Abstract EN
This paper describes a method developed to schedule the preventive maintenance tasks of the generation and desalination units in separate and linked cogeneration plants provided that all the necessary maintenance and production constraints are satisfied.
The proposed methodology is used to generate two preventing maintenance schedules, one for electricity and the other for distiller.
Two types of crossover operators were adopted, 2-point and 4-point.
The objective function of the model is to maximize the available number of operational units in each plant.
The results obtained were satisfying the problem parameters.
However, 4-point slightly produce better solution than 2-point ones for both electricity and water distiller.
The performance as well as the effectiveness of the genetic algorithm in solving preventive maintenance scheduling is applied and tested on a real system of 21 units for electricity and 21 units for water.
The results presented here show a great potential for utility applications for effective energy management over a time horizon of 52 weeks.
The model presented is an effective decision tool that optimizes the solution of the maintenance scheduling problem for cogeneration plants under maintenance and production constraints.
