Question

The incremental cost characteristics of two generators delivering a total load of 200MW are as follows.
$df_1/dp_1=2.0+0.01 P_1.\; df_2/dp_2=1.6+0.02 P_2$
What should be the values of P₁ and P₂ for economical operations?

• A. $P_1-P_2 = 100 W$
• B. $P_1=80MW, P_2 =120 MW$
• C. $P_1=200 MW. P_2 = 0MW$
• D. $P_1=120MW, P_2=80MV$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$P_1=120MW, P_2=80MV$

Answer 2

The correct option is (D):$P_1=120MW, P_2=80MV$ .
