generator can be represented by a quadratic function, while
the start-up and no-load costs are spread over the running pe-
riod. The generator offer price is taken as the sum of the op-
eration cost of the generating set at no-load and the cost for
producing the output of the generating set. The formulation
is given as follows:

Where ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ are constants with ‘P’ as power [13].
‘a’ is load independent/fixed cost.
