Two stage approach for economic power dispatch / Muhammad Amirul Fadli Razali

This thesis studies an alternative approach to improve the economic power dispatch on operation of the power system. The proposed economic power dispatch method consists of two stages. The first stage involves the economic dispatch without considering the losses, where the second stage involves the economic dispatch considering the losses. The determination of two stage economic power dispatch of data is based on the real power generations and general constraint involved. The proposed method was tested on the system of three and six generating units. The results show the two stage economic dispatch can improve the system by minimizing the total fuel consumption or the total cost function in the system.
