In competitive electricity markets, maintenance schedule is submitted by generation companies (GENCOs) and transmission companies (TRANSCOs), and coordinated by Independent System Operator (ISO) with the adequacy criterion. This paper presents an alternative coordination procedure by ISO on the maintenance schedule. In this paper, it is focused on modeling a coordination algorithm by ISO for the maintenance schedule based on the Simulated Annealing algorithm. The proposed model employs the minimum information such as generator capacity, forced outage rate and generator maintenance schedules. The objective function of this model represents minimization of adjustment on schedules submitted by GENCOs.

The Maintenance scheduling is one of the mid-term scheduling problems systems. There have been many methods for this problem, but there is no effective way to treat all the generators simultaneously. In this paper, we apply a genetic algorithm(GA) to the maintenance scheduling problem. We proposed new crossover operators(BOX type crossover) to improve searching ability of GA. Satisfactory results are obtained by GA with the proposed corssover operators.

A new technique using integer programming based on fuzzy multi-criteria function is proposed for generator maintenance scheduling. Minimization of maintenance delay cost and maximization of supply reserve power are considered for fuzzy multi-criteria function To obtain an optimal solution for gen- ,:rator maintenance scheduling under fuzzy environment, fuzzy multi-criteria integer programming is )used. In the maintenance scheduling, a characteristic feature of the presented approach is that the crisp conaitraints with uncertainty can be taken into account by using fuzzy set theory and so more flexible solution Ian he obtained. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated by the simulation results.

Maintenance scheduling of generators plays an important role in evaluating supply reliability of power systems. Since generators must be maintained and inspected, the generation planner must schedule planned outages during the year. Several factors entering into this scheduling analysis include: seasonal load-demand profile, amount of maintenance, size of the units, elapsed time from last maintenance, and availability of maintenance crew. This paper proposes a new maintenance scheduling algorithm for the alternatives of long-term generation expansion planning by using LOLP levelization method which is known as an effective method for the generator's maintenance scheduling. To get the best supply reliability of power systems, we change the maintenance period to levelize the reliability over all period. The proposed algorithm is applied to a real size power system and the better reliability results are obtained.

The purpose of this paper is to establish a new optimum Generator Maintenance Scheduling(GMS) considering renewable energy generator. In this paper, the total renewable energy generation is estimated using hourly capacity factor of renewable energy generator. The GMS was optimized with the objective function of maximizing the minimum reserve rate, minimizing the probabilistic production cost, minimizing the loss of load expectation, and minimizing $CO_2$ emissions. In the case study of this paper, GMS considering renewable energy and GMS not considering renewable energy are shown by each objective function. And it shows scenarios of the reliability, the environmental and economical factors when two nuclear power plants inputted and ten coal thermal power plants shut downed respectively.

A new technique using search method based on fuzzy multi-criteria function is proposed fur flexible generator maintenance scheduling. Minimization of probabilistic production cost, maximization of system reliability level and air pollution are considered fur fuzzy multi-criteria function. To obtain an optimal solution for generator maintenance scheduling under fuzzy environment fuzzy multi-criteria relaxation method(fuzzy search method) is used. The practicality and effectiveness of the proposed approach are demonstrated by the simulation results of the real size model system of KEPCO-1997 SYSTEM.

Genetic Algorithm is a kind of an evolution programming based on natural evolution principle. It applied to probabilistic searching, machine learning and optimization, and many good results were reported. Generator maintenance scheduling is an optimization Problem with constraints. This paper applied a genetic algorithm to generator maintenance scheduling problem and tested on sample systems. The results are compared with heuristic method and branch-and-bound method.

This paper proposes establishment of generator maintenance scheduling(GMS) considering minimization of $CO_2$ emissions. The objective function model to minimize $CO_2$ emissions is used in this paper. In this paper, and also, GMS is established due to freedom of GMS of generators owned by a designated generation company. The practicality and effectiveness of the proposed approach are demonstrated by simulation studies for a real size power system model in Korea in 2010.

This paper presents development of program for generator maintenance scheduling. The maintenance scheduling of generating units is a dynamic discrete combinatorial optimization problem with constraints to determine the optimal maintenance periods of each generating units for a given planning periods. The developed program is designed so as to provide the maintenance schedule satisfying the operating reserve margin levelization and the procurement of proper reliability. In order to verify the effectiveness of the developed program, the numerical study has been performed with the practical data in 2005.
