Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes reallife case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. A major challenge for all power utilities is to not only satisfy the consumer demand for power, but to do so at minimal cost. Any given power system can be comprised of multiple generating stations, each of which has its own characteristic operating parameters. The cost of operating these generators does not usually correlate proportionally with their outputs, therefore the challenge for power utilities is to try to balance the total load among generators that are running as efficiently as possible. Further, the power station has incremental operating costs for fuel and maintenance; and fixed costs associated with the station itself that can be quite considerable. Things get even more complicated when utilities try to account for transmission line losses, and the demand fluctuation within shorter time. In all of these cases, however, the basic objective is to operate the system as inexpensively as possible.The purpose of this course is to introduce and explore a number of engineering and economic matters involved in planning, operating, and controlling power generation and transmission systems in electric utilities. This course is designed to provide a good overview of the economic dispatch problem in power generation. It covers Power generation characteristics, Economic dispatch problem, Thermal unit economic dispatch and methods of solution, Optimization with constraints, Using dynamic programming for solving economic dispatch and other optimization problems, Transmission system effects, The unit commitment problem and solution methods, Generation scheduling in systems with limited energy supplies, Production cost models, Automatic generation control, Interchange of power and energy, Power system security techniques, Least-squares techniques for power system estimation, and Optimal power flow techniques and illustrative applications.
