Summary
This study presents preliminary results of the Security and Emission Constrained Economic
Read more Read lessDispatch (SECED) developed for the Indian power sector to assess the cost of CO2 and other air pollutant emissions reduction. By optimizing emissions of CO₂, SO₂, NOₓ, and Suspended
Particulate Matters (SPM) individually and jointly, the paper reveals practical trade-offs between cost and environmental benefits. Results show that strategic redispatch can achieve significant emission reductions—up to 5%—with relatively modest increase in system cost.
The paper also discusses the planning model where the future capacity additions are also considered to achieve the emission reduction targets. The paper infers that the re-dispatch at central level is more efficient than that of States in India meeting their emissions constraints individually. These findings offer actionable insights into integrating environmental constraints into dispatch decisions ahead of India's carbon market launch. This also suggest a pilot study at
Central level where SCED is already running to observe the results.
