Single Phase Half Wave Rectifier with R & RL load

Aim:

To simulate the 1 half controlled rectifier circuit with R & RL load and obtain the
corresponding waveforms using MATLAB/SIMULINK.

Formulae used:

Average dc voltage, Vdc=Vm(1+cos) (volts)

Rms output voltage,Vrms=Vm ((-)+sin2/2)1/2 (volts)
2
Average output current, Idc=Vdc/R (Amps)
RMS output current, Irms=Vrms/R (Amps)
Where,
Vm is the maximum input voltage
is the firing angle of the SCR.
Operation:
The phase controlled rectifiers using SCRs are used to obtain controlled dc output voltages from
the fixed ac mains input voltage. The circuit diagram of a half controlled converter is shown in
Figure 1. The output voltage is varied by controlling the firing angle of SCRs. The single phase
half controlled converter consists of two SCRs and two diodes. During positive half cycle, SCR1
and Diode 2 are forward biased. Current flows through the load when SCR1 is triggered into
conduction. During negative half cycle, SCR3 and D1 are forward biased. If the load is resistive,
the load voltage and load current are similar.
If the load is inductive, the current will continue to flow even when the supply voltage
reverses polarity due to the stored energy in the inductor. At the end of positive half cycle, D2 is
reverse biased and D1 is forward biased. As SCR1 is not turned off the freewheeling current due
to the stored energy in the inductor will flow through the diode D1 and SCR1. When SCR3 is
triggered, the current gets transferred from SCR1 to SCR3. Load current now flows from supply
via SCR3, load and D4. At the end of negative half cycle, the freewheeling current will flow
through the diode D2 and SCR3.

Single Phase Full Wave Rectifier with R & RL Load

Aim:

To simulate the 1 fully Controlled rectifier circuit with R & RL load and obtain the
corresponding waveforms using MATLAB/SIMULINK.

Formulae used:
Average dc voltage, Vdc=Vm(1+cos) (volts)

Rms output voltage,Vrms=Vm ((-)+sin2/2)1/2 (volts)
2
Average output current, Idc=Vdc/R (Amps)
RMS output current, Irms=Vrms/R (Amps)
Where,
Vm is the maximum input voltage
is the firing angle of the SCR.
Operation:
The phase controlled rectifiers using SCRs are used to obtain controlled dc output voltages from
the fixed ac mains input voltage. The circuit diagram of a fully controlled converter is shown in
Figure 2. The output voltage is varied by controlling the firing angle of SCRs. The single phase
fully controlled converter consists of four SCRs. During positive half cycle, SCR1 and SCR 2
are forward biased. Current flows through the load when SCR1 and SCR2 is triggered into
conduction. During negative half cycle, SCR3 and SCR4 are forward biased. If the load is
resistive, the load voltage and load current are similar.
When the load is inductive, SCR1 and SCR2 conduct from to . The nature of the load
current depends on the values of R and L in the inductive load. Because of the inductance, the
load current keeps on increasing and becomes maximum at . At , the supply voltage reverses
but SCRs 1 and 2 does not turn off. This is because the load inductance does not allow the
current to go to zero instantly. Thus the energy stored in the inductance flows against the supply
mains. The output voltage is negative from to + since supply voltage is negative.

Three Phase Fully controlled Rectifier with R & RL Load

Aim:

To simulate the 3 fully Controlled rectifier circuit with R & RL load and obtain the
corresponding waveforms using MATLAB/SIMULINK

Theory:

The three phase full bridge converter works as three phase AC-DC converter for firing angle
delay 00<900 and as three phase line commutated inverter for 900<<1800. The numbering of
SCRs 1, 3, 5 for the positive group and 2, 4, 6 for negative group. This numbering scheme is
adopted here as it agrees with the sequence of gating of six thyristors in a 3-phase full converter.
Here each SCR is conduct for 1200. At any time two SCRs, one from positive group and
other from negative group must conduct together and this combination must conduct for 600.this
means commutation occurs for every 600. For ABC phase sequence of three phase supply
thyristors conduct in pairs: T1 and T2, T2 and T3, T3 and T4, T4 and T5, T5 and T6, T6 and T1.

