to the load, a transmission loss of 10MW is incurred. Find the required
generation for each plant and the power received by load using Penalty
Factor method, when the system incremental cost is Rs 25/MW-hr. the
cost equation of the two plants are given below:

F1 = 0.01 P12+16 P1+180 Rs/hr

F2 = 0.02 P22+20 P2+160 Rs/hr
