line, are given by

2
H 1=8 P 1+ 0.024 P1 +80

Where; H = fuel input to unit n in MBtu per hour (millions of Btu per hour)

P = unit output in megawatts

a. Plot the input-output characteristics for each unit expressing input in MBtu per hour
and output in megawatts. Assume that the minimum loading of each unit is 20 MW and
that the maximum loading is 100 MW.

b. Calculate the net heat rate in Btu per kilowatt-hour, and plot against output in
megawatts.

in F/MWh of each unit, and plot against output in megawatts.

P3.2.) Dispatch with Three-Segment Piecewise Linear Incremental Heat Rate Function

Given: two generating units with incremental heat rate (IHR) curves specified as three
connected line segments (four points as shown in Figure A1).

Unit 1: Unit 2:

Point MW IHR (Btu/kWh) Point MW IHR (Btu/kWh)

1 100 7,000 1 150 7500

2 200 8,200 2 275 7700

3 300 8,900 3 390 8100

4 400 11,000 4 450 8500

Fuel cost for unit 1 = 1.60$/MBtu Fuel cost for unit 2 = 2.10
$/MBtu

Both units are running. Calculate the optimum schedule (i.e., the unit megawatt output
for each unit) for various total megawatt values to be supplied by the units. Find the
schedule for these total megawatt values:
300MW, 500MW, 700MW, 840MW

Notes: Piecewise linear increment cost curves are quite common in digital computer
executions of economic dispatch. The problem is best solved by using a “search”
technique. In such a technique, the incremental cost is given a value and the units are
scheduled to meet this incremental cost. The megawatt outputs for the units are added
together and compared to the desired total. Depending on the difference, and whether
the resulting total is above or below the desired total, a new value of incremental cost is
“tried.” This is repeated until the incremental cost is found that gives the correct desired
value. The trick is to search in an efficient manner so that the number of iterations is
minimized.

SOLUTION

First, change the values of IHR to incremental cost (λ)

Btu/KWh =Btu/1000Wh=MBtu/MWh = (Btu /1000000)/(kWh/1000)= Btu//kWh x10⁻³

Increment unit cost (λ) $/MWh = Increment heat rate IHR Btu (/KWh) x x10⁻³ x Fuel
cost

Sing above relation for calculating the increment unit cost is calculated for unit1 and
tabulated bellow:

Case 1: two units are on line.

For 18:00 hrs to 06:00 hrs

For ceonomic operation:

or, 8+0.048P1 = 6+0.08P2

or, 0.048P1-0.08P2=-2 ..........1

and P1+P2 = 50 ............2

Solving equation 1 and 2

P1 = 15.625 MW

P2 = 34.375 MW

As P1 can not be lower than 20 mW

So, P1 = 20 MW and P2 = 50 - 20 = 30 MW

So, Total fuel cost for 12 hrs = {(8*20 + 0.024*202 + 80) + (6 * 30 +


0.04*302 + 120)} MBtu/Hrs * 1.5 $/ MBtu * 12 hrs = 249.6 * 1.5 *12 =
10540.8 $

For 06:00 hrs to 18:00 hrs

For ceonomic operation:

or, 8+0.048P1 = 6+0.08P2

or, 0.048P1-0.08P2=-2 ..........1

and P1+P2 = 150 ............2

Solving equation 1 and 2


P1 = 78.125 MW

P2 = 71.875 MW

So, Total fuel cost for 12 hrs = {(8*78.125 + 0.024*78.1252 + 80) + (6


* 71.875 + 0.04*71.8752 + 120)} MBtu/Hrs * 1.5 $/ MBtu * 12 hrs =
28968.75 $

Case 2: one unit on line.

