  1. Module E3-b Economic Dispatch (continued)

  2. Continuing from the previous two gen example, let’s consider what happens if the demand is increased from PT=400 MW to PT= 550 MW. First, we need to solve it with only equality constraints. The LaGrangian function is:

  3. KKT conditions are

  4. P1 is within limits, but P2 exceeds its 200 MW upper limit. So…...

  5. Constraint associated with the complementarity cdt: is binding: P2-200=0 (an equality constraint! ==> P2=200.) Therefore the mu2 multiplier will not be zero (but all other mu multipliers will still be zero, since the corresponding inside term will NOT be zero).

  6. So the new LaGrangian function is:

  7. KKT conditions become

  8. Rewrite the equations in preparation for putting into matrix form.

  9. All constraints are satisfied therefore this is the solution.

  10. What is the meaning of mu? Recall that we interpreted lambda as the cost of “increasing” the RHS of the equality constraint by 1 MW for an hour. Let’s see if mu is the cost of increasing the RHS of the corresponding inequality constraint by 1 MW for an hour. So let’s let the upper bound of P2 be 201 MW.

  11. Get total cost corresponding to P2max=200.

  12. Refer back to our solution without any inequality constraints. We obtained And this also violates P2max<201 MW. So we can use the set-up we already developed for bringing in this constraint, except we simply change from 200 to 201.

  13. Get total costs corresponding to this solution.

  14. The total costs changed from $4161.23 to $4157.89. Which is almost the same as the mu2 multiplier. Implication is that if we increase P2max to 201 MW, we can save $3.34

  15. A fundamental EDC concept: Consider the first KKT condition: If all gens are regulating, then IC1 = IC2 = … = ICi = lambda

  16. At the optimal (min cost) solution, all regulating generators (those not at their limits) will have the same incremental cost, IC=dC/dP which will be lambda.

  17. This gives rise to the graphical solution method.
