Lecture-80 Economic Load Dispatch Part-1_250519_001734

The document discusses Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) and Unit Commitment Decision (UCD) in power systems, focusing on minimizing fuel costs while adhering to constraints such as reserve, minimum on, and minimum off times. It outlines the optimization problem for Economic Dispatch Decision (EDD) and the importance of achieving equal incremental fuel costs among generators. Additionally, it describes the Lagrangian method for solving economic dispatch problems, emphasizing the coordination of generators to minimize fuel costs.

Economic Load Dispatch

You’ll Learn:
• Various operating costs of a Power System.
• Determine the load sharing between different generators for
minimum cost dispatch.
Generator Operating Cost
Generator Operating Cost
Unit Commitment Decision

The main objective of UCD is to minimize the fuel cost of thermal generating
unit & to decide the commitment schedule of all the plants the main
constraints which are affecting the UCD are
• Reserve constraints
• Minimum on time constraints
• Minimum off time constraints
Reserve Constraint
Minimum on time constraints

• If the generator is ON it should be continuously on for certain minimum


time on decided by the minimum on time of the unit
• T1 minimum ON = 5 hr
Minimum off time constraints

• If a generator is OFF it should be continuous off for certain minimum


time as decided by the minimum off time of the unit.
Economic Dispatch Decision (E.D.D)

• The main objective of E.D.D. is to minimize the fuel cost of thermal


generating unit and to decide the power generated by all the units
Optimization problem:-

Objective
Economic Dispatch Decision (E.D.D)

Valid solution vector


A solution vector satisfied all the constraint of the optimization problem then
it is called valid solution vector
Invalid solution vector
If a solution vector which is not satisfied even one constrain of an optimization
problem is called Invalid solution vector
Final solution vector
It should be valid solution vector & it should give minimum positive value for
an objective function for a minimization problem & maximum possible value
for objective function for maximization problem.
Economic dispatch
problem
• Economic dispatch with power
loss
• Economic dispatch without
power loss
Economic dispatch without power loss
Lagrangian method for solving economic without power loss
Lagrangian method for solving economic without power loss
Algorithm

• To get minimum fuel cost for an economic dispatch problem the


generator should be coordinated such that the incremental fuel cost
should be equal.
• The system λ always decided by unit or group of unit which are
participate in the economic dispatch.
Algorithm

• G2 is the minimum cost generator when compare to G1 throughout the


region of operating mode.

• When the incremental cost is equal the powers of two machine should
add to the total load power.
Algorithm
• Only one point exist corresponding to equal incremental cost of
production. To get the equal incremental cost G2 always operate at Px but
G1 can operate anywhere in between possible minimum and maximum
power generation

• There is no common incremental cost between the two units because


maximum incremental cost of G1 is less then min incremental cost of G2 .
Scheduling should be done by loading the G1 according to its maximum
power ( G2 should not violates minimum limit)