For 18:00 hrs to 06:00 hrs

As incremental cost for unit 1 is lower, unit 2 will be shut down for 12
hrs

So, Total cost for 12 hrs including $ 180 for start up of unit 2 = (8*50 +
0.024*502 + 80) MBtu/Hrs * 1.5 $/ MBtu * 12 hrs + 180 = 9900 $

as this cost is lower than that of when two units run for 24 hrs

So, it is economical to run unit1 for 18:00 hrs to 06:00 hrs.

b]

Economical scheduling for 06:00 hrs to 18:00 hrs:

For ceonomic operation:

or, 8+0.048P1 = 6+0.08P2

or, 0.048P1-0.08P2=-2 ..........1

and P1+P2 = 150 ............2

Solving equation 1 and 2

P1 = 78.125 MW

P2 = 71.875 MW (ANS)
c]

As it is economical to run unit1 for 18:00 hrs to 06:00 hrs.

So,

P1 =50 MW

P2 = 0 MW (ANS)

economic dispatch schedules as requested in each part. Use the method and starting
conditions given.

H3 = 400 + 7.5P3 + 0.0025P₃² 47.5 450 0.90

a. Use the lambda-iteration method to find the economic dispatch for a total demand of
450 MW.

b. Use the base-point and participation factor method to find the economic schedule for
a demand of 495 MW. Start from the solution to part a.

As the segments as linear for power unit 1,2&3 equation of increment heat per output
segments are found using the formula (IHR2-IHR1)/(P2-P1=(IHR2-IHR)/(P2-P), from
data given for each unit at each power segment has been found and tabulated bellow:

Demand is distributed between generators for each of system demands, 300, 460, 500
&650 MW and costs/ hour are calculated using formulas above for each unit demands
segments. Loading on generating units are increased to satisfy the total demand such
that ƩPᵢ=PD costs rates are calculated the minimum of total cost is considered as the
units commitments.

Starting at the West Coast, we can see that the least cost paths begin
at

The cost from San Francisco(SF) to B1 = 4

The cost from San Diego(SD) to C1 = 3

Considering B1, the next path incurring least cost is from B1 to B2 = 2

So far, from SF to B2, the cost is 4+2=6

Considering C1, the path incurring least cost among all paths emerging
from C1 is from C1 to B2 = 4

So far, from SD to B2, the cost is 3+4=7

Thus we see that the cost is lesser from SF to B2.


Also, among the paths emerging from A1, B1 and C1 we see that there
is no path with lesser price than 2 which is between B1 and B2. Thus,
SF to B2, which uses this path is the most feasible among all sites on
the West Coast.

So, continuing with SF to B2(costs 6):

B2 to B3 costs 7,

B3 to Savannah(S) costs 8. B2 to S costs 15

B2 to C3 costs 6,

C3 to Savannah(S) costs 10. B2 to S costs 16.

Thus, B2 to S costs the least at 15

SF to S is thus 6+15=21

So the least cost path is from San Francisco to Savannah at $21*10^8

Now :-

For D = 100 MW

P1 = 40 MW , P2 = 40 MW , P3 = 20 MW

∴ F1 = 657.6 , F2 = 636 , F3 = 370

$
∴ Σ F 1 + F2 + F 3=657.6+636 +370=1663.6
h

For D = 140 MW

P1 = 60 MW , P2 = 60 MW , P3 = 20 MW

∴ F1 = 969.6 , F2 = 985.9815 , F3 = 370

$
∴ Σ F 1 + F2 + F 3=¿ 969.6 + 985.9815 + 370 = 2325.5815
h

For D = 180 MW

P1 = 80 MW , P2 = 60 MW , P3 = 40 MW

∴ F1 = 1374.6 , F2 = 985.9815 , F3 = 750

$
∴ Σ F 1 + F2 + F 3=¿ 1374.6 + 985.9815 + 750 = 3110.5815
h
For D = 220 MW

P1 = 80 MW , P2 = 80 MW , P3 = 60 MW

∴ F1 = 1374.6 , F2 = 1435.9665 , F3 = 1194.99

$
∴ Σ F 1 + F2 + F 3=¿ 1374.6 + 1435.9665 + 1194.99 = 4005.5565
h

For D = 260 MW

P1 = 100 MW , P2 = 80 MW , P3 = 80 MW

∴ F1 = 1869.6 , F2 = 1435.9665 , F3 = 1674.99

$
∴ Σ F 1 + F2 + F 3=¿ 1869.6 + 1435.9665 + 1674.99= 4980.5565

D)

