Traditionally electric power system are operated in such a way that the total fuel cost is minimized regardless of accounting for tie-lines transmission constraint and emissions produced. But tie-lines transmission and emissions constraint are very important issues in the operation and planning of electric power system. This paper presents the Two-Phase Neural Network(TPNN) to solve the Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) problem with tie-lines transmission and emissions constraint considering transmission losses. The transmission losses are obtained from the B-coefficient which approximate the system losses as s quadratic function of the real power generation. By applying the proposed algorithm to the test system, the usefulness of this algorithm is verified.

The economic dispatch problem is important in both power system planning and operation, although there have been major advances in defining and solving more complete Optimal Power Flow(OPF) problems, there exists a need for constrained economic dispatch techniques which, though not as rigorous or as exact an OPF, are fast enough to be used on desktop computers. This paper presents a DC-OPF algorithm that is based upon Relative-Contribution Index in Generators. The transmission constraints are modeled as linear constraint based on a DC-Power-Flow model. An detailed illustrative example is presented.

This paper presents a technique that can obtain an optimal solution for the Security-Constrained Economic Dispatch (SCED) problems using the Interior Point Method (IPM) while taking into account of the power flow constraints. The SCED equations are formulated by using only the real power flow equations from the optimal power flow. Then an algorithm is presented that can linearize the SCED equations based on the relationships among generation real power outputs, loads, and transmission losses to obtain the optimal solutions by applying the linear programming (LP) technique. Finally, the application of the Primal Interior Point Method (PIPM) for solving the optimization problem based on the proposed linearized objective function is presented. The results are compared with the Simplex Method and the Promising results ard obtained.

This paper develops an efficient evolutionary programming based algorithm for solving the environmentally constrained economic dispatch problem in thermal power system. The proposed algorithm can deal with the power balance constraints and the emission constraints which are equality and inequality constraints, respectively. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm can provide superior solutions within reasonable time through its application to a test system.

In this paper, we propose the generalized on-line economic dispatch algorithm including transmission loss. it was derived from the process developing matrix form of the classic ELD problem. it can rapidly calculate generation power using transmission loss and transmission loss sensitivity calculated from the result of power flow analysis. Transmission loss sensitivity ${\partial}P_{loss}/{\partial}P_G$ is derived using optimization technique.

One of the recurring problems facing energy control center dispatchers each day is how to operate the system during the periods of high load pick up and fluctuation. This method reduces the problem to a forward - revised by backward - sequence of dispatch problem, with the generator Limits being carefully adjusted between each time interval in the total intervals to be optimized. It is applied to system of 31 units. It is observed that the method presented here achieves that generation fellows the load changes without any mismatch.

This paper presents a new method for optimal real and reactive power dispatch for the economic operation of a power system. Unlike the usual approach of minimizing the transmission loss, this method minimizes the total production cost not only for the real power optimization problem, but also for the reactive power optimization. The control variables are real power generation of units for real power optimization, and reactive power optimization. The constraints are the operating limits on these control variables and the limits on the bus voltages. Methematical models are developed to represent the sensitivity relationships between dependent and control variables for both real and reactive power optimization modules, and thus eliminate the use of B-coefficients. In order to handle many functional inequality constraints, a modified version of the gradient projection method is developed for optimization procedure, and has shown a remarkable advantage in computation efficiency.

This paper presents an efficient approach for solving the economic dispatch (ED) problems with valve-point effects using differential evolution (DE). A DE, one of the evolutionary algorithms (EAs), is a novel optimization method capable of handling nonlinear, non-differentiable, and nonconvex functions. And an efficient constraints treatment method (CTM) is applied to handle the equality and inequality constraints. The resultant DE-CTM algorithm is very effective in solving the ED problems with nonconvex cost functions. To verify the superiority of the proposed method, a sample ED problem with valve-point effects is tested and its results are compared with those of previous works. The simulation results clearly show that the proposed DE-CTM algorithm outperforms other state-of-the-art algorithms in solving ED problems with valve-point effects

This paper presents the Improved Pre-prepared Power Demand (IPPD) table and Muller's method as a means of solving the Profit Based Unit Commitment (PBUC) problem. In a deregulated environment, generation companies (GENCOs) schedule their generators to maximize profits rather than to satisfy power demand. The PBUC problem is solved by the proposed approach in two stages. Initially, information concerning committed units is obtained by the IPPD table and then the subprob-lem of Economic Dispatch (ED) is solved using Muller's method. The proposed approach has been tested on a power system with 3 and 10 generating units. Simulation results of the proposed approach have been compared with existing methods and also with traditional unit commitment. It is observed from the simulation results that the proposed algorithm provides maximum profit with less computational time compared to existing methods.

The eventual goal of this paper is to help the generating companies and load-serving entities to choose appropriate relative levels of interconnected system versus bilateral trades while considering risk, and economic performance. In competitive power markets, electricity prices are determined by balance between demand and supply in electric power exchanges or bilateral contracts. The problem formulation is bilateral contract incorporated into Multi-area unit commitment with import/export and tie-line constraints. This proposed method considers maximizing own profit or minimize the operating cost among the generating companies in multi-area system. The feasibility of the proposed algorithm has been demonstrated using IEEE system with four areas and experimental results shows that proposed method is reliable, fast and computationally efficient
