Problem 1 (30 Points)

The fuel-cost curves for two generators are given as follows:

𝐶1 (𝑃1 ) = 600 + 18 × 𝑃1 + 0.04 × (𝑃1 )2 $/hr

𝐶2 (𝑃2 ) = 700 + 20 × 𝑃2 + 0.03 × (𝑃2 )2 $/hr

Assuming the system is lossless, calculate the optimal dispatch values of 𝑃1 and 𝑃2 for a total load of
1000 MW, the system incremental operating cost, and the total operating cost.

Problem 2 (35 Points)

Rework Problem 1, except assume that the limit outputs are subject to the following inequality
constraints:

200 ≤ 𝑃1 ≤ 800 𝑀𝑊
100 ≤ 𝑃2 ≤ 400 𝑀𝑊

Problem 3 (35 Points)

Rework Problem 1, except assume the 1000 MW value also includes losses, and the penalty factor for
the first unit is 1.0 and for the second unit is 0.95.
