Question: The fuel-cost functions in S/h for three thermal plants are given by C= 500+ 5.3P +0.0040P, C=400 +5.5P +0.006P C3 200+ 5.8P3 + 0.009P3

The fuel-cost functions in S/h for three thermal plants are given by 

The fuel-cost functions in S/h for three thermal plants are given by C= 500+ 5.3P +0.0040P, C=400 +5.5P +0.006P C3 200+ 5.8P3 + 0.009P3 where P, P2, and P3 are in MW. Considering the units limit: 200 < P2450, 150 P22350, 100 P32225, Neglecting line losses,find : (a) The optimal scheduling of generation for total load PD=950 MW. (b) The total cost in S/h?
