Planned Maintenance Graphs for Collocated Heat Supply Network Sections: Optimization with Practical Specifics

Abstract

This paper considers the issues associated with the practical problem of optimal life cycle of a lengthy heat supply network section. We present a mathematical model and basic algorithms yielding optimal maintenance graphs for one or two collocated lengthy heat supply network sections. The optimal repair times are calculated and the corresponding economic effect is estimated by an example of four collocated sections.
