Economic Dispatch

Economic dispatch minimizes total generation cost while meeting load demand and respecting generator limits.

Generator Data Indices

MATPOWER generator array columns (0-indexed):

# Use bus number mapping (handles non-contiguous bus numbers)
bus_num_to_idx = {int(buses[i, 0]): i for i in range(n_bus)}
gen_bus = [bus_num_to_idx[int(g[0])] for g in gens]
