This make the ith generator appear to be more expensive ( i.e. it is
penalized). Likewise Li <1.0 makes a generator appear to be less 11
expensive.. Further, the incremental cost of each generator at
optimal dispatch is no longer remains same.
Lambda-Iteration method
▪ It is a graphical technique to track the optimal incremental cost
to meet the load demand. It is one of the best and efficient
method to solve the ED problem.

▪ Dynamic Economic Load Dispatch
DELD is process of the economic operation in the power system
for a day-ahead scheduling with forecasted load demand. It aims
to obtain the optimum schedule of the generator units with
minimizing the total fuel cost over continuous time periods while
satisfying the generator and network constraints
