This document summarizes key concepts regarding economic dispatch of power systems. It discusses how different generation technologies have varying capital and operating costs. Thermal generator costs are typically represented by input/output, fuel cost, heat rate, and incremental cost curves. The incremental cost curve, which plots the incremental cost per MWh as a function of output, is used to determine the optimal dispatch of generators to minimize total operating costs while meeting demand. Formulas for approximating generator cost curves with quadratic functions are also presented.

The problem of power system optimization has become a deciding factor in electrical power system engineering practice with emphasis on cost and emission reduction. The economic emission dispatch (EED) problem has been addressed in this paper using a Biogeography-based optimization (BBO). The BBO is inspired by geographical distribution of species within islands. This optimization algorithm works on the basis of two concepts-migration and mutation. In this paper a non-uniform mutation operator has been employed. The proposed technique shows better diversified search process and hence finds solutions more accurately with high convergence rate. The BBO with new mutation operator is tested on ten unit system. The comparison which is based on efficiency, reliability and accuracy shows that proposed mutation operator is competitive to the present one.

The document discusses how gas combined heat and power (CHP) is a cost-effective option for facilities facing the EPA's Boiler MACT compliance rules. CHP can help facilities reduce emissions and operating costs compared to installing pollution controls on existing boilers or switching to natural gas boilers.

Overall, the document argues that gas CHP is a superior compliance approach compared to traditional options under the Boiler MACT rules.
This chapter will focus on the optimization and security of a power system. basically it will focus on economic dispatch analysis without considering transmission line losses.

A high-Speed Communication System is based on the Design of a Bi-NoC Router, ...DharmaBanothu
The Network on Chip (NoC) has emerged as an effective
solution for intercommunication infrastructure within System on
Chip (SoC) designs, overcoming the limitations of traditional
methods that face significant bottlenecks. However, the complexity
of NoC design presents numerous challenges related to
performance metrics such as scalability, latency, power
consumption, and signal integrity. This project addresses the
issues within the router's memory unit and proposes an enhanced
memory structure. To achieve efficient data transfer, FIFO buffers
are implemented in distributed RAM and virtual channels for
FPGA-based NoC. The project introduces advanced FIFO-based
memory units within the NoC router, assessing their performance
in a Bi-directional NoC (Bi-NoC) configuration. The primary
objective is to reduce the router's workload while enhancing the
FIFO internal structure. To further improve data transfer speed,
a Bi-NoC with a self-configurable intercommunication channel is
suggested. Simulation and synthesis results demonstrate
guaranteed throughput, predictable latency, and equitable
network access, showing significant improvement over previous
designs

Mathematical Formulation of Costs
Generator cost curves are usually not smooth.
However the curves can usually be adequately
approximated using piece-wise smooth, functions.
Two representations predominate
– quadratic or cubic functions
– piecewise linear functions

Coal
• Four Types of Coal
• Anthracite (15,000 Btu/lb), Eastern Pennsylvania; used
mostly for heating because of its high value and cost
• Bituminous (10,500 to 15,000 Btu/lb), most plentiful in
US, used extensively in electric power industry; mined in
Eastern US including Southern Illinois.
• Subbitunminous (8300 to 11,500 Btu/lb), most plentiful
in Western US (Power River Basin in Wyoming); used in
electric power industry
• Lignite or brown coal (4000 to 8300 Btu/lb), used in
electric power industry
• Coals differ in impurities such as sulfur content

Coal Prices
Source: US EIA
At $50 per ton and 11,800 Btu/lb, Illinois coal costs $2.12/Mbtu.
Transportation by rail is around $0.03/ton/mile

Coal Usage Example
A 500 MW (net) generator is 35% efficient. It is being
supplied with Western grade coal, which costs $1.70
per MBtu and has 9000 Btu per pound. What is the
coal usage in lbs/hr? What is the cost?
At 35% efficiency required fuel input per hour is
500 MWh 1428 MWh 1 MBtu 4924 MBtu

Wasting Coal Example
Assume a 100W lamp is left on by mistake for 8
hours, and that the electricity is supplied by the
previous coal plant and that transmission/distribution
losses are 20%. How much irreplaceable coal has
he/she wasted?
With 20% losses, a 100W load on for 8 hrs requires
1 kWh of energy. With 35% gen. efficiency this requires

Economic Dispatch: Formulation
The goal of economic dispatch is to determine the
generation dispatch that minimizes the
instantaneous operating cost, subject to the
constraint that total generation = total load + losses

Unconstrained Minimization
This is a minimization problem with a single
equality constraint
For an unconstrained minimization a necessary (but
not sufficient) condition for a minimum is the
gradient of the function must be zero,
The gradient generalizes the first derivative for
multi-variable problems:

Minimization with Equality Constraint
When the minimization is constrained with an
equality constraint we can solve the problem using
the method of Lagrange Multipliers
Key idea is to modify a constrained minimization
problem to be an unconstrained problem
That is, for the general problem
minimize ( ) s.t. ( )
We define the Lagrangian L( , ) ( ) ( )
Then a necessary condition for a minimum is the

Lambda-Iteration Solution Method
The direct solution only works well if the
incremental cost curves are linear and no generators
are at their limits
A more general method is known as the lambda-
iteration
– the method requires that there be a unique mapping
between a value of lambda and each generator’s MW
output
– the method then starts with values of lambda below and
above the optimal value, and then iteratively brackets the
optimal value

Generator MW Limits
Generators have limits on the minimum and
maximum amount of power they can produce
Often times the minimum limit is not zero. This
represents a limit on the generator’s operation with
the desired fuel type
Because of varying system economics usually many
generators in a system are operated at their
maximum MW limits.

Back of Envelope Values
Often times incremental costs can be approximated
by a constant value:
– $/MWhr = fuelcost * heatrate + variable O&M
– Typical heatrate for a coal plant is 10, modern
combustion turbine is 10, combined cycle plant is 7 to 8,
older combustion turbine 15.
– Fuel costs ($/MBtu) are quite variable, with current
values around 1.5 for coal, 4 for natural gas, 0.5 for
nuclear, probably 10 for fuel oil.
– Hydro, solar and wind costs tend to be quite low, but for
this sources the fuel is free but limited
