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
A
$${P_1} = 242.86MW;{P_2} = 157.14MW;$$ and $${P_3} = 300MW$$
B
$${P_1} = 157.14MW;{P_2} = 242.86MW;$$ and $${P_3} = 300MW$$
C
$${P_1} = 300.00MW;{P_2} = 300.00MW;$$ and $${P_3} = 100MW$$
D
$${P_1} = 242.86MW;{P_2} = 157.14MW;$$ and $${P_3} = 100MW$$
