| Summary: | In the reality practical power system, power plants are not at the same distance from the centre of load and their fuel costs are different. Also, under normal operating condition the generation capacity is more than the total load demand and losses. Thus there is one main option for scheduling generation that is called optimal dispatch. Optimal dispatch of power generation is to find an effective real and reactive power scheduling to power plants to meet load demand as well as to minimize the operating cost. This cost function may present economic cost, system security and others but in this project, the analysis will limited to the economic dispatch of real power generation. This economic dispatch analysis has been studied by many researchers using different method. However this analysis is very difficult and takes much time to be done by hand calculations. The existence of this optimal dispatch of power generation software package will help the consumer to make this analysis done easier. This friendly software package will be a good medium for researcher to obtain optimal dispatch of power generation without really much effort on hand calculation
