Abstract

In this article, we consider discrete-time opportunistic age replacement models with application to a scheduled maintenance problem for a section switch to distribute the electric power. It is shown that a replacement model with three maintenance options can be classified into six models by taking account of priority of maintenance options. Further, we develop new stochastic models with probabilistic priority to unify six models with deterministic priority, and derive the optimal opportunistic age replacement policies minimizing the expected costs per unit time in the steady state. A numerical example with real failure data of section switches is presented.
