ECONOMIC DISPATCH IN POWER SYSTEMS


Date:

AIM:
1. To calculate the optimal generation schedule of thermal generating units/plant to meet
system load and economic operation of power system.
2. To with a MATLAB program to calculate optimal generation schedule of various units/plants.

SOFTWARE USED:

FORMULA :
Incremental fuel cost of ith generator
λ i = ∂Fi / ∂PGi = aiPGi +b i
For optimal scheduling
∂F1 / ∂PG1 = ∂F2 / ∂PG2 = ∂Fi / ∂PGi = λ --------------- 1
And PG1+ PG2 +……..+ PGi = PD
Coordinating losses

THEORY:
In a power system, real power generation at various buses is set so as to meet the
total demand plus losses.

for a system with ‘k’ generators.,


The above equation yields numerous solutions for PGi .Economic dispatch problem involves
minimization of total fuel cost of generation by optimally scheduling the generation of various units
and plants.

ALGORITHM:
1. Get the number of generators k and total dement PD.
2. Get fuel cost function and coefficients a,b and d for each generation and get Bmn coefficients.
3. Initially assume PGi = Pmin for all buses

4. Choose λ = 10 initially and ∆λ = 0.001, tolerance, = 0.1, iterations count ic = 1.


5. Calculate PGi for all generators using equation

6. Calculate the total power loss

7. Check the equality constraint

If error is less than tolerance, goto 9.


If error is negative λ = λ + ∆λ
If error is positive λ = λ - ∆λ

8. iteration = iteration + 1 and go to step 5


9. Calculate the fuel cost of various generators and total fuel cost from cost equations.
