Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) Simulator

Power Sharing & Total Cost Optimization for 3 Thermal Generating Units

1. Plant Cost Coefficients & Capacity Limits (Cost Equation: Fi = aiPi² + biPi + ci [INR/hr])

Plant ai (INR/MW²-hr) bi (INR/MW-hr) ci (INR/hr) Pmin (MW) Pmax (MW)
Plant 1
Plant 2
Plant 3

2. Total Demand & Power Allocation Controls

MW

Adjust power sliders manually to observe how arbitrary power sharing increases cost compared to optimal ELD:

Total Generation Matches Demand

3. Economic Dispatch Results

TOTAL GENERATION COST
₹ 0.00 / hr
Plant 1 Cost (F1)
₹ 0.00 / hr
IC1: 0.0 INR/MW-hr
Plant 2 Cost (F2)
₹ 0.00 / hr
IC2: 0.0 INR/MW-hr
Plant 3 Cost (F3)
₹ 0.00 / hr
IC3: 0.0 INR/MW-hr
Incremental Cost (IC = dF/dP): At optimal dispatch, Incremental Costs for all non-bounded generators become equal ($\lambda$).
