Steam generation (SG) system having five subsystems, namely Economizer, Reheater, Superheater, Furnace, Turbines, and Generator. The differential equations are acquired from the state transition diagram (STD) made pertaining to the real environment of the plant using Markov Method (MM). To get the performance of the system these equations are being worked out using normalizing conditions. The Performance values are attained by providing the apt values of failure and repair rates (FRRs) in the Markov model. Optimal Availability of the system is achieved with the Genetic algorithm (GA) technique.

The present paper deals with the opportunities for the availability predictive modeling of a thermal plant using Markov process and probabilistic approach. These opportunities will be identified by evaluation of a predictive model to be built for the steam generation system of a thermal power plant. This feasibility study covers two areas: development of a predictive model and evaluation of performance with the help of developed model. The present system under study consists of five subsystems with three feasible states: full working, reduced capacity working and failed. After drawing transition diagram, differential equations are generated and then a probabilistic simulated predictive model using Markov approach has been developed considering some assumptions. Availability matrix for each subsystem is also developed, which provide various availability levels. On the basis of this study, performance of each subsystem of steam generation system is evaluated and then maintenance decisions are made for subsystems.

In electric power plant operation, Economic Environmental Dispatch (EED) of a thermal-wind is a significant chore to involve allocation of production amongst the running units so the price, NOx extraction status and SO2 extraction status are enhanced concurrently whilst gratifying each and every experimental constraint. This is an exceedingly controlled multiobjective optimizing issue concerning contradictory objectives having Primary and Secondary constraints. For the given work, a Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) is recommended for taking care of EED issue. In simulation results that are obtained by applying the two test systems on the proposed scheme have been evaluated against Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm 2 (SPEA 2).
