Accelerated optimal maintenance scheduling for generation units on a truthful platform

Maintenance of generation units is a measure to ensure the reliability of power systems. In this paper, a novel blockchain-based truthful condition-based maintenance of generation units (T-CBMGU) platform is proposed to innovate and upgrade state-of-the-art CBMGU. In addition, two valid inequalities are proposed to accelerate the convergence...

Investment planning for flexibility sources and transmission lines in the presence of renewable generation

Environmental and political factors determine long-term development for renewable generation around the world. The rapid growth of renewable generation requires timely changes in power systems operation planning, investments in additional flexible assets and transmission capacity. The development trends of restructured power systems suggest that...

Economic outage scheduling of transmission line for long-term horizon under demand and wind scenarios

A substantial increase in renewable energy in-feed to the primary grid as well as demand growth poses a challenge for transmission system operators (TSOs) to perform maintenance activities while addressing security of supply. A computationally efficient outage scheduling algorithm which is customizable in terms of area and time selection is...
