Electrical Generation and Transmission

Example model

Description: This model of an electrical network minimizes total cost of generation and transmission. Each node in the network has power generators and consumers (demand). Nodes are connected by transmission links. Each link has a maximum capacity in Watts and an admittance (the real part of impedance is assumed to be zero). Each generator has a min and max power and a marginal cost in $/KWh. The model uses a linear program to determine how much power each generator should produce so as to minimize total cost of generation and transmission, while satisfying demand and remaining within link constraints.
