Load Frequency Control of Single Area System: Let us consider the problem of controlling the power output of the generators of a closely knit electric area so as to maintain the scheduled frequency. All the…
Turbo Generator Excitation System: Power system operation considered so far was under conditions of steady load. However, both active and reactive power demands are never steady and they continually change with the rising or falling…
Optimal Scheduling of Hydrothermal Processes: The earlier sections have dealt with the problem of optimal scheduling of a power system with thermal plants only. Optimal operating policy in this case can be completely determined at…
Optimal Load Flow Solution: The problem of optimal real power dispatch has been treated in the earlier section using the approximate loss formula. This section presents the more general problem of real and reactive power…
Derivation of Transmission Loss Formula: An accurate method of obtaining a general derivation of transmission loss formula has been given by Kron. This, however, is quite complicated. The aim of this article is to give…
Optimum Generation Scheduling: Optimum Generation Scheduling - From the unit commitment table of a given plant, the fuel cost curve of the plant can be determined in the form of a polynomial of suitable degree…
Reliability Consideration in Power System: With the increasing dependence of industry, agriculture and day-to-day household comfort upon the continuity of electric supply, the Reliability Consideration in Power System has assumed great importance. Every electric utility…
Optimal Unit Commitment (UC): As is evident, it is not economical to run all the units available all the time. To determine the units of a plant that should operate for a particular load is…
Optimal Operation of Generators on a Bus Bar: Optimal Operation of Generators on a Bus Bar - The major component of generator operating cost is the fuel input/hour, while maintenance contributes only to a small…
Introduction to Optimal System Operation: The optimal system operation, in general, involved the consideration of economy of operation, system security, emissions at certain fossil-fuel plants, optimal releases of water at hydro generation, etc. All these…
