Economic Dispatch
A power system has several power plants. Each power plant has severalgenerating units. At any point of time, the total load in the system is metby the generating units in different power plants. Economic dispatchcontrol determines the power output of each power plant, and poweroutput of each generating unit within a power plant , which will minimizethe overall cost of fuel needed to serve the system load.
• We study first the most economical distribution of the output of apower plant between the generating units in that plant. The methodwe develop also applies to economic scheduling of plant outputsfor a given system load without considering the transmission loss.
• Next, we express the transmission loss as a function of output ofthe various plants.
Then, we determine how the output of each of the plants of a system isscheduled to achieve the total cost of generation minimum,simultaneously meeting the system load plus transmission loss.
*This section describes how the real power output of each controlledgenerating unit in an area is selected to meet a given load to minimize thetotal operating cost in the area.*The input to the thermal plant is generally measured in BTU/h and theoutput is measure by MW.

- the BTu/h is the British temperature unit and it is the unit of measure theamount of heat in order to generate the electrical power in thermal plant.*Fig. (1) show a simplified input- output cure of a thermal unit known asa heat- rate .

*There are two type of cost1-Fixed cost :. Such as the capital cost of the installing the unit wages and salaries ….. etc.2- Running cost :.Such as fuel cost, maintenance and repair ….. etc.
* only those cost ( Running cost ) that deals with fuel are function of unitpower output- that is, those cost that can be controlled by operatingstrategy- enter into the economic dispatch formulation.

*It is often convenient to express C interims of BTu which is relativelyconstant over the life time of the unit rate than which can changemonthly or daily due to the price of fuel .* can be converted to by multiplying the fuel input in BTU/ h bythe cost of fuel in
Converting the ordinate of heat- rate carve from to result inthe fuel – cost curve as shown in fig.*The fuel cost of generator can be represented as quadratic function ofreal power generation
