Economic dispatch accounting line flow constraints using functional link network

This paper presents a methodology for economic dispatch accounting line flow constraints in base case conditions. Functional Link Network (FLN) developed by Pao in 1989 has been used for this purpose. This single layer network has been trained using delta rule. Training set data have been obtained using Davidon-Fletcher-Powell's (DFP) method accounting inequality constraints by exterior penalty function method. An optimal brain damage technique has been employed for truncation and elimination of small weights. The algorithm is tested on IEEE 6-bus and 14-bus test systems.
