SCHEDULING MAINTENANCE TO REDUCE DEGRADATION OF POWER GENERATION SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide scheduling of maintenance to reduce degradation of a power generation system.SOLUTION: A system includes a power generation system and controllers that control operations of the power generation system. The controllers include processors that receive multiple values associated with operating parameters of the power generation system, and determine a degradation cost function that quantifies a degradation cost on the basis of the values. The processors further receive an operation cost that includes a fixed financial cost of performing an operation on the power generation system, and determine an operation cost function that quantifies the operation cost. The processors further determine a total cost function of the power generation system on the basis of the degradation cost function and the operation cost function, and determine times to perform the operation of the power generation system on the basis of the total cost function. The processors further send an alert to perform the operation of the power generation system at the times.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