SINGLE PHASE AC VOLTAGE REGULATOR

Aim:
To simulate the 1 AC voltage regulator circuit and obtain the suitable waveforms using
MATLAB/SIMULINK

Theory:
AC regulators are used to get variable AC voltage from the fixed mains voltage. Some of the
important applications of AC regulators are: domestic and industrial heating, induction heating in
metallurgical industries, induction motor speed control for fan and pump drives, transformer tap
changers in utility systems, static reactive power compensators, lighting control etc., Earlier, auto
transformers, transformers with taps and magnetic amplifiers were employed in these
applications because of high efficiency, compact size, flexibility in control etc. Two thyristors in
anti parallel are employed for full wave control. In this case, isolation between control and power
circuit is most essential because of the fact that the cathodes of the two thyristors are connected
to the common point. For low power applications, a triac may be used. In this case isolation
between control and power circuitry is not necessary.
Formulae Used:
The triggering pulse is generated at the point at which the associated cosine wave becomes
instantaneously equal to the control voltage.
In other words,
2V sin (-t) = VR
At this instant t= and hence
2V sin (-) = VR
= - sin- (VR/2V)
R max=22V/CVR
Where, VR- breakdown voltage of the Diac
- firing angle delay
V- Supply voltage

Operation:
A triac control circuit for lamp dimmers is shown in Fig.1. A diac is a gateless triac designed to
breakdown at a low voltage. During the positive half cycle, the triac requires a positive gate
pulse for turning it on. This is provided by the capacitor C. When its voltage is above the
breakdown voltage of the diac, the capacitor C discharges through the triac gate. When the triac
turns on, the capacitor Voltage will be reset to zero. A similar operation takes place in the
negative half cycles, and a negative gate pulse will be applied when the diac breaks down in the
reverse direction. Adjustment of series resistance, R determines the charging rate of capacitor C
and hence the value of the phase angle delay. The output power and thus light intensity are
varied by controlling the phase of conduction of the triac.

Formation of Bus Admittance Matrix using MATLAB Software

Aim:

To develop a computer program to form the bus admittance matrix, Ybus of a power system.

Theory:

The Ybus /Zbus matrix constitutes the models of the passive portions of the power network. Ybus
matrix is often used in solving load flow problems. It has gained widespread applications owing
to its simplicity of data preparation and the ease with which the bus admittance matrix can be
formed and modified for network changes. Of course, sparsity is one of its greatest advantages as
it heavily reduces computer memory and time requirements. In short circuit analysis, the
generator and transformer impedances must also be taken into account. In contingency analysis,
the shunt elements are neglected, while forming the Z-bus matrix, which is used to compute the
outage distribution factors.
This can be easily obtained by inverting the Y-bus matrix formed by inspection method or by
analytical method. The impedance matrix is a full matrix and is most useful for short circuit
studies. Initially, the Y-bus matrix is formed by inspection method by considering line data only.
After forming the Y-bus matrix, the modified Y-bus matrix is formed by adding the generator
and transformer admittances to the respective diagonal elements and is inverted to form the Z-
bus matrix.
The performance equation for a n-bus system in terms of admittance matrix can be
written as,

The admittances Y11, Y12, Y1n are called the self-admittances at the nodes and all other
admittances are called the mutual admittances of the nodes.

Z-bus Building Algorithm using MATLAB Software

Aim:

To develop a computer program to obtain the building algorithm for bus impedance matrix of the
given power system.

Theory:

The Ybus /Zbus matrix constitutes the models of the passive portions of the power network. The
impedance matrix is a full matrix and is most useful for short circuit studies. An algorithm for
formulating [Zbus] is described in terms of modifying an existing bus impedance matrix
designated as [Zbus]old. The modified matrix is designated as [Zbus]new. The network consists of a
reference bus and a number of other buses. When a new element having self impedance Zb is
added, a new bus may be created (if the new element is a tree branch) or a new bus may not be
created (if the new element is a link). Each of these two cases can be subdivided into two cases
so that Zb may be added in the following ways:
1. Adding Zb from a new bus to reference bus.
2. Adding Zb from a new bus to an existing bus.
3. Adding Zb from an existing bus to reference bus.
4. Adding Zb between two existing buses.

Type 1 modification:

In type 1 modification, an impedance Zb is added between a new bus p and the reference bus as
shown in Figure 1

Let the current through bus p be Ip, then the voltage across the bus p is given by,

Type 2 modification:
In type 2 modification, an impedance Zb is added between a new bus p and an existing bus k as
shown in Figure 2. The voltages across the bus k and p can be expressed as,
Vk(new) = Vk + Ip Zkk
Vp = Vk(new) + Ip Zp
= Vk + Ip(Zb + Zkk)
where, Vk is the voltage across bus k before the addition of impedance Zb
Zkk is the sum of all impedance connected to bus k.

