Transmission‐constrained generation maintenance scheduling considering market‐based demand response

Summary Introduction of smart grid has changed different paradigms in power industry. System-wide demand participation in power system operational planning is one of such influenced paradigms. To comply with these influenced paradigms, generation maintenance scheduling (GMS), as one of the operation planning processes, should be modified to adapt to the new changes. This paper proposes a new model to consider demand response (DR) in the GMS problem. The proposed GMS problem is modelled as a mixed integer linear programming problem and solved for the two known test cases, namely IEEE reliability test system and IEEE 118-bus test system. The results show that considering DR leads to more dispersed and uniformed generation unit maintenance schedules and lower overall system operation cost in comparison with the case in which DR is not considered.
