If you can buy power for $10/MWh to meet the 300MW load, how much should you buy? What is your profit in $/hr, ie, how much cost per hour is reduced with respect to (a)? Note: the problem assumes both generators are already turned on (i.e., committed), and even if they are not producing any power, namely, Pi=0 or P2=0, there will still be $75/hr and $80/hr cost incurred respectively, which is called no-load cost.
