THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ECONOMIC DISPATCH AND OPTIMAL POWER FLOW METHODS FOR 22-BUS 380-kV POWER SYSTEM IN TURKEY

In this paper, the economic dispatch and optimal power flow (OPF) methods for the purpose of supplying the load demand with minimum cost is used for 22-bus 380-kV power system in Turkey which consists of 8 thermal plants operated by EUAS (Electricity Generation Co. Inc.)and the results found are analyzed comparatively. The results of analysis are given in tables and figures. The analysis made is implemented by the software using MATLAB. Furthermore, the software can be used for different power systems by using the graphical user interface (GUI). All data used in this study is taken from TEIAS (Transmission System Operator of Turkey) and EUAS.
