摘要
For the control-limit policy of condition-based maintenance (CBM), it usually focuses on the internal condition of the equipment while neglecting the un-constant external conditions. However, the electricity price-dependent downtime cost have influence on the cost-effectiveness of control-limit policy for a generating unit in a power system. To make a linkage between CBM and the non-constant cost model, an electricity price-dependent control-limit policy (EPCLP) is proposed to accommodate the time-dependent downtime costs. For the proposed EPCLP, preventive maintenance control-limits is much flexible to be adjusted to different electricity price levels, and the maintenance cost reduction can be achieved among the planning horizon as a result. The optimal control-limits and maintenance costs for different downtime-cost ratios, reliabilities, covariate processes and electricity price scenarios are analysed to compare the performances between the proposed policy and the constant control-limit policy. Through the sensitivity analysis, the application scope of the proposed policy is evaluated.
