Cooperative maintenance decision system for power plant based on swarm intelligence

Maintenance is one of the important research subjects of the electric power system. In order to realize cooperative maintenance decision, the system framework of multi-knowledge, multi-method, multi-resource, multi-information based on swarm intelligence is constructed, the method of knowledge modeling is studied. Swarm intelligence is a quality that many individuals can behave intelligently through interaction. The individuals are open to each other, sharing the resource information, managing and dispatching are unified with the platform based on knowledge grid, the serving information is offered for different power plants, manufactures and research units. That is beneficial to enhancing the diagnosis and management of the maintenance decision support system, reducing its costs, and improving its efficiency, thus providing a feasible approach for the realization of condition-based maintenance gradually.
