a) Explain 'Economic dispatch' in power system. [3 marks] b) State THREE factors to consider in constructing a power plant. [3 marks] c) The fuel inputs per hour of Aboadze thermal plant (P₁) and Ameri plant (P2) in Ghana are given as: F₁-0.2 P² + 40P₁ + 120 GHC/Hr F2=0.25P² +30P2 +150 GHC/Hr Determine the economic operating schedule and the corresponding cost of the generation if the maximum and the minimum loading on each unit is 120 MW and 30 MW, the demand is 210 MW and the transmission losses are neglected. If the load is equally shared by both the units, determine the saving obtained by loading the units as per equal incremental production cost. [9 Marks]
