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
A
$${P_1} = {P_2} = 100\,MW$$
B
$${P_1} = 80MW,\,\,{P_2} = 120\,MW$$
C
$${P_1} = 200MW,\,\,{P_2} = 0\,MW$$
D
$${P_1} = 120MW,\,\,{P_2} = 80\,MW$$

A synchronous generator, having a reactance of 0.15 p.u., is connected to an infinite bus through two identical parallel transmission lines having reactance of 0.3 p.u. each. In steady state, the generator is delivering 1 p.u. Power to the infinite bus. For a three phase fault at the receiving end of one line, calculate the rotor angle at the end of first time step of 0.05 seconds. Assume the voltage behind transient reactance for the generator as 1.1 p.u. and infinite bus voltage as 1.0 p.u. Also indicate how the accelerating powers will be evaluated for the next time step if the breaker clears the fault.
