Traditionally electric power systems are operated in such a way that the total fuel cost is minimized regardless of emissions produced. With increased requirements for environmental protection, alternative strategies are required. This paper presents a summary of algorithms of environmental-economic dispatch in electric power systems since 1970. The algorithms attempt to reduce the production of atmospheric emissions such as NO[sub x] and SO[sub x] caused by the operation of fossil-fuel thermal generation. Such a reduction is achieved by including emissions either as a constraint or as a weighted function in the objective of the overall dispatching problem.
