Abstract:
In practical scenario, power plants are located at different distances from load centers and
thus their fuel costs are different.Consequently, economic load dispatch is crucial to the
operation of a power system in order to generate a profit on the invested capital. The basic
objective of economic operation of power system in an inter-connected system is to distribute
the total power generated in between the various zones & various units such that the delivery
cost of power is kept at minimum. In this paper we use the Power World Simulator for
analyzing the Optimal Power flow (OPF) through a 9-bus system considering the
transmission losses & keeping in view the aim of minimizing fuel costs. Optimal Power Flow
is attained by reducing a multitude of objective functions while maintaining acceptable
system performance in terms of generator transfer capacity.
