Recent Orders from our Readers: Optimal Load Dispatch (LP) and Power Plant Emission Models

Your energy technology selection and business development expert/consultant would like to inform our other readers that a kind reader has donated and purchased my Optimal Load Dispatch (Linear Programming or LP model) that could be solved using the Solver tools built-in with MS Excel.

Likewise, I receive an urgent inquiry and interest on how to calculate power plant emissions: mass emission (kg/hr, lb/hr, tons/hr) and volume/mass concentrations (% volume, ppm volume, mg per normal cubic meter or mg/Nm3). More »

Optimal Load Dispatch Model for an Electricity Grid – linear programming (LP) model

Optimal Load Dispatch Model for an Electricity Grid – linear programming (LP) model

An optimal load dispatch model for the Luzon, Visayas and Mindano island grids of the Philippines has been prepared by your energy technology selection and business development expert.

Using linear programming techniques, an optimal load dispatch problem has been prepared in an excel spreadsheet (xls format) which the user can modify and expand and update input data for his particular electricity grid to be analyzed.

This model is a must for regulators in order that future capacity expansion studies are optimized to minimize generation cost and therefore the cost of electricity.  Power plant developers and investors will likewise benefit from this model in order that estimates as to the desirability of a new capacity investment will be made at the drawing board before the actual power plant is constructed.  It will provide estimates on the level of dispatch a new power plant will expect given the existing power generation mix and incremental (variable) O&M costs.