Type 3 Modification:

In this modification, an impedance Zb is added between a existing bus k and a reference bus.
Then the following steps are to be followed:
1. Add Zb between a new bus p and the existing bus k and the modifications are done as in
type 2.
2. Connect bus p to the reference bus by letting Vp = 0.
To retain the symmetry of the Bus Impedance Matrix, network reduction technique can be
used to remove the excess row or column.

Type 4 Modification:

In this type of modification, an impedance Zb is added between two existing buses j and k as
shown in Figure 3. From Figure 3, the relation between the voltages of bus k and j can be written
as,
Vk Vj = IbZb (3)

Vn = Zn1I1 + Zn2I2 + - - - - - - - - + Znj(Ij + Ib) + Znk(Ik Ib) + - - -

Step1: Number the nodes of the given network, starting with those nodes at the ends
of branches connected to the reference node.
Step2: Start with a network composed of all those branches connected to the
reference node.
Step3: Add a new node to the ith node of the existing network.

Gauss Seidal Load flow analysis using MATLAB software

Aim:

To develop a computer program to solve the set of non linear load flow equations using Gauss-
seidal load flow algorithm.

Theory:

Load flow analysis is the most frequently performed system study by electric utilities. This
analysis is performed on a symmetrical steady-state operating condition of a power system under
normal mode of operation and aims at obtaining bus voltages and line/transformer flows for a
given load condition. This information is essential both for long term planning and next day
operational planning. In long term planning, load flow analysis helps in investigating the
effectiveness of alternative plans and choosing the best plan for system expansion to meet the
projected operating state. In operational planning, it helps in choosing the best unit
commitment plan and generation schedules to run the system efficiently for them next days load
condition without violating the bus voltage and line flow operating limits.
The Gauss seidal method is an iterative algorithm for solving a set of non- linear
algebraic equations. The relationship between network bus voltages and currents may be
represented by either loop equations or node equations. Node equations are normally preferred
because the number of independent node equation is smaller than the number of independent
loop equations.
The network equations in terms of the bus admittance matrix can be written as,

I bus Ybus Vbus (1)

For a n bus system, the above performance equation can be expanded as,

I 1 Y11 Y12 Y1 p Y1n V1

Y Y
Y2 p Y2 n V2
I 2 12 22

(2)
I Y p1 Y p 2 Y pp Y pn V p
p


I n Yn1 Yn 2 Ynp Ynn Vn
where n is the total number of nodes.
Vp is the phasor voltage to ground at node p.
Ip is the phasor current flowing into the network at node p.
At the pth bus, current injection:

I p Y p1V1 Y p 2V2 ............ Y ppV p .............Y pnVn

Y pqVq Y ppV p Y pqVq (3)
q 1 q 1

1 n
Vp I p Y pqVq ; p 2,....n (4)
Y pp q 1
q p
At bus p , we can write Pp jQp = V p I p
Hence, the current at any node p is related to P, Q and V as follows:

( Pp jQ p )
Ip ( for any bus p except slack bus s) (5)
V p
Substituting for Ip in Equation (4),

1 P jQ n
Y pqVq ; p 2, .....n

Y pp V p* q 1

Ip has been substituted by the real and reactive powers because normally in a power system these
quantities are specified.

Algorithm:

Step 1: Read the input data.

Step 2: Find out the admittance matrix.
Step 3: Choose the flat voltage profile 1+j0 to all buses except slack bus.
Step 4: Set the iteration count p = 0 and bus count i = 1.
Step 5: Check the slack bus, if it is the generator bus then go to the next step otherwise go to
next
step 7.
Step 6: Before the check for the slack bus if it is slack bus then go to step 11 otherwise go to
next
step.
Step 7: Check the reactive power of the generator bus within the given limit.
Step 8: If the reactive power violates a limit then treat the bus as load bus.
Step 9: Calculate the phase of the bus voltage on load bus
Step 10: Calculate the change in bus voltage of the repeat step mentioned above until all the bus
voltages are calculated.
Step 11: Stop the program and print the results

Newton Rapshson load flow analysis using MATLAB software

Aim:

To develop a software program to obtain real and reactive power flows, bus voltage magnitude
and angles by using N R method.

