Power System Optimization and Control

Tutorial-1

Q.1. In a two plant system, the entire load is located at plant 2, which is connected to plant 1
by a transmission line. Plant 1 supplies 100 MW of power with a corresponding
transmission loss of 5MW. Calculate the penalty factors for the two plants. (Ans:1.111,1)
Q.2. For the system of Q.1., λ=$15/MWh, and the incremental fuel costs for the two plants are
given by:
𝑑𝑑𝐹𝐹1 𝑑𝑑𝐹𝐹2
= 0.01𝑃𝑃1 + 10 and = 0.02𝑃𝑃2 + 12 in $/MWh. How much power
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑1 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑2
should be generated at each plant for minimal total fuel cost? (Ans: 350MW,150MW)
Q.3. The fuel cost function in $/hr for three thermal plants are given by:
F1= 350+7.2P1 +0.004P12, F2 = 500+7.3P2+0.0025P22, F3=600+6.74P3 +0.003P32
If P1, P2, P3 are in MW, find the optimal schedule for a demand of 600MW.
(Ans: 138.125MW, 201MW, 260.875MW)
Q.4. On a system with two plants the incremental costs are given by:
𝑑𝑑𝐹𝐹1 𝑑𝑑𝐹𝐹2
= 0.01𝑃𝑃1 + 20 and = 0.015𝑃𝑃2 + 22.5 Rs./MWh
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑1 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑2
∂PL
The system is running under optimal schedule with P1=P2= 100MW. If = 0.2, find
∂P2
∂PL
the plant penalty factors and . (Ans:1.428, 1.25,0.3)
∂P1

Q.5. A two bus system is shown in the figure. If 100MW is transmitted from plant 1 to the load,
a loss of 10 MW is incurred. System incremental cost is λ=Rs.30/MWh. Find if P1, P2,
Ploss are power received by load if

(Ans: 175MW,250 MW, 30.625MW,394.375MW)

Q.6. The fuel cost in $/h for two 800 MW plants is given by:
F1 = 400 + 6.0 PG1 + 0.004 PG12
F2 = 500 + b2 PG2 + c2 PG22
where PG1, PG2 are in MW
(a) The incremental cost of power, λ is $8 / MWh when total demand is 550MW.
Determine optimal generation schedule neglecting losses.
(b) The incremental cost of power is $10/MWh when total demand is 1300 MW.
Determine optimal schedule neglecting losses.
(c) From (a) and (b) find the coefficients b2 and c2. (Ans: 6.8, 0.002)
Q.7. Incremental fuel costs in $ / MWh for two units are given below:
𝑑𝑑𝐹𝐹1 𝑑𝑑𝐹𝐹2
= 0.01𝑃𝑃1 + 2 and = 0.012𝑃𝑃2 + 1.6 $/MWh
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑1 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑2
The limits on the plants are Pmin = 20 MW, Pmax = 125 MW. Obtain the optimal schedule if
the load varies from 50 – 250 MW. Show the plot of each unit output versus the total plant
output. What is the saving in fuel cost for the economic schedule compared to the case where
the load is shared equally. The load is 180 MW.
Q.8. A generator is supplying a load. An incremental change in load of 4 MW requires
generation to be increased by 6 MW. The incremental cost at the plant bus is Rs.30/MWh.
What is the incremental cost at the receiving end? Draw the one line diagram of the
system.
