Mathematics · Economic Operation of Power Systems
The fuel cost functions in rupees/hour for two 600 MW thermal power plants are given by: Plant 1: C1 = 350 + 6P1 + 0.004(P1)2 Plant 2: C2 = 450 + 5.3P2 + 0.003(P2)2 where P1 and P2 are the power generated by Plant 1 and Plant 2 in MW respectively. If the two plants together meet a total power demand of 550 MW optimally under incremental cost scheduling, what is the optimal generation (in MW) of Plant 1 and Plant 2 respectively?
