A large amount of renewable energy penetration may cause a serious problem in load dispatch in the future power system, where the amount of controllable generators will decrease while disturbances increase. Therefore, a new economic load dispatch (ELD) method is required in order to make the best use of the ramp-rate capability of existing generators to cope with the disturbances caused by loads as well as by renewable energy generations. This paper proposes a new dynamic ELD method to meet the general requirements for real-time use in a future power system, where load following capability is critically limited. The method is also satisfactory from an economical point of view, and is suitable for high-speed online application due to fast and steady computation time. The proposed method has been successfully tested on several systems supplying a typical morning to noon demand profile.Index Terms-Dynamic economic dispatch, feasible operation region, reserve.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
