Abstract
A dynamic model has been presented in this paper to determine the sustainable energy generation from different sources using optimum control strategy. Applicability of the model has been exhibited by considering a couple of case studies; first an incremental power system in South Asia and second a steady power system in North America. In either case energy planners need to optimize the energy generation from competing sources for both economic growth and sustainability. The case studies provide an overview of the impact of selecting different energy systems and approaches on sustainable energy management system. Short-or long-term planning based on the optimum control theory determine the most economic energy generation by minimizing the cost. The model also adopt algorithm to quantify the system parameters for optimum operation. However, the control strategy needs to be adjusted based on the initial conditions such as current generation, energy system description and forecast demand and generation. These parameters vary for different power systems due to the difference of available energy sources, energy infrastructure, as well as, socio-political differences.
