EXP 8: ECONOMIC DISPATCH IN POWER

SYSTEMS
AIM:

To develop a MATLAB program to solve the economic dispatch problem for


a given system.

APPARATUS:

S.no Software Version

1. MATLAB R2022a

ALGORITHM:

LAMBDA-ITERATION METHOD:

• Set value of λ initially.

• Solve the below equation to obtain power generated by the units, Pi:

𝐝𝐅𝐢 (𝐏𝐢 )
=𝛌
𝐏𝐢
Where 𝐹𝑖 (𝑃𝑖 ) is the fuel cost function for units 𝑖 = 1 𝑡𝑜 𝑁; this is the function

that must be minimized.

• If PLoad is the load demand that must be satisfied, the difference between

this demand the and sum of the generated powers is found.


𝐍

∈ = 𝐏𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 − ∑ 𝐏𝐢
𝐢=𝟏
• If ∈ > 0, then load is greater than the generation. Therefore, increase the λ

value and repeat steps 2-3.

• If ∈ < 0, then generation is greater than load. Therefore, decrease the λ

value and repeat steps 2-3.

• Stop the iteration when ∈ falls below a particular threshold.

• This process is illustrated below as a flow chart.

MATLAB CODE:
%% Economic load dispatch of Real power
% NOT considering transmission losses

clear all;
clc;
% n a b*cost c*cost min max
d = [1 225*0.8 8.4*0.8 0.0025*0.8 45 350;
2 729*1.02 6.3*1.02 0.0081*1.02 45 350;
3 400*0.9 7.5*0.9 0.0025*0.9 47.5 450];

D = 450;

b = d(:,3);
c = d(:,4);
Pmin = d(:,5);
Pmax = d(:,6);
dP = D;
x = 6; % assume lambda
while abs(dP)>0.00001
P = (x-b)./(2*c);
P = min(P,Pmax);
P = max(P,Pmin);
dP = D - sum(P);
x = x + dP*0.0025;
end

fprintf("Final value of lambda is: %2.3f R/MWh", x)


Power = table(d(:,1),P,'V',{'Unit' 'Power'})

OUTPUT:

Final value of lambda is: 7.544 R/MWh

Power =

3×2 table

Unit Power
