    system. In this project, we have taken up the cost functions of each of the generators under consideration and developed the cost function to be minimized keeping the mind the generator limits as well as the load balance. Loading constraints: Pt_load=∑_(i=1)^Ng▒〖Pit*Uit=0 〗 Generating limits: Uit*Pit_min≤Pit≤Uit*Pit_max The objective function to be minimized i.e, the overall cost function of the generator would be the sum of cost function of each
