A review of maintenance scheduling approaches in deregulated power systems

Traditionally, the electricity industry is fully
regulated with a centrally controlled structure. The power
system operator has full technical and costing information as well
as a full control over the operation and maintenance of power
system equipment. Recently, many countries have gone through
privatization of their electricity industries unbundling the
integrated power system into a number of separate deregulated
business entities. The preventive maintenance of power system
equipment in the restructured electricity industries is no longer
controlled centrally, and none of these entities currently have
explicit accountability for maintenance activities. The
approaches used to schedule the maintenance activities in the
centralized system are not ideal for addressing the new
deregulated environments. In recent years a few research
publications has been reported in this area. This paper presents a
review and analysis of these reported maintenance scheduling
approaches for power system equipment in the changed
environment.
