Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) focuses on distributing power generation across multiple plants to meet electricity demand at the lowest cost while respecting operational limits. It's a critical problem in power systems, ensuring both efficiency and reliability.
This MATLAB program automates the tedious process of manual ELD calculations by using an iterative optimization algorithm. It dynamically adjusts power outputs step-by-step to achieve optimal results, always respecting generator constraints. The program is scalable and robust, capable of handling small setups and large, complex systems seamlessly.
- Reduces human errors by automating precise, optimal power distribution.
- Handles models from 3 to 10+ generators effectively, maintaining high accuracy and scalability.
- Adapts reliably to constraint violations, ensuring feasible and realistic solutions.
Future enhancements will incorporate real-world complexities like transmission losses and penalty factors. With these improvements, the algorithm can adapt to dynamic loads and renewable energy integration, making it a versatile tool for modern power grids.
