Maintenance Planning of Electric Distribution Systems—A Review

Electric distribution systems have the objective of supplying electricity with quality and reliability to the final consumers. In order to meet both criteria, efficient maintenance programs have a vital importance mainly due to the actual increase in the requirements for distribution service quality and in technologies related to electrical networks. In this sense, the number of options and criteria for developing effective programs makes the related decision-making process a complex task. This paper presents a comprehensive review on maintenance planning in electrical distribution systems covering different criteria such as economic and reliability. More specifically, this work summarizes contributions up to now through a holistic framework that comprises the premises of predictive, preventive and corrective maintenance. The work is organized by relevant aspects of researches in the field, as criteria, probability functions, constraints and methods that have been applied, within a comprehensive classification.
