Fast Thermal Generation Rescheduling, F. Eugenio Villaseca, B. Fardanesh

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

A new dynamic programming algorithm for fast rescheduling thermal generation is presented. The savings in computational times are brought about by the introduction of two new techniques: the variable truncation dynamic programming and the limitation of the solution space to be searched. Several examples on a 20 machine system are used to illustrate the application of the algorithm and to show that optimal solutions are obtained at significantly reduced computational times.
