Abstract
According to one embodiment, the economical load dispatcher calculates a discharging threshold value and a charging threshold value based on a discharging unit price of and a charging and discharging efficiency of the secondary battery and further calculates output allocations of the generators and secondary battery such that the secondary battery is discharged when incremental fuel costs of the generators are higher than the discharging threshold value, whereas the secondary battery is charged when incremental fuel costs of the generators are lower than the charging threshold value.
