Abstract
The aim of generator maintenance scheduling (GMS) in an electric power system is to allocate a proper maintenance timetable for generators while maintaining a high system reliability, reducing total production cost, extending generator life time etc. In order to solve this complex problem a genetic algorithm technique is proposed here. The paper discusses the implementation of GAs to GMS problems with two approaches: generational and steady state. The results of applying these GAs to a test GMS problem based on a practical power system scenario are presented and analysed. The effect of different GA parameters is also studied
