Lab 1 - Power System Economic Operation

This document outlines tasks for a power system economic operation lab involving power flow calculations, economic dispatch, and unit commitment. For power flow, students are asked to analyze a 9-bus system using Matpower and evaluate changes to line parameters and load. For economic dispatch, students must determine the optimal generation dispatch to meet varying loads at lowest cost using three generators. For unit commitment, students must generate a three-hour schedule committing and dispatching three generators to meet load while satisfying operational constraints. Students are instructed to complete the tasks using appropriate software and submit a combined report and code.

LAB 1: POWER SYSTEM ECONOMIC OPERATION

Task 1: Power Flow


Objective: To carry out power flow calculations using Matpower. Matpower can be downloaded
from http://www.pserc.cornell.edu/matpower/
(3 Marks)
a) Based on the given 9-bus system, call power flow toolbox “Matpower” from Maltab to
calculate power flow in the 9-bus power system. Please provide the bus number of swing
bus, PQ bus, and PV bus? Please provide the power flow on the transmission lines (MW,
MVAr), the voltage profile (magnitude and angle) at each bus, and total system power
loss (MW, MVAr).
b) Add one transmission line connecting bus 7 and bus 5 in the 9-bus power system, and
calculate power flow again. The line parameters are shown in the table below. Please
provide the voltage profile (magnitude and angle) of each bus and total system power
loss (MW, MVAr). Compare and explain the difference of results with the original
system configurations.
fbus tbus r x B rateA rateB rateC ratio angle status angmin angmax
7 5 0.05 0.100 0.300 300 300 300 0 0 1 -360 360
c) Increase the load at bus 7 to 330 MW and 40 MVAr, and calculate power flow again.
Please provide the voltage profile (magnitude and angle) of each bus and total system
power loss (MW, MVAr). Compare and explain the difference of results with the original
system configurations.

Task 2: Economic Dispatch
Objective: To carry out economic dispatch using whatever program you are familiar with (Matlab,
Excel, VB, VC, VC++, Java, etc.)
(3 Marks)
Consider a system with 3 units that serve its load. The fuel cost function of one unit is defined by:
Fi  Pi   ai Pi 2  bi Pi  ci

The production cost coefficients and generator constraints are shown in the table below.
Generator ai ($/MW2h) bi ($/MWh) ci ($/h) Pmin (MW) Pmax (MW)
1 (Coal Unit) 0.0020 10 2000 20 120
2 (Coal Unit) 0.0018 8 6000 120 600
3 (Gas Unit) 0.0032 20 950 110 500
The primary objective of this problem is to determine the most economic loadings of these
generators such that the demand in a power system can be met. Assume that the transmission line
constraints and transmission losses are negligible; this problem can be described as an optimization
process with following objective function and equality constraint:

a) Please determine the most economic dispatch of these three generators for load from 01:00 am to
12:00 am. Place your results in the Table below. Copy and paste your code in the report. (You
can use interior method, quadratic programming, or other methods)
b) Use Matlab/Excel to plot the total system cost ($/MWh) vs. the corresponding system demand.
c) Determine the cost savings ($/h) for the economic distribution of 300 MW between the 3 units –
compared with equal distribution of the same load.

Objective: To carry out unit commitment using whatever program you are familiar with (Matlab,
Excel, VB, VC, VC++, Java, etc.)
(4 Marks)
A power system consists of three generators. The coefficient values and loading limits of each
generator are tabulated below.

If the spinning reserve requirement is 5% of the system loading MW capacity, the minimum up and
down time is 2 hours for all units, determine the full generator schedule for the following system
demand over a 3 hours period.

Requirements
1) The assessment is made in accordance with the lab requirements above, combining both
report and code parts;
2) The report should be submitted in hardcopy before 31DEC. 2020. Unless with a valid reason
(such as a medical certificate) late submission will be penalized by 10% for each day late for
up to a maximum 50%. Late submission after the 5th day will not be accepted (0 marks);
3) Plagiarism and cheating will not be tolerated. If two reports have similar plots, results, and
codes etc., they may both get 0 marks and be reported to the school authority.