Theory:

Load flow study in power system parlance is the steady state solution of the power system
network. The main information obtained from this study comprises the magnitudes and phase
angles of load bus voltages, reactive powers at generator buses, real and reactive power flow on
transmission lines, other variables being specified. This information is essential for the
continuous monitoring of current state of the system and for analyzing the effectiveness of
alternative plans for future system expansion to meet increased load demand.
Newton-Raphson method is an iterative method that approximates the set of non linear
simultaneous equations to a set of linear simultaneous equations using Taylors series expansion
and the terms are limited to first approximation. The rate of convergence is fast as compared to
the FDLF program and also it is suitable for large size system. So we go for N-R method.
The non-linear equations governing the power system network are,
I p Y pqV p for all p

where Ip is the current injected into bus p.

where, the coefficient matrix is known as Jacobian matrix.
In the above equation, bus 1 is assumed to be the slack bus. The Jacobian matrix gives
the linearized relationship between small changes in voltage angle i(r ) and voltage magnitude
Vi r with the small changes in real and reactive power Pi r and Qir . Elements of the
Jacobian matrix are the partial derivatives of (2) and (3) evaluated at ir and Vi r .
The above relationship can be written in a compact form as,

(r+1) = (r) + (r) (15)
Next we get a new set of linear equations evaluated at (r+1)th iteration and the process is
repeated. Convergence is tested by the power mismatch criteria. This method converges to high
accuracy nearly always in 2 to 5 iterations from a flat start (|V| = 1 p.u. and =0 ) for all buses
where |V|, are unknown, independent of system size.
At PV bus at the end of an iteration and if it violates the limits, the PV bus is switched to
a PQ bus. When Q is within limits, then it is switched back to PV bus.

Algorithm:
The computational procedure for Newton-Raphson method using polar coordinate is as follows:

Step 1: Form Ybus matrix.

Step 2: Assume initial values of bus voltages V p o and phase angles op for load buses
and phase angles for PV buses. Normally we set the assumed bus voltage
magnitude and its phase angle equal slack bus quantities V1 = 1.0, 1 =0o.
Step 3: Compute Pp and Qp for each load bus from the Equations (2) and (3).
Step 4: Compute the scheduled errors Pp and Q p for each load bus from the
following relations:
Ppk Pp sp Ppk cal p 2,3.....n

Q kp Q p sp Q kp cal p 2,3.....n

For PV buses, the exact value of Q p is not specified, but its limits are known. If
the calculated value of Q p is within limits, only Pp is calculated. If the
calculated value of Q p is beyond the limits, then an appropriate limit is imposed
and Q p is also calculated by subtracting the calculated value of Q p from the
appropriate limit. The bus under consideration is now treated as a load on
(PQ) bus.
Step 5: Compute the elements of the Jacobian matrix using the estimated V p and p
from step2.
Step 6: Obtain and V p from Equations (4) and (5).

Step 7: Using the values of p and V p calculated in step 6, modify the voltage
magnitude and phase angle at all loads by the Equations (14) and (15). Start the
next iteration cycle at step 2 with these modified V p and p .

Step 8: Continue until scheduled errors Ppk and Q kp for all load buses are within a

specified tolerance, ie, Ppk < , Q kp <

where, denotes the tolerance level for load buses.
Step10: Calculate line flows and power at the slack bus exactly in the same manner as in
the Gauss Seidal method.

Sample Problem:

The load flow data for a 3-bus system is given in tables 1 and 2. The voltage magnitude at bus 2
is to be maintained at 1.0 p.u. The maximum and minimum reactive power limits for bus 2 are
0.3 and 0 p.u. respectively. Taking bus 1 as slack bus, determine the voltages of the various
buses at the end of first iteration starting with a flat voltage profile for all buses except slack bus
using N-R method.

Fast Decoupled Load Flow Analysis using MATLAB Software

Aim:

To become proficient in the usage of software in solving load flow problems using Fast
decoupled load flow method.

