In 1991, a utility owned a nuclear plant that was online 95% of the year, the oil burning plant was only out for unscheduled maintenance on the air pollution system 15% of the time, and the gas-fired turbines were online 15% of the time

The nuclear plant is rated at 1000 MW, the oil plant at 940 MW, and the turbine at 200 MW. (See Fig. 8.15.) a. What is the total cost of running these three plants for the utility? b. How much would the utility have to charge per kWh to make a profit?
