dispatch.gms : Economic Load Dispatch Including Transmission Losses


The economic dispatch problem can be defined as determining the
least-cost power generation schedule from a set of on-line generating
units to meet the total power demand at a given point of time. The
generating unit cost and the network transmission losses are modeled
as quadratic function of the power generation.

In the present problem, both the cost-minimizing and loss-minimizing
solutions have been obtained.
