Refer to Example. In the second case solved with the LP algorithm (starting volumes equal to 70,000 and 50,000 for plant 1 and plant 2, respectively), we restricted the final volume of the coal pile at plant 2 to be 8000 t. What is the optimum schedule if this final volume restriction is relaxed (i.e., the final coal pile at plant 2 could go to 0)?
Example:-
We are given two coal-burning generating units that must both remain on-line for a 3-week period. The combined output from the two units is to supply the following loads (loads are assumed constant for 1 week).
