Most of the existing research in short-term power system maintenance scheduling assumes that repair is minimal when equipment fails. However, this may not always be the truth because sometimes repair after failure is imperfect. This paper investigates the impact of imperfect repair on power system maintenance scheduling. Unlike previous research which didn’t consider imperfect repair, a condition-based maintenance optimization model is proposed. The model focuses on equipment deterioration failure. Firstly, a new equipment state-space diagram under imperfect repair is given. And then, the availability of power equipment considering maintenance schedule and imperfect repair is derived using the Markov process theory. Based on that, in order to determine the optimal equipment maintenance schedules, the expression of system outage cost is given. Finally, system outage cost is minimized to optimize equipment maintenance schedules. A case study is used to illustrate the effectiveness and significance of the proposed model.
