Selective Maintenance Schedule of DistributionNetworks Based on Risk Management Approach
Aleksandar D. Janjic , Member, IEEE , and Dragan S. Popovic , Member, IEEE
Abstract—This paper presents a methodology for optimal long-term maintenance schedule of distribution networks. The method-ology is based on risk management approach and the new model of decoupled risk factors and state transition based on decision treediagram. Risk approach provides more realistic modeling of com-ponent failure and estimation of expected consequences, while de-coupled risk factors enable definition of selective plan for preven-tive actions. Theproposed methodology is testedon a real overheaddistribution network, but it can be used for other parts of distribu-tion system as well. Obtained results have shown that the expectedcosts of distribution network maintenance can be reduced and therisk of emerging of significant operation costs minimized, by de-
tailed and realistic modeling of risk factors. Index Terms—Distribution network, dynamic programming,
maintenance schedule, risk management.
I. INTRODUCTION
MAINTENANCE schedule of distribution system is
timely action plan with purpose to extend life cycle of
the system, in order to reduce overall operation costs. Mainte-
nance is closely related to reliability. If maintenance actions
are performed rarely, it can cause a large number of faults and
outages, while done too often, costs will be greatly increased.
Therefore, it is necessary to make an appropriate balance
between maintenance costs and outage duration costs. Two
main approaches in the maintenance strategy determination are
a) corrective, or “run to failure,” approach and b) preventive
maintenance. Preventive maintenance strategies may be further
divided into several different types: scheduled maintenance,
condition based and Reliability centered maintenance (RCM).
Risk based maintenance can also be considered as a special
case of RCM. Overview of status in application of various
maintenance strategies is provided in report of IEEE Task
Force [1].
According to mathematical model, or definition of objective
function, maintenance schedule problem is developed in four di-
rections: 1) maintenance costs minimization; 2) reliability max-
imization; 3) overall costs minimization; and 4) overall risk
minimization.
In the first approach, the criteria function is defined as the
minimum of maintenance costs [2]. Reliability is defined as a

limit, or minimal requested level. In the second approach, an
optimal maintenance strategy is determined that achieves the
highest reliability of the system, or EENS indexes [3], [4].
In the third approach, in the criteria function, beside mainte-
nance costs, reliability costs are added as well (costs of outage
frequency and duration from the consumer’s side) [5]–[8]. More
flexible models, that enable the combination of minimizing cost
for a given reliability and maximizing reliability for a given cost
[9], or cost benefit analysis, are also developed [10]–[13].
Risk management based maintenance is the latest approach
based on evaluating risk of equipment failure and consequencessuch failure can produce of functioning of the system [14]. In-
troducing the risk approach provides more realistic modeling
of equipment failure and estimation of expected consequences.
More precisely, quantification of risk enables determining an
optimal levelof risk that provides the most efficient maintenance
strategy for distribution networks.
In all of the above mentioned approaches, usually only one
kind of maintenance action has been analyzed -replacement or
repair of a particular component [2]–[4], [7], or just one specific
activity (inspection, tree trimming [8], [9]. Long term planning
is performed either by determining fixed time intervals [4]–[7]
or from year to year by quasi-dynamic approach [8], [9]. On the
other hand, prioritizing of maintenance activities does not pro-
vide a global optimum of costs [10]–[13]. Finally, in [15] is pro-
posed the model of decoupling risk factors and related preven-
tive actions, but in this model simultaneous treatment of more
components and risk approach has not been used. In a method-
ology for determining optimal maintenance strategy, it is there-
fore necessary to define a model that would unite following de-
mands: 1) decoupling risk factors and related preventive actions,
2) determining strategy for long term period, and 3) simulta-
neous treatment of more components. This paper is dedicated
to these problems.
