Environmentally constrained economic dispatch via quadratic programming

This paper presents a quadratic programming to solve the economic and emission dispatch problems, with two objective functions is given. The modern power system has become very complex in nature with conflicting requirements. Heavy load demands and distributed generation compromise the cost of generation. Also the pollution hazards and inherent losses contribute towards an inefficient system. The solution technique gives the minimum total cost rate (total thermal cost rate plus total emission cost rate) under the electric constraints. The algorithm is tested on two tests systems and compared with different methods.
