Lecture_3_Economic dispatch solution including generator limits

The document discusses the economic dispatch solution for generating units while considering inequality constraints such as minimum and maximum power outputs. It explains how to adjust the solution when units reach their limits, ensuring that remaining units operate at equal incremental operating costs. An example illustrates the application of these constraints and provides a summary of the economic dispatch solution for varying power levels.

Economic dispatch solution including generator limits

EFFECT OF INEQUALITY CONSTRAINTS


Each generating unit must not operate above its rating or below some
minimum value. That is. Pimin , Pi , Pimax , i = 1, 2, …, N ….. (6.12.9)

Other inequality constraints also may be included in the economic


dispatch problem. For example, some unit outputs may be restricted so
that certain transmission lines or other equipment are not overloaded.
Also, under adverse weather conditions, generation at some units may be
limited to reduce emissions. When inequality constraints are included,
modify the economic dispatch solution as follows. If one or more units
reach their limit values, then these units are held at their limits, and the
remaining units operate at equal incremental operating cost 𝜆. The
incremental operating cost of the area equals the common l for the units
that are not at their limits.

EXAMPLE 6.19
Economic dispatch solution including generator limits Rework Example
6.18 if the units are subject to the following inequality constraints:
100 ≤P1 ≤600 MW
400 ≤P2 ≤1000 MW

Solution
At light loads, unit 2 operates at its lower limit of 400 MW, where its
incremental operating cost is dC2/dP2 = 15.2 $/MWh. Additional load
comes from unit 1 until dC1/dP1 = 15.2 $/MWh, or

For PT less than 725 MW, where P1 is less than 325 MW, the incremental
operating cost of the area is determined by unit 1 alone. At heavy loads,
unit 1 operates at its upper limit of 600 MW, where its incremental
operating cost is dC1/dP1 = 19.60 $/MWh. Additional load comes from unit
2 for all values of dC2/d P2 greater than 19.60 $/MWh. At dC2/dP2 = 19.60

$/MWh,
For PT greater than 1244 MW, where P2 is greater than 644 MW, the
incremental operating cost of the area is determined by unit 2 alone. For
725, PT, 1244 MW, neither unit has reached a limit value, and the
economic dispatch solution is the same as that given in Table 6.9. The
solution to this example is summarized in Table 6.10 for values of PT from
500 to 1500 MW.