The proposed methodology in this paper determines an op-
timal plan of actions for multiyear maintenance schedule. It isbased on the risk approach and the model of decoupled failure
risk factors in distribution network. Risk approach enabled more
realistic modeling of component failure and estimation of ex-
pected consequences, while decoupling risk factors provided an
overview of quantitative influence of individual risk factors to
reliability and determining the optimal plan of selected actions
that have impact to individual risk factors. Within that method-
ology, the new model of state transition based on decision tree
diagram is also proposed. New state variables – number of years
since the last repair for each preventive maintenance action have
been introduced into this model. Introducing these new vari-
ables provides a simple modeling of state transition, as well as

II. RISK MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE FOR
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
To determine an optimal multiyear maintenance scenario it
is necessary to analyze all possible scenarios and associate to
each of them appropriate expected risk. Finally, it is necessary to
choose the scenario that minimizes risk of emerging significant
operation costs by using appropriate criteria for risk evaluation.
For such analysis, the most suitable is the risk management ap-
proach that is a process whereby organization methodically ad-
dresses the risks attached to maintenance activities with the goal
of achieving sustained benefit within each activity and across all
activities.
The crucial step is to analyze, e.g., to assess consequences,
likelihood, and the level of risk. The first task in the process of
risk analysis is to determine the model of component failure. In
the model proposed in this paper, decoupling of risk factors and
analysis of risk increase in time was performed. Next, all pos-
sible preventive actions that set these decoupled risk factors to
initial value were overviewed. Lastly, each of these preventive
actions leads the system into a particular state in which evalu-
ating of consequences, or expected costs, is performed. Tran-
sition from one state to another is modeled through the state
transition model in form of decision tree. This model provides
multiyear evaluation of all possible scenarios and estimation of total expected costs associated with each scenario. The dynamic
programming technique is used for solving the proposed model,
or determining the optimal maintenance scenario. In the end,
the model extension for treatment of multiple components was
presented.
A. Risk and Decoupling of Risk Factors
In spite of considerable overlap in the word “risk ” and “re-
liability,” it is assumed that the two words have the identical
implication. Higher risk means lower reliability, and vice versa.
Risk and risk management has a wide-ranging content [16]. The
following definitions have been used in this paper: risk, failurerate, and risk factors.
Risk is defined as multiplication of probability that a failure
(fault) can happen, on one side, and expected value of costs that
cause this failure in the system, on the other side. The risk is
defined on the level of the considered system.
Failure rate ( ) describes probability of failure of the consid-
ered component, or the number of times per year that a compo-
nent can expect to experience a failure. Failure rate is defined on
the level of the component. Total failure rate of one component
can be decoupled to several different failure rates
(1)
Fig. 1. Failure rate for different influencing factors.
where th failure rates resulted from corresponding th risk
factor and is the number of influencing risk factors.
Each of the different failure rates is associated with one cor-
responding risk factor that influences reliability of this element.For example, different failure rates of one overhead line can be
caused by different risk factor influences (vegetation influence,
insulation and supporting equipment failures and faults due to
mechanical damage of the poles). The decoupling of failure rate
and corresponding risk factors provides more realistic overview
of quantitative influence of separate risk factors to reliability.
Decoupling is not based on technological separation (line sep-
aration to poles, insulators, disconnectors, etc.) but functional,
according to influential risk factor – vegetation related failures,
earth faults due to the pollution of insulators, etc. These indi-
vidual influences can be estimated based on statistics and mon-
itoring of line faults, and consequently, the appropriate function
for the increase of those individual factors in time can be de-
termined. In Fig. 1, an average diagram of failure rates for sev-
eral important parameters is presented, based on statistical data
of influencing parameters for the sum of 2000 km long 10 kV
overhead lines in Southern Serbia Distribution Company. This
figure shows that failure rates increase in time, unless preven-
tive maintenance actions are performed. Modeling of compo-
nent failure is mostly based on using constant failure rates as-
sociated with exponential probability distribution of staying in
particular states. However, failure rates are not constant but in-
crease in time. As the closest probability distribution of time du-
ration between faults has proven to be Weibull distribution that
realistically presents aging of equipment and increased failurerate in time [7]. With the use of selective maintenance model,
it is possible to use different probability functions, including a
Weibull distribution.
