A load centre is at an equidistant from the two thermal generating stations $${G_1}$$ and $${G_2}$$ as shown in figure. The fuel cost characteristics of the generating stations are given by
$${F_1} = a + b{P_1} + cP_1^2\,Rs/hour$$
$${F_2} = a + b{P_2} + 2cP_2^2\,Rs/hour$$
$${F_1} = a + b{P_1} + cP_1^2\,Rs/hour$$
$${F_2} = a + b{P_2} + 2cP_2^2\,Rs/hour$$

Incremental fuel costs (in some appropriate unit) for a power plant consisting of three generating units are
$${\rm I}{C_1} = 20 + 0.3\,\,{P_1},\,{\rm I}{C_2} = 30 + 0.4\,\,{P_2},\,{\rm I}{C_3} = 30$$
Assume that all the three units are operating all the time. Minimum and maximum loads on each unit are $$50$$ $$MW$$ and $$300$$ $$MW$$ respectively. If the plant is operating on economic load dispatch to supply the total power demand of $$700$$ $$MW$$, the power generated by each unit is
$${\rm I}{C_1} = 20 + 0.3\,\,{P_1},\,{\rm I}{C_2} = 30 + 0.4\,\,{P_2},\,{\rm I}{C_3} = 30$$

The incremental cost characteristic of two generators delivering $$200$$ $$MW$$ are as follows
$$\,\,\,{{d{F_1}} \over {d{P_1}}} = 20 + 0.1{P_1},\,\,{{d{F_2}} \over {d{P_2}}} = 16 + 0.2{P_2}$$
For economic operation, the generations $${P_1}$$ and $${P_2}$$ should be
