model in the decentralized power
systems has become an important research question. This paper
presents modeling of different components of maintenance costs that
can be used within the main objective function of the maintenance
scheduling and planning problem for the deregulated environment.