B. Preventive Maintenance Actions
Above-mentioned risk factors can be reduced by applying
preventive actions. For example, a) minor damages are solved
by inspection and minor repairs; b) major damages are solved by
larger overhauls; and c) vegetation influence is removed by trim-
ming the trees surrounding the power lines. In case in year one
of the mentioned actions is performed, the value of appropriate
failure rate for this particular factor drops to initial value. In thisway, the object after repair is not considered as being “new”, but

TABLE IACTIVITIES IN OVERHEAD LINE MAINTENANCE
the risk is reduced only by the one risk factor for which a selec-
tive preventive or corrective action has been performed. This de-
composition to individual factors provides the influence impact
of separate maintenance actions to entire reliability of the dis-
tribution network. In general, possible actions that can be taken
during maintenance of one object are 1) not doing any mainte-
nance activity; 2) performing minor repairs and overhaul based
on inspection results; 3) performing overhauls in fixed intervals;
and 4) performing selective actions on a predefined timetable.
Some of these actions must be performed on no-load conditions,
and some under load. Detailed display of most frequent main-
tenance actions on an overhead line are given in Table I.
By decoupling individual risk factors it is possible to simul-
taneously overview several preventive maintenance actions. In
fact, each of the influencing factors is associated with one of the
actions, which contributes to selective approach that in bottomline reduces total costs.
C. Maintenance Model of Distribution System
Distribution system, for purposes of maintenance schedule
is modeled as technical system susceptible to aging. Several
models for reliability assessment and evaluation of risk take in
account aging of the system and influence of separate activities
[4]–[9], [16]–[19]. Choice of model depends on complexity of
the networks, available data, and requested accuracy of results.
Serial/parallel networks [18] models a distribution network
as connection of serial/parallel elements. Optimal interval
between activities is determined by Newton-Raphson method.This model optimizes only total failure frequency. In addition,
the results of using this model are always fixed intervals be-
tween preventive maintenance activities.
Marcov model is based on state space and it can model all
possible states that one object can be found in. Two basic as-
sumptions for applying this model are 1) the possibility of tran-
sition to the next state depends only on present state (and not
the way it was reached) and 2) rates of transition between states
are constant, which considers existence of exponential proba-
bility distribution of duration of staying in states. This model,
as well as modified stochastic Petri net model, is frequently
used in maintenance [4]–[6], [17], [19]. However, this model
has certain deficiencies. First, the Marcov model does not pro-vide dynamic overview of actions in long-term period, because
Fig. 2. Model of system aging (a) without decoupling and (b) with decoupling
( : system state in th moment of aging for th influencing factor, –fault).
the states in individual years are considered separately. More-
over, in this model, transition rates from individual states areunknown without large historical statistic data. Finally, in this
model, only exponential distribution of staying in certain states
can be applied, and this probability distribution does not match
the process of aging.
This paper proposes a decoupled model of state transition
where these deficiencies have been overcome. The proposed
model, unlike the ones previously mentioned, uses decision tree
as a model for transition from actual to the next state. Distri-
bution network is modeled as serial/parallel connection of el-
ements and its reliability is calculated through failure rates. A
maintenance model introduces new state variables – number of
years since the last selective action for each of the preventive
actions. One combination of state variables presents one systemstate at a particular moment. This state is characterized by ap-
propriate failure rates that depend on number of years since the
last performed action, for each action separately. Transition rate
from one state to another is defined by total costs of actions per-
formed in this state, or cost increase in case that these actions
were not performed. In this way, the state space is not consid-
ered in a stationary, but in a dynamic way.