YES, by using Lagrange method:-

As we see from the solution by using D.P that for D = 100 MW unit one operate at P 1 =
40 MW & unit 2 , P2 = 40 , P3 = 20 MW for that the Heat rate curve for each unit will
be:-

2
unit 1 :- H 1 (P¿¿ 1)=80+8 P1 +0.024 P1 20 MW ≤ P1 ≤60 MW ¿

unit 2 :- H 2 (P¿¿ 2)=120+6 P2 +0.04 P22 20 MW ≤ P2 ≤ 40 MW ¿

2
unit 3 :- H 3 (P¿¿ 3)=100+ 4.6666 P3+ 0.13333 P3 20 MW ≤ P 3 ≤ 50 MW ¿

$
Fuel cost = 1.5
MBtu

2 $
∴ F 1 ( P¿¿ 1)=120+12 P 1+ 0.036 P1 ¿
h

2 $
∴ F 2 (P¿¿ 2)=180+9 P2 +0.06 P2 ¿
h

2 $
∴ F 3 (P¿¿ 3)=150+ 6.9999 P3 +0.199995 P3 ¿

The incremental cost for each unit :-


∂ F1 $
=12+ 0.072 P1 =λ−−−−−−−−(1)
∂ P1 MWh

∂ F2 $
=9 +0.12 P2 = λ−−−−−−−−(2)
∂ P2 MWh

∂ F3 $
=6.9999 +0.39999 P 3 = λ−−−−−−−−(3)
∂ P3 MWh

P1 + P2 + P3 = 100 MW−−−−−−−−( 4)

∴ 12 + 0.072 P1 = 9 + 0.12 P2 ………. P2 = 25 + 0.6 P1

12 + 0.07 P1 = 6.9999 + 0.39999 P3 ……… P3 = 12.50056 + 0.1800045 P1

∴ P1 + 25 + 0.6 P1 + 12.50056 + 0.1800045 P1 = 100 MW

P1 = 35.111956 MW

P3 = 12.50056 + 0.1800045 × 35.111956 = 18.82 MW

P2 = 25 + 0.6 × 35.111956 = 46.067

We see that P3 not within the limit then we will change its Heat rate curve and take the
second one:-

H 2 (P¿¿ 2)=157.335+3.3333 P2+ 0.08333 P22 ¿

2
∴ F 2 ( P¿¿ 2)=236.0025+ 4.99995 P2 +0.124995 P2 ¿

∂ F1
=12+ 0.072 P1= λ
∂ P1

∂ F2
=4.99995 +0.24999 P2=λ
∂ P2

∂ F3
=6.9999 +0.39999 P 3=λ
∂ P3

∴P1 + P2 + P3 = 100 MW

∴ 12+0.072 P1=4.99995+0.24999 P2 … … … . P2 =28.00132005+ 0.2880115205 P1

12+ 0.072 P1=6.9999+ 0.39999 P3 … … … … P3=12.50056251+0.1800045 P 1

∴ P 1 + 28.00132005+0.2880115 P1+ 12.50056251+ 0.1800045001 P1=100


∴ P 1 = 40.5296 MW ≠ 20 MW

P2=28.00132005+0.2880115 × 40.5296=39.674 MW

P3=12.50056251+0.1800045 P1=19.796 MW

∴P1 + P2 + P3 = 99.999 MW ≈ 100 MW

$
∴ λ = 12 + 0.72 × 40.5296 = 14.9181
