- Abstract
This paper considers the problem of generator maintenance scheduling (GMS) in power systems. The applications of computer-based modern heuristic solutions, namely simulated annealing (SA) and genetic algorithm (GA), are proposed in order to overcome some of the limitations of conventional solution methods. A test problem is formulated as an integer programming problem using a reliability-based objective function and typical problem constraints. The implementation and performance of the solution techniques are discussed. The results obtained demonstrate that these techniques are effective methods for solving GMS problems.
