Abstract

The Transmission Maintenance Scheduling (TMS) is a strategic problem in asset management for electrical utilities around the worlds. It consists in generating an annual plan for the preventive maintenance of electric power transmission equipment. The resulting maintenance plan must ensure a continuous power flow during maintenance operations. It must also satisfy various constraints such as the stability of the network and the availability of skilled teams to fulfill the planned maintenance tasks. The proposed TMS problem is part of an important project for asset management at Hydro-Quebec (HQ). It is a variant addressing the human resource allocation constraints to ensure the feasibility of a maintenance plan (respecting the available number of technicians in each period). The problem is solved using a constraint-satisfaction approach and experiments are carried out on a HQ power subnetwork, with limits on the capacity of available electricians.
