1. [15 Points] From the data in Table 1, solve for , P1, and P2 if the total power P=P1+
P2 is 400 MW.

Is the dispatch outside of its constraints (Pmin, Pmax, per Eq. 3.7)?

If the units is outside the If

2
> (not allowed by Eq. 3.7),
constraints (Pmin, Pmax, per Eq. 2
3.7), then then
a. Set P2 to maximum, and d. Set P1 to maximum, and
recalculate P1, recalculate P2,
