Two units, rated at 100 MW and 150 MW, are enabled for economic load dispatch. When the overall incremental cost is 10,000 Rs./MWh, the units are dispatched to 50 MW and 80 MW resp...

The fuel cost functions in rupees/hour for two 600 MW thermal power plants are given by Plant 1 : C 1 = 350 + 6P 1 + 0.004P$$_1^2$$ Plant 2 : C 2 = 450 + aP 2 + 0.003P$$_2^2$$ wher...

Consider the economic dispatch problem for a power plant having two generating units. The fuel costs in $$Rs/MWh$$ along with the generation limits for the two units are given belo...
