Abstract

This paper describes an integrated mathematical modeling approach to minimize the social cost of dynamically matching electricity supply with demand in the context of resource constrained electricity systems. We present a linear programming formulation of this optimization problem in which the temporal and structural variations in demand are captured through representative daily load curves. The utility focused alternatives, viz. supply, non-supply and new supply of electricity are considered for obtaining supply demand matching. Implementation of such an approach is demonstrated through a case study of the electricity system of Karnataka (a state in India). The analyses presented include a base case (1993–1994) and three scenarios.
