For the safe, stable, and economic operation of thermal power units in new power systems, the condition-based maintenance mode and storage strategy of key equipment and materials for power generation enterprises were selected. According to the storage linkage demand of condition-based maintenance, a Weibull probability density function was used to calculate spare parts demand, and an intelligent storage optimization model with an availability constraint was established. The application cases of spare parts cost and availability of high-value key equipment and low-value key equipment of coal-fired thermal power units were analyzed, respectively, and the influence of different life spans and the number of covered units on the model were expounded. The results show that the cost of spare parts borne by a single unit is greatly reduced via the optimization of an intelligent inventory (r,Q) strategy on the premise that the availability of units is not less than 99.5%.
