Abstract

This paper describes an alternative approach for determining the optimal mix of thermal power source through a multiple criteria decision making. In this study Goal Programming (GP) model is developed for the determination of optimal mix of power sources with special attention to determine the maximization of thermal power generation with some selective restrictions imposed on its units. The contribution margin is being affected by the method of running of units at partial load. The solution of the model obtained by LINDO software package suggests that units should run at full load to maximum possible extent.