Theory:

Load flow study is useful in planning the expansion of power system as well as determining best
operation of the system. The principle obtained from load flow study is the magnitude and phase
angle of the voltage at each bus and real and reactive power flowing in each line. Load flow
analysis may be performed using A.C. network analyzer and also by digital computer. But now-
a-days digital computer oriented load flow analysis is a standard practice.
The fast decoupled load flow method is a very fast method of obtaining load flow
solutions. This method requires less number of arithmetic operations to complete an iteration
consequently. This method requires less time per iterations. In N-R method, the elements of
Jacobian are to be computed in each iteration .So the time per iteration is considerably more in
N-R method than in FDLF. The rate of convergence in FDLF method is slow requiring
considerably more number of iterations to obtain a solution than in the case of N-R method.
However accuracy is same in both the cases. In this method both the speeds as well as the
sparsity are exploited. This is an extension of N-R method formulated in polar co-ordinates with
certain approximation which results into a fast algorithm for load flow solution.
In practice, transmission system operating under steady state possesses strong
interdependence between active powers and bus voltages, angles, similarly there is strong
interdependence between bus voltage and reactive power

Symmetrical Fault Analysis using MATLAB Software

Aim:

To develop a computer program to carry out simulation study of a symmetrical three phase short
circuit on a given power system.

Theory:

Short circuits and other abnormal conditions often occur on a power system. Short circuits are
usually called faults by power system engineers. Some defects, other than short circuits are
also termed as faults.
Faults are caused either by insulation failures or by conducting path failures. The failure
of insulation results in short circuits which are very harmful as they may damage some
equipment of the power system. Most of the faults in transmission and distribution lines are
caused by over voltages due to lightning or switching surges, or by external conducting objects
falling on overhead lines. Overvoltages due to lightning or switching surges cause flashover on
the surface of insulators resulting in short circuits. Short circuits are also caused by tree branches
or other conducting objects falling on the overhead lines.
The fault impedance being low, the fault currents are relatively high. The fault currents
being excessive, they damage the faulty equipment and the supply installation. Also, the system
voltage may reduce to a low level, windings and busbars may suffer mechanical damage due to
high magnetic forces during faults and the individual generators in a power station or group of
generators in different power stations may loose synchronism
The symmetrical fault occurs when all the three conductors of a three-phase line
are brought together simultaneously into a shortcircuit condition as shown in Figure 1.

IA IB IC

Short circuit

Figure 1 Symmetrical Fault on Three-Phase system

This type of fault gives rise to symmetrical currents i.e. equal fault currents with 1200
displacement. Thus referring to Figure 5.1, fault currents IA, IB and IC will be equal in magnitude
with 1200 displacement among them. Because of balanced nature of fault, only one phase needs to
be considered in calculations since condition in the other two phases will also be similar.
 A three-phase short circuit occurs rarely but it is most severe type of fault involving largest
currents. For this reason, the balanced short-circuit calculations are performed to determine these
large currents to be used to determine the rating of the circuit breakers.

Economic Dispatch using MATLAB Software

Aim:

To develop a program for solving economic dispatch problem without transmission losses for a
given load condition using direct method and Lambda-iteration method.

Theory:

A modern power system is invariably fed from a number of power plants. Research and
development has led to efficient power plant equipment. A generating unit added to the system
today is likely to be more efficient than the one added some time back. With a very large number
of generating units at hand, it is the job of the operating engineers to allocate the loads between
the units such that the operating costs are the minimum. The optimal load allocation is by
considering a system with any number of units. The loads should be so allocated among the
different units that every unit operates at the same incremental cost. This criterion can be
developed mathematically by the method of lagrangian multiplier.

Statement of Economic Dispatch Problem:

In a power system, with negligible transmission losses and with N number of spinning thermal
generating units the total system load PD at a particular interval can be met by different sets of
generation schedules.
PG1(K), PG2(K). PGN(K) ; k =1,2,.NS
Out of these NS sets of generation schedules, the system operator has to choose that set
of schedule which minimizes the system operating cost which is essentially the sum of the
production costs of all the generating units. This economic dispatch problem is mathematically
stated as an optimization problem. Given the number of available generating units Ns their
production cost function, their operating limits and the system load PD.
To determine the set of generating schedule PG,

The unit production cost function is usually approximated by a quadratic function.
F P a P b P c
2

i Gi i Gi i Gi i
i=1,2N (4)
where ai, bi and ci are constants.

