Description
Summary:Substation automation systems (SAS) are critical infrastructures whose design and maintenance must be optimised to guarantee a suitable performance. In order to provide a collection of solutions that balance availability and cost, this paper explores the optimisation of the design and maintenance of a section of SAS. Multiobjective evolutionary algorithms are combined with discrete event simulation while the performance of two state-of-the-art multiobjective evolutionary algorithms is studied. On the one hand, the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II), and on the other hand, the S-metric selection evolutionary multiobjective optimisation algorithm (SMS-EMOA). Such a problem is solved from 2 and 3-objective approaches by attending to the multiobjectivisation concept. The robustness of the methodology is brought to light, and benefits were observed from the multiobjectivisation approach. Decision-makers can employ this knowledge to make informed decisions based on economic and reliability criteria.
