Optimized Load Distributed of Power Plant Units Based on Branch and Bound Method

Abstract:

Power consumption is increasing significantly with the rapid economic development. In order to improve the competitiveness of thermal power plants, the problem of units' optimal load dispatch becomes a hot topic of the research about reducing coal consumption. The branch and bound method is presented to solve the problem based on a load dispatch model with velocity constraint in this paper. Branch can create the conditions for the optimal solution of unit load distribution, bound can improve the search efficiency of the optimal solution [1]. Through the computational Simulation, it proves the method described in the paper has the higher convergence speed and can be better applied to the problem of units' optimal load dispatch.
