Economic dispatch with non-monotonically increasing incremental cost units and transmission system losses

Abstract

Economic dispatch problems, in the presence of nonmonotonically increasing incremental cost generating units, is solved by use of the Newton approach. A linear transmission loss model, which is based on load flow solutions, is established and incorporated into the economic dispatch problem. Test results show that a fast convergence can be achieved by using this approach.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
