CHAPTER 13 ECONOMIC OPERATION OF POWER SYSTEMS
A cue of A versus plant load establishes the value of A at which each unit
should operate for a given total plant load.
For a plant with two units operating under economic load distribution the
A of the plant equals Ai of each unit, and so

is the total plant output. Equation (13.6) is a closed-form solution fo r which
applies to a plant with more than two units on economic dispatch when the
ap
propriate number of terms is added to the summations of Eq. (13.5). For
instance, if the plant has K units operating on economic dispatch, then the
coecients of Eq. (13.6) are given by
