A fast solver for dynamic economic load dispatch with minimum emission using quadratic programming

This paper presents an application of quadratic programming (QP) for solving dynamic economic load dispatch (DELD) problem with minimum gas emission. This problem determines optimum power generation schedule while minimizing gas emission. The proposed QP method takes care of different unit and system constraints to find optimal solution. To validate the effectiveness and the feasibility of the approach, it has been examined on 2 different standard test cases, (i) a 3-unit, (ii) and 10-unit test system. Simulation results obtained are also compared with other reported methodology. The comparison confirms the superiority, fast convergence and proficiency of the algorithm.
