Dynamic Economic Dispatch by Equal Embedded Algorithm

In this paper, equal embedded algorithm is used to solve dynamic economic dispatch problem. This problem satisfies the load demand over a certain period of time and some practical operation constraints of generators such as ramp rate limits. The proposed method was tested on a power system having 6 and 15 generating units with ramp rate limits. The results obtained by the proposed method were compared with lambda iterative method and particle swarm optimization method. The simulation results showed that the proposed method achieved qualitative solution with less computational time
