Optimization and AI Application in Power System


By: Yoseph Mekonnen Abebe (P.hD.)
General Instruction: Take any necessary assumption and provide a valuable reason for it. NB:
Since you are free to take a reasonable assumption for the variables which are not given to you,
you don’t have to waste your time by mailing or calling me for the thing you are given a full
authority.

1. A power company operates two thermal power plants A and B using three different
grades of coal C1, C2 and C3. The minimum power to be generated at plants A and B is
30MWh and 80MWh respectively. The quantities of various grades of coal needed to
produce 1Mhh of power at each plants, the pollution caused by each grades of coal at
each power plant and the costs of each grade of coal is given in table below.

Formulate the problem of finding the amount of various grades of coal to be used at each
power plant to minimize a) total pollution b) total cost

2. Find the solution of the following problems using MATLAB function fmincon with
starting point as xo=[1 1] for a and xo=[0 0 0 0] for b.
a)
b)

3. Minimize

a) Lagrange Multiplier Method

5. Consider the following function represents an approximated and negated part of a


generator power equation. Step by Step find its maximum:

(c) Dichotomous search method in the interval (0, 1) to achieve an accuracy of within 5%

7. An electric power of 100MW generated at a hydroelectric power plant is to be


transmitted 400 km to a step down transformer for distribution at 11 kV. The power
dissipated due to the resistance of conductors is i2c−1, where i is the line current in
amperes and c is the conductance in mhos. The resistance loss, based on the cost of
power delivered, can be expressed as 0.15i2c−1 Birr. The power transmitted (k) is related
to the transmission line voltage at the power plant (e) by the relation k = √3ei, where e is
in kilovolts. The cost of conductors is given by 2c millions of Birr, and the investment in
equipment needed to accommodate the voltage e is given by 500e Birr. Find the values of
e and c to minimize the total cost of transmission using Newton’s method and Secant for
two iterations. NB use your own assumptions for the initial start leading to the answer
rapidly.
