Abstract :
Currently, the National Agency for Electric Energy applies penalties to the transmission companies due to scheduled and non-scheduled outages. These penalties aim to assure the reliability of the transmission service in a competitive environment. This paper proposes a method to minimize the penalties associated with transmission equipment outages through the optimization of the scheduled maintenance interval. The proposed optimization model is based on a new analytic method that estimates the expected penalties accurately.
