5 TRANSMISSION LOSS 
 
Generally, in a power system, several plants are situated at different 
places. They are interconnected by long transmission lines. The entire 
system load along with transmission loss shall be met by the power plants 
in the system. Transmission loss depends on i) line parameters ii) bus 
voltages and iii) power flow. Determination of transmission loss requires 
complex computations. However, with reasonable approximations, for a 
power system with N number of power plants, transmission loss can be 
represented as

6 ECONOMIC DIVISION OF SYSTEM LOAD BETWEEN VARIOUS PLANTS  
   IN THE POWER SYSTEM 
 
It is to be noted that different plants in a power system will have different 
cost characteristics. 
 
Consider a power system having N number of plants. Input-output
