Abstract

This paper proposes an innovative smart maintenance (SM) model for scheduling proactive preventive maintenance of static synchronous compensators (STATCOMs). The approach is primarily useful for optimal operational planning of STATCOMs to maximize net benefit that comes from the difference between the power losses reduction savings and the cost of STATCOM’s acquisition and maintenance. The SM model incorporates: 1. Markov chains to describe STATCOM reliability with aging features; and 2. Type I restoration factor to describe the impact of maintenance over component’s virtual age. The optimization problem is solved using the Accelerated Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization (AQPSO), which involves three stages. The first stage determines the optimum number, size, and placement of the STATCOMs. The second stage set the effective maintenance plan. The last stage governs the best operation of the STATCOMs. The results show the efficacy of the proposed model, opening a new pathway to future applications in smart grids.
