What factors affect power generation cost?
And why it's incremental?
You right, but incremental cost means that as generated power increases the cost of every generated kW increases, and this is what I am asking about.The more load on the generator’s power lines, the more power it takes to turn the generator’s shaft. So it needs more fuel (coal, gas, ...)
Incremental with respect to generated power. As generated power increases the cost of every generated kW increasesIncremental with respect to what? Time? Population growth? Generator capacity? .....?
Your theory implies (by reversing your claim) that the less power the plant produces, the more efficient it becomes until it is at some maximum efficiency at zero power.You right, but incremental cost means that as generated power increases the cost of every generated kW increases, and this is what I am asking about.
