There are three units in the system; all are on-line. Their input-
output characteristics are not smooth nor convex. Data are as follows.
Scheduling units 1 and 2, we find the minimum cost for the function
over the allowable range of P2 and for 100 ≦ D ≦ 350 MW. The search data
are given in the table below. We need to save the cost for serving each value of
D that is minimal and the load level on unit 2 for each demand level.
for 50 ≦ P3 ≦ 175 MW and D = 300 and 325 MW. Scheduling the third
unit for the two different demand levels only requires two rows of the next
table.
so that between the 300 and 325 MW demand levels, the marginal unit is unit
2. (That is, it is picking up all of the additional demand increase between 300
and 325 MW.)
We can, therefore, interpolate to find the cost at a load level of 310 MW,
or an output level on unit 2 of 110 MW. The results for a demand level of 310
MW are:
If the generators are large steam generator units, they will not be allowed
to change generation output above a prescribed "maximum rate limit" of
so many megawatts per minute.
Given a load to be supplied at time increments t = 1 ... tmax, with load levels
of Ptload and N generators on-line to supply the load:
