Ex.4.4 Suppose a natural gas plant of 1000 kW capacity is constructed for $300 per kW. Assume the variable cost (VC) is 2 ¢/kWh. Perform the following: (i) Compute the cost of electric energy to end users if the 100% of installed capacity is used 24 hours a day over 5 years. (ii) Compute the cost of electric energy to end users if the 100% of installed capacity is used 12 hours and 50% of installed capacity is used for the rest of the day over 5 years. (iii) Plot the energy unit cost (EUC) versus the load factor (LF) from 0 to 1 (m file). Thank you
