Problem 1. [20 points]


Consider the following optimization problem:
min 3x21 − 12x1 + 4x22 − 24x2
s.t. x1 + x2 = 9.666
7 ≤ x1 ≤ 24
0 ≤ x2 ≤ 8
a) Solve this problem ignoring all the constraints.
b) Solve this problem ignoring the inequality constraints.
c) Solve the problem considering all constraints.
Problem 2. [40 points]
A small power system is supplied by four generators. The cost characteristics of these
generators are given by (In these expressions, the powers are in MW):
C1 (P1 ) = 300 + 12P1 + 0.05P12
C2 (P2 ) = 250 + 13P2 + 0.06P22
C3 (P3 ) = 150 + 11P3 + 0.08P32
c4 (P4 ) = 200 + 10P4 + 0.07P42
a) Calculate the optimal economic dispatch for the case where the total load on the system
is equal to 800 MW. Assume that there are no limits on the output of the generators.
b) Assume that the load is unchanged at 800 MW but that that the following upper
and lower limits are placed on the output of these generators. Write the optimality
conditions for this problem and solve it. What is the marginal cost of the equality and
binding inequality constraints?
50 ≤ P1 ≤ 200
70 ≤ P2 ≤ 230
100 ≤ P3 ≤ 300
240 ≤ P4 ≤ 350

Hint: Try the binding constraints in the following order, checking if the choices are
feasible

1. No inequality constraints are binding.

2. Generator 1 is binding at the upper bound.

3. Generator 1 is binding at its upper bound and generator 4 is bounding at its lower
bound.

Problem 3. [20 points]


Consider a small system with 3 generators with the following parameters (all units in MW):

Unit 1: C1 = 300 + 8P1 + 0.2P12 , Pmin = 200, Pmax = 600

Unit 2: C2 = 500 + 5P2 + 0.4P22 , Pmin = 250, Pmax = 500

Unit 3: C3 = 50 + 12P3 + 0.5P32 , Pmin = 120, Pmax = 400

Each generator can be tuned on or off. They should satisfy a load of 500 MW. Find the
optimal (least cost) combination of the unit status and the generation of each unit.
