Problem 4
The fuel-cost functions in Rs./h for two 800 MW thermal plants are given by

where P1 and P2 are in MW.

(a) The incremental cost of power  is Rs. 8/MWh when the total power demand is 550 MW. Neglecting
losses, determine the optimal generation of each plant.
(b) The incremental cost of power  is Rs. 10/MWh when the total power demand is 1300 MW.
Neglecting losses, determine the optimal generation of each plant.
(c) From the results of (a) and (b) find the fuel-cost coefficients  and  of the second plant.

[ANS: a) 250 and 300 MW, b) 500 and 800 MW, c) 6.8 and 0.002]

Problem 5
The fuel-cost functions in Rs./h for three thermal plants are given by:

where P1, P2, and P3 are in MW. The governors are set such that generators share the load equally.
Neglecting line losses and generator limits, find the total cost in Rs./h when the total load is:
1) PD = 450 MW 2) PD = 7 45 MW 3) PD = 1335 MW
