The theory of incremental rates and their practical application to load division-part I

The calculation of the most economical division of load between generating units and power plants is of considerable importance on large inter-connected systems. The most complete analysis of the subject of load division published to date is contained in the present paper, which shows that the method of incremental rates gives the division of load which is the most economical. Both the basic theory and the practical application of the method are contained in this paper. An outline is given in the accompanying table of contents.
