A REVIEW OF RECENT ADVANCES IN ECONOMIC-DISPATCH

This paper presents a survey of papers and reports which address various aspects of economic dispatch. The time period considered is 1977–88. This is done to avoid any repetition of previous studies which were published prior to 1977. Four very important and related areas of economic dispatch are identified and papers published in the general area of economic dispatch are classified into these. These areas are:- (i) Optimal power flow, (ii) economic dispatch in relation to AGC, (iii) dynamic dispatch and (iv) economic dispatch with non-conventional generation sources. © 1990 IEEE
