Economic Load Distribution between Thermal Power Plants and Studying the Changes of Parameters

The complexity of communication and the size of different areas of power systems are increasing, and the development of the power system requires the optimal allocation of electric power produced by a large number of system generators. Electric energy production in power systems is one of the most important issues in modern systems, along with minimizing the total production cost of the generator units in the power system. Economic load distribution is a common optimization problem in power systems. In this article, the economic distribution of the load between the production units has been done by limiting the minimum and maximum power range between the generator units. To carry out the economic distribution of the load, the repetition method of the Lagrange coefficient is used. To show the study data, the simulation results for a power system with two production units and taking into account losses and a power system with three production units and without losses are presented. Distinct fuel functions are considered for the units in the study.
