Abstract

With the rapid development of electricity market, a power plant or power supply producer involved in the market need to face the economic dispatch problem, which includes unit commitment and load distribution. These problems were formerly resolved by the dispatching department of the state power grid manager. Taking into account the new situation in the electricity market, this paper presents a new solution to this problem, i.e., dynamic programming method combined with equal incremental cost criteria.
