Abstract:
This paper investigates electrical energy mix and
operation cost in Bangladesh for sustainable development. Projecting
tentative energy demand by the year of 2025, the aspect of
economic load dispatch is discussed. Several ongoing Government
projects and their contribution to meet future demand, along with
renewable energy scenario are critically reviewed. The prospects
of feasible renewable energy resources are considered. To fulfill
the electrical energy demand, optimal energy mix has been
proposed. Three plausible scenarios have been considered for the
year 2018, 2021 and 2025 respectively. The west zone power grid
comprises of generation stations and sub-stations are considered
to carry out the load at different buses at a minimum cost.
Linear programmed optimum power flow method has been used
to evaluate the generating capacity, operation cost as well as the
selling price of each generating stations for both off-peak and onpeak
hour. The emission of CO2 is calculated by considering the
emission of each fuel type used in different generating stations.
