  1. The incremental cost character istics of two generators delivering 200 MW are as follows:
    dF1
    = 2.0 + 0.01P1;
    dP1

    dF2
    = 1.6 + 0.2 P2;
    dP2

    For economic operation, the generations P1 and P2 should be

    P1 + P1 = 200

    and
    dF1
    =
    dF2
    dP1dP2

    Correct Option: D

    P1 + P1 = 200

    and
    dF1
    =
    dF2
    dP1dP2

    Xs2πƒL

    Preact =
    0.98V × 0.98V
    /
    2πL × 0.96ƒ2πƒL

    =
    0.98 × 0.98
    × 100
    0.96

    = 100.04 MVAr

    Correct Option: D

    Reactive Power =
    =
    Xs2πƒL

    Preact =
    0.98V × 0.98V
    /
    2πL × 0.96ƒ2πƒL

    =
    0.98 × 0.98
    × 100
    0.96

    = 100.04 MVAr
