Algorithm

1. Start
   Initialize all required variables and data structures.

2. Input Generator Data
   • For each generator:
     • Read min & max capacities
     • Read cost coefficients: a, b, c
3. Input User Requirements
   • Read total power demand
   • Set tolerance for acceptable error
   • Set maximum number of iterations

4. Initialize Lambda
   Set an initial value for lambda (e.g. 0.0)

5. Repeat Until Convergence or Max Iteration
   For each iteration:
   • For each generator:
     • Compute power using lambda and cost coefficients
     • Clamp power within [min_capacity, max_capacity]
   • Calculate total generated power

   • Check if

     total_power - demand

     < tolerance:

     • If yes, exit loop (converged)
     • Else, adjust lambda based on error
6. Output Results
   • Final lambda value
   • Power output for each generator
   • Total cost (optional)
7. End
