Sažetak
Maintenance of the power generating facilities in due time is essential for reliable and secure operation of the electric power system. In liberalized electricity market the economical aspects, pointed to the greatest possible revenue, have to be satisfied. On the other hand, technical aspects, which keep the power system above the desired level of safety and reliability, i.e. which are opposed to economical aspects, have to be satisfied as well. Therefore, these two opponent
standpoints have to be confronted in order to provide optimal solution which will comply with the strict technical limitations, and which will meet investor's economical requirements. This paper addresses the problem of obtaining the optimal maintenance schedule of hydro generating units. For this purpose, the paper discusses the mathematical programming method – Benders decomposition. After a brief description of the mathematical method, the application of the Benders decomposition on three Croatian hydroelectric power plants in a cascade on the Drava River is carried out.
