Economic operation is very important for a powersystem to return a profit on the capital invested. Rates fixed by regularity bodies and theimportance of conversation fuel place pressure
on power companies to achieve maximumpossible efficiency. Maximum efficiency minimizes the cost of KWhr to the consumer and the cost of the company to
deliver that KWhr in the face of constantly riseprices for fuel, labor, supplies and maintenance.

The unit consists of a single boiler thatgenerates steam to the turbine . Fuel isburned and its chemical energy is convertedinto heat. The heat is used to convert the
water into steam that enters that turbine toprovide a mechanical power on the shaft of synchronous generator. Finally, the mechanicalenergy is converted into electrical energy
through the synchronous generator.

In practice, ci is constructed of piecewise continuous
functions. The discontinuities may be due the firingof equipment such as additional boilers orcondensers as power output is increased.
It is convenient to express ci in terms of KJ/hr orBTU/hr, which is relatively constant over the lifetimeof unit, rather than $/hr which can change monthlyor daily.

Note: ! ci can be converted to $/hr by multiplying the fuel
input KJ/hr by the cost of fuel in $/KJ . ! BTU (British Thermal Unit): it is a unit of energy
equal to about 1055 J1BTU = 1.055 KJ
1KWhr = 3412 BTU

Unit incremental operating cost: ! It is defined as the derivatives (slope) of the unit
operating cost C i versus the unit output Pi .
! When C i consists only of fuel costs, dC i /dP i is calledThe Heat Rate . (BTU/KWhr)
! The reciprocal of the heat rate, which is the ratio
of output energy to input energy, gives a measureof fuel efficiency for the unit.

From the previous figure, maximum efficiency occurs atPi=600 MW.
Heat rate = C/P = ( 5.4*10^9 )/(600*10^3)= 9000 KJ/ Kwhr
= (9000 KJ/ Kw hr ) / (1.055 KJ/ BTU )= 8531 BTU/ KWhr
The efficiency at this output power;
= (1/ 9000) ( KWhr/ KJ )*(3413) ( BTU/ KWhr ) *(1.055) ( KJ/ BTU )= 40%

Effect of inequality Constraint If the inequality constraints are included, theeconomic dispatch should be modified. If theone or more units reach their limited value,
then these units are held constant at theirlimits and the remaining units operate atequal incremental operating cost.
The incremental operating cost of the area is !for the units that are not at their limits.

Effect of Transmission Losses on Economic
Dispatch Although one unit may be very efficient with alow incremental operating cost, it may also belocated far from the load centre.
In general, using generators closer to the loadresults in lower losses.
The transmission losses associated with this unitmay be so high that the economic dispatchsolution require the unit to decrease its outputwhile other units with higher incrementaloperating costs but low transmission lossesincreases their output.
