Abstract EN
The development of wind power in China shows a dramatic growth in the past decade in terms of installed capacity.
However, wind power companies mainly focus on the construction of new wind farms continuously, while operations management once wind farms are built is seldom paid attention to.
The problem is crucial for ensuring efficient power generation, especially when wind turbines’ performance declines over time and disruption/failure often occurs.
Efficient disruption recovery operations are critical for restoring the failures of wind turbine generators as fast as possible.
This paper aims to optimize the disruption recovery operations for wind farms by determining the maintenance schedule and route for multiple maintenance teams.
This optimization problem is formulated as a deterministic mixed integer linear programming model with the objective of minimizing the loss of power generation due to failure.
In view of the high uncertainty of repair time, a chance-constrained programming model and a cutting-plane solution algorithm are further proposed.
A case study based on a real wind farm demonstrates (1) the proposed model is applicable for solving real-world-sized problems; (2) the optimal maintenance route often shows a crossing pattern, which is quite different from that of traditional vehicle routing problems; and (3) the working time limit violation for maintenance teams due to uncertain repair time can be effectively avoided.
Overall, the proposed optimization model provides decision-making support for wind farm maintenance work and shows a great potential in wind farm energy management.