Introducing of new variables provides simple modeling of
state transition as well as ef ficient application of dynamic pro-
gramming for solving combinatory problem such as mainte-
nance schedule for multiyear period. Additional improvement
has been achieved by decoupling the risk factors that influenceaging of the system. While in usual model of aging only aging of
the entire system is considered, Fig. 2(a), in decomposed model
the reliability of the system is calculated as sum of individual
failure rates that impact the reliability of the system Fig. 2(b).
It is assumed there is no mutual dependence between separate
influencing factors. In this way, by decoupling risk factors, the
analysis of different combinations of selective maintenance ac-
tions is available. For example, individual states within state
of line aging can be states of individual line components, or
different aging factors. Each of these actions can be influenced
by appropriate selective action directed only to a particular risk
factor (for example, cleaning of insulators improves only the
condition of insulation, trimming branches influences vegeta-tion related failures, etc.).

Fig. 3. Decision-tree for three-year maintenance scenario.
In each year, failure rates are changed for each of the in flu-
encing factors. Therefore, it is possible to apply random func-
tions of possibility distribution, especially Weibull’s, which best
considers systems prone to aging. The model assumes that ac-
tions are preformed in the beginning of the considered year and
that all risk values are calculated by values of failure rates at
this moment (Fig. 1). Executing each of the individual actions in
maintenance brings back a particular risk factor to initial value,
or failure rate. In this way, the influence of individual actions
has been considered in a more realistic way, so the number and
order of actions can be combined depending on state of aging
for the network.
D. Decision Tree for One Element
Decision tree for choosing selective actions in maintenance
of one overhead line for three-year considered period is pre-
sented in Fig. 3. Basic tree components are the decision node
(depicted as rectangle in Fig. 3) and chance node (depicted as a
circle in Fig. 3). In each node, decisions are defined as different
preventive maintenance scenarios ( ). These scenarios are
obtained by combining separate actions. Each of the scenarios
is presented with a branch that starts at the decision node and
terminates at the chance node. For each of the scenarios ( )
there is an appropriate number of possible outcome or conse-quences ( ) that depends on characteristics of the system itself.
Finally, is possible outcome with precisely de-
fined values of variables , ,, in state space. Each of these
consequences is presented with a branch that starts at the chance
node in Fig. 3. Subsequently, costs are calculated for each of the
consequences ( ). Costs of consequences in each of
the scenarios ( ) are formed by taken preventive ac-
tions for this scenario (e.g., costs of inspection and cleaning cor-ridor, cost due to undelivered energy and costs of repair works).
The method of calculating these maintenance costs and costs re-
sulting from faults is given in the Appendix.
Each path in presented tree (graph) represents one multiyear
scenario of preventive maintenance ( ). The transition
scheme for a line is given with three possible actions:
1) inspection and eliminating minor faults;
2) major line overhaul and eliminating major defects;
3) trimming trees surrounding the line.
The marks time in years since the previous action of type
( , 2, 3). If a certain action is not performed, the value of ap-
propriate variable is increased by 1 (element is 1 year older),
and if action has been performed, the value is set back to 0 (con-dition of the element is returned to initial for determined set of
influences eliminated by corrective action). Also, a scheme of
all possible transitions from initial state to all possible states in
the next time periods is given. By observing possible transitions
from the figure, it is clear that, for example state (0, 0, 0) in
second year matches feeder where all three actions were pre-
formed and all possible damaging influences eliminated. State
matches the feeder where inspection and elim-
ination of minor faults has been performed, but the time since
the previous major overhaul and trimming trees increases for 1.
With the scheme of possible transitions it is possible to consider
specifics also of the entire system in terms of various combina-
tions of maintenance actions.
This paper considers a practice that during line inspection
elimination of minor faults is performed also, but a system
where it is impossible to approach one of the actions unless
an inspection has been performed can also be considered.
Observing the tree in Fig. 4 can lead to a conclusion that the
number of possible states increases in geometrical progression
with years, but because of contraction of individual states, the
number of possible states is compressed, which reduces di-
mension of the problem. In this case, inspection itself does not
increase the reliability of the system, but the transitions from
one state to another without previous inspection are forbidden.
