In the last two decades, the number of strategies for planning the maintenance of power
systems have increased considerably. As societal dependence on power system …

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have been widely used to search for optimal strategies for the
planning and management of water resources systems, particularly reservoir operation. This …

This paper tackles the short-term hydro-power unit commitment problem in a multi-reservoir
system—a cascade-based operation scenario. For this, we propose a new mathematical …

The application of the fuel cell (FC) in improving the clean and energy-efficient cogeneration
of heat and power has been broadly justified by researchers. However, the reliable …

In this paper, a bi-objective mathematical model is presented for energy hub scheduling with
consideration of preventive maintenance policy. In the model, the hub equipment is …

This paper presents a unit commitment algorithm that defines each unit discharge given the
water head, the total plant downstream flow, the variable discharge upper limit, the unit …

The periodic outage planning of generation units for maintenance services is critical for their
economic operation. Ignoring it can lead to premature degradation, high repair costs, and …

Maintenance scheduling is an important and complex task in hydropower systems. In a
liberalized market, the generation company will schedule maintenance periods to maximize …

This paper studies the coordinated optimization between generator maintenance scheduling
and long-term unit commitment in hydrothermal power systems, which can deal with the …

Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been an emerging feature of modern structural health
monitoring techniques that aims at evaluating equipment degradation process and it can be …
