Question 4 (Mapped to ILO1) A power generating plant consists of two turbo-alternator units whose fuel cost functions (F1 an F2) are expressed in £/hour as: F1= 0.04P1?+ 16 P1+ 500 F2 = 0.045P22 + 12P2 + 400 where P1 and P2 are the output power in MW of units 1 and 2, respectively. The two generating units are running continuously to meet a total plant load of 200 MW. For economic load dispatch, find the incremental fuel cost of the plant 2 in £/MWh and the require output of each unit.

Question 4 (Mapped to ILO1)
A power generating plant consists of two turbo-alternator units whose fuel cost functions (F1 and
F2) are expressed in £/hour as:
F1= 0.04P12+ 16 P1+ 500
F2 = 0.045P22 + 12P2 + 400
where P1 and P2 are the output power in MW of units 1 and 2, respectively.
The two generating units are running continuously to meet a total plant load of 200 MW.
For economic load dispatch, find the incremental fuel cost of the plant à in £/MWh and the required
output of each unit.