For the purpose of illustrating possible transitions, Fig. 4presents a scheme of transitions for initial state , ,
. The last actions on the line are performed before 2,
larger overhaul before 3 and tree trimming before 4 years.
However, Fig. 4 does not present a decision tree diagram and
it is not completely identical with Fig. 3. Actually, it displays
only possible transitions from one state to another. The aim of
this illustration is to show that not all transitions are possible,
or how much the number of states is reduced from year to year.
E. Application of Dynamic Programming
The graph in Fig. 3 clearly points to dynamic character of
decision making in maintenance process, which points to ap-plication of dynamic programming for determining the optimal

multiyear scenario of preventive maintenance. Optimal mainte-
nance scenario ( ) is chosen based on maximum Ex-
pected Monetary Value (max EMV) criteria for ranking risks
[20]. This criterion for risk evaluation corresponds to mainte-
nance scenario in which the total expected costs of maintenance
are minimal

Constraints in the proposed model are within budget pre-
dicted for conducting actions in maintenance and in available
number of teams for preventive actions. In case of violating con-
straints in one year, penalty factor is introduced that multiplies
achieved value of costs. This method provides finding a global
minimum.
F. Simultaneous Optimization of Multiple Components
For a distribution company that owns hundreds of lines, it is
necessary to coordinate all activities in maintenance, in order to
achieve the maximum effect, with simultaneous fulfillment of
constraints. The proposed model provides simultaneous obser-
vation of multiple elements of the system (several feeders in one
particular area). This is achieved by introducing -sets of state
for each element (Fig. 5). Each -set determines actions in th
element
Larger number of analyzed elements brings to progressive in-
crease of states in following periods (“curse of dimensionality”).
In this sense, searching for the global optimum can be cancelled
and the advantage should be given to certain methods for prior-
itization of maintenance. Prioritization in this case can be per-
formed also by objects that would carry the execution of activi-
ties and selection of maintenance activities themselves. The first
step in this process is an independent analysis for individual el-
ements of the system, according to proposed model. In second
step, the ranking of variants according to one of the accepted
parameters is performed [10], [22]. However, in this way it isnot possible to determine the global optimum of the system.

IV. CONCLUSION
This paper presents a methodology for determining the op-
timal multiyear scenario of preventive maintenance that is based
on application of risk evaluation and risk management tools and
of dynamic programming technique. The essence of the pro-
posed methodology consists of decoupling the risk factors and
determining selective action plan, which provides that total risk
of expected operation costs in a particular time period is min-
imal. Analysis performed in this paper have shown that by appli-cation of one such sophisticated method the expected operation
costs are significantly reduced in comparison with usual tradi-
tional approach of applying overhauls in regular time intervals.
In this way, the proposed methodology can become an important
analytic tool in conditions of open competition where reducing
of operating costs in distribution networks has a great value.
APPENDIX
Total annual costs related to maintenance of an overhead line
consist of the following.
• Costs of line inspection and costs of eliminating minor
faults –• Costs of clearing corridors: .
• Costs of capital overhauls: .
• Costs of unplanned outages: .
• Costs of energy losses: .
As costs of energy losses, for the same feeder whose charac-
teristics do not change over years (diameter of the conductor),
are equal for the entire considered period, they will not be taken
in consideration.
Annual costs of preventive actions, marked with

Inspection costs include the component of man power and
they are given with relation (A.2) Costs of eliminating minor
faults, include costs of material used during repairs noted in vi-
sual inspection. Visual inspection does not require switching off
the line, but during minor repairs the line is brought into off load
state. This is a planned power cut, so the costs of shut down
are calculated as costs of planned shut down. Besides the costsof single outage, the company suffers damage due to undeliv-
ered energy that is included by the last member in the following