The ED problem is given by the equations (1) to (4). By omitting the inequality constraint the
reduced ED problem may be restated as an unconstrained optimization problem by augmenting
the objective function with the constraint function multiplied by Lagrange multiplier to

obtain the Lagrange function L as,

F P P P
N N
Min: L(PG1,..PGN, )= i Gi Gi D

The necessary conditions for the existence of solution to (5) are given by,
L dF P
0 i Gi ; i=1,2..N (6)
PGi dPGi
L N
0 PGi PD (7)
i 1

The solution to ED problem can be obtained by solving simultaneously the necessary conditions
(6) and (7) which state that the economic generation schedules not only satisfy the system power
balance equation (8) but also demand that the incremental cost rates of all the units be equal to
which can be interpreted as incremental cost of received power when the inequality constraints
(3) are included in the ED problem the necessary condition (6) gets modified as

dFi PGi
= for PGi,min PGi PGi, max
dPGi
for PGi = PGi,max
for PGi = PGi, min (8)

Methods of Solution for ED without Loss

The solution to the ED problem with the production cost function assumed to be a quadratic
function, equation (4), can be obtained by simultaneously solving (6) and (7) using a direct
method as given below,

dFi ( PGi )
= 2aiPGi + bi = ; i = 1,2, .......... N (9)

From Equation (9) we obtain
PGi = ( bi) /2ai ; i = 1,2,............N (10)

The method of solution involves computing using equation (11) and than computing the
economic schedules PGi; i=1,2,........N using equation (10). In order to satisfy the operating limits
(3) the following iterative algorithm is to be used.

Algorithm for ED without loss (For quadratic production cost function)

Step 1: Compute using Equation (11)

Step 2: Compute using Equation (10) the economic schedules, PGi ; i = 1,2,........N

Step 3: If the computed PGi satisfy the operating limits

PGi, min PGi PGi, max ; i = 1,2,.........N
Then stop, the solution is reached. Otherwise proceed to step 4

Step 4: Fix the schedule of the NV number of violating units whose generation PGi
violates the operating limits (12) at the respective limit, either PGi,max or PGi,min

Step 5: Distribute the remaining system load PD minus the sum of the fixed generation
schedules to the remaining units numbering NR (= N-NV) by computing using
Equation (11) and the PGi; i NR using equation (10) where NR is the set of
remaining units.

Step 6: Check whether optimality condition (8) is satisfied. If yes, stop the solution
Otherwise, release the generation schedule fixed at PGi,max or PGi,min of
those generators not satisfying optimality condition (8), include these units in the
remaining units, modify the sets NV , NR and the remaining load. Go to step 5.

Sample Problem:
Economic Dispatch without loss:

A power plant has three units with the following cost characteristics:

C 1 0.5 P12 215 P1 5000 Rs / h

C 2 1.0 P22 270 P2 5000 Rs / h
C 3 0.7 P32 160 P3 9000 Rs/h

where Pis are the generating powers in MW. The maximum and minimum loads allowable on

each unit are 150 and 39 MW. Find the economic scheduling for a total load of i) 320 MW
ii) 200 MW
Solution:

Knowing the cost characteristics, incremental cost characteristics are obtained as

IC 1 1.0 P1 215 Rs / MWh
IC 2 2.0 P2 270 Rs / MWh
IC 3 1.4 P3 160 Rs / MWh

Using the equal incremental cost rule

1.0 P1 215
2.0 P2 270
1.4 P3 160
Case i) Total load = 320 MW Since P1 + P2 + P3 = 320 we have

215 270 160

320
1.0 2.0 1.4
1 1 1 215 270 160
i.e. [ ] 320
1.0 2.0 1.4 1.0 2.0 1.4
i.e. 2.2143 = 784.2857

This gives = 354.193 RM / MWh

Thus P1 = ( 354.193 - 215 ) / 1.0 = 139.193 MW

P2 = ( 354.193 - 270 ) / 2.0 = 42.0965 MW
P3 = ( 354.193 -16.0 ) / 1.4 = 138.7093 MW
All P i' s lie within maximum and minimum limits. Therefore, economic scheduling is

P1 = 139.193 MW
P2 = 42.0965 MW
P3 = 138.7093 MW
Economic Dispatch without loss using Lamda Iteration method:

The fuel cost equations are given by,

F1 = 0.035 P12 + 15P1 + 20 Rs / hr
F2= 0.04 P22+ 10P2 + 30 Rs / hr
Assuming both the units are operating at all time then total load varies from 40 to 200 MW and
that the maximum and minimum load of each unit is 100 and 20 MW respectively. Find the
Incremental Production Cost and allocation of load between two units for minimum overall cost
the given load.
P1 = 20 MW
P2 = 80 MW

F2 = 0.04 (80)2+ 10(80) + 30 = 1086 Rs / hr

FT = F1 + F2 =1420 Rs / hr
