Popis: Optimum scheduling of generation subject to constraints on maximum and minimum levels and rates of change of generation, spare capacity and line flow limits, is studied. A linear programming formulation for system constraints is used with a quadratic cost function for generation and transmission line loss. An optimal solution for real power dispatch is obtained by quadratic programming, and optimum allocation of reactive power is based on a gradient technique which minimises transmission loss subject to nodal voltage and reactive power limits. An ac load flow analysis is incorporated together with a load prediction program based on a spectral analysis of past load data. The feasibility of simulating the overall system problem, including load-frequency control of equivalent generation, using a combined analogue-digital process computer system linked to a large scientific digital computer by data link is investigated.
