The main objective has now shifted to improve the performance, lower the cost of solution and to make reliable power system. To meet the increasing demand of electrical load, new conventional and nonconventional generation’s systems are needed to install. Due to the rapid changes in modern world, energy shortage is a big issue. Due to depleting conventional sources with time, energy experts are interested in renewable energy sources. In order to ensure the stability of power system, demand and generation must be balanced. Hence, the economical load dispatch technique is applied to define the optimal solution for generation units, power output, and to minimize the operating fuel costs of these units.MS ThesisOptimizationDispatchEconomic loadThesis
