12.1 The input-output curve of a coal-fired generating unit (with a maximum out- put of 550 MW) is given by the following expression: H(P) = 126 +8.9P+0.0029P2² [MJ/h] If the cost of coal is 1.26 £/MJ, calculate the output of the unit when the system marginal cost is a. 13 [£/MWh] and b. 22 [£/MWh]. (Answer: (a) P=244.4 MW, (b) P = 550 MW)
