Introduction
What is mean by Economic Load Dispatch?
It determines the power output of each power plant
and power output of each generating stations within a
power plant , Which will minimize the overall cost of
fuel needed to serve the system load.

Plant Scheduling Method
• Base loading to capacity
• Base loading to most efficient load
• Proportional loading to capacity
Equal Incremental Cost Method-Transmission losses
neglected (Method of Lagrange Multiplier)
For a given load to be allocated between several
generating units, the most efficient unit is identified by
incremental cost of production should be the one get
priority.
When this is applied repeatedly to all the units the
load allocation will become complete when all of them,
that are involved in operation, are all working at the same
incremental cost of production.
Consider 𝒏𝒈 generating units supplying 𝑃1, 𝑃2…….. 𝑃𝑛𝑔
active powers to supply a total load demand 𝑃 𝐷.

Unit Commitment-
The topic of unit commitment deals with specifying the units
which should be operated for a given load . That means which
units should be committed to supply a given load.
It is economical to de-commit certain units when load is low.
“To commit a unit means to bring the boiler to the required
temperature, bring the turbine and generator to synchronous
speed and synchronise the generator to the system”.
Constraints in Unit Commitment-
The problem of deciding which units to for a certain load is
beset with many constraints,
 Spinning Reserve
 Minimum up time
 Minimum down time
 Crew Constraints
 Transition cost
 Hydro Constraints
 Nuclear Constraints
 Must runtime Units
 Fuel Supply Constraints
Methods of Unit Commitment-
1. Priority List Methods
In this method we prepare priority list of the order in which the generating
units should be added to the system.
This list would also include the order of the shutting down the units when the
system load decreases.
When the load is very low, the units with the lowest heat rate supplies the
entire load. As the load increases the units having heat rates in ascending
order are successively added.
Consider the three thermal plants operating with the following incremental
fuel rate characteristics,
Plant 1
𝐹1 = 7 + 0.003𝑃1 ∗ 103 𝐾 − 𝐶𝑎𝑙/𝑀𝑤𝐻𝑟
𝑃1
𝑚𝑎𝑥

𝑃3

The fuel cost at the plant is given as
𝐶𝑃1 = 1.1 𝑅𝑆/𝐾𝑐𝑎𝑙
𝐶𝑃2 = 1.05 𝑅𝑆/𝐾𝑐𝑎𝑙
𝐶𝑃3 = 1.2 𝑅𝑆/𝐾𝑐𝑎𝑙
The full load average production cost is

The priority list for supplying load up to 1000 MW is prepared as,
Units Maximum(MW) Minimum(MW)

In order of increasing cost the following table is constructed as,

Methods of Unit Commitment-
2. Dynamic Programming
This method can be applied to problems in which many sequential decisions
are required to be taken in defining the optimum operation of a system or
process composed of distinct number of stages.
However , it is suitable only when the decisions at later stages do not affect
the operation at the earlier stages.
Let the cost of operating the first unit be 𝐹1 𝑃1 when supplying power 𝑃1is ,
𝑭 𝟏 𝑷 𝟏 = 𝑓1 𝑝1
The optimal combination of this unit with a second unit can be derived next to
supply a load of 𝑃1 + 𝑃2 for which the optimal cost is
𝐹2 𝑃1 + 𝑃2 = min[𝑓2 𝑝2 + 𝑭 𝟏 𝑷 𝟏 ]
As 𝐹1 𝑃1 is already the optimal value, the best units to supply 𝑃2 from the
rest of (N-1) units will be picked during second stage of optimization for
lowest possible cost of production.
𝐹3 𝑃1 + 𝑃2 + 𝑃3 = min[𝑓3 𝑝3 + 𝐹2 𝑃1 + 𝑃2 ]

Equal Incremental Cost Method-Transmission losses neglected (Method of Lagrange Multiplier) For a given load to be allocated between several generating units, the most efficient unit is identified by incremental cost of production should be the one get priority. When this is applied repeatedly to all the units the load allocation will become complete when all of them, that are involved in operation, are all working at the same incremental cost of production.

  • 32. Unit Commitment- The topic of unit commitment deals with specifying the units which should be operated for a given load . That means which units should be committed to supply a given load. It is economical to de-commit certain units when load is low. “To commit a unit means to bring the boiler to the required temperature, bring the turbine and generator to synchronous speed and synchronise the generator to the system”.
  • 33. Constraints in Unit Commitment- The problem of deciding which units to for a certain load is beset with many constraints,  Spinning Reserve  Minimum up time  Minimum down time  Crew Constraints  Transition cost  Hydro Constraints  Nuclear Constraints  Must runtime Units  Fuel Supply Constraints
  • 34. Methods of Unit Commitment- 1. Priority List Methods In this method we prepare priority list of the order in which the generating units should be added to the system. This list would also include the order of the shutting down the units when the system load decreases. When the load is very low, the units with the lowest heat rate supplies the entire load. As the load increases the units having heat rates in ascending order are successively added.

  • 38. Methods of Unit Commitment- 2. Dynamic Programming This method can be applied to problems in which many sequential decisions are required to be taken in defining the optimum operation of a system or process composed of distinct number of stages. However , it is suitable only when the decisions at later stages do not affect the operation at the earlier stages.

Let the cost of operating the first unit be 𝐹1 𝑃1 when supplying power 𝑃1is , 𝑭 𝟏 𝑷 𝟏 = 𝑓1 𝑝1 The optimal combination of this unit with a second unit can be derived next to supply a load of 𝑃1 + 𝑃2 for which the optimal cost is 𝐹2 𝑃1 + 𝑃2 = min[𝑓2 𝑝2 + 𝑭 𝟏 𝑷 𝟏 ] As 𝐹1 𝑃1 is already the optimal value, the best units to supply 𝑃2 from the rest of (N-1) units will be picked during second stage of optimization for lowest possible cost of production.
