Power plant operational metrics vs. marginal cost

Economic dispatch (% of nameplate capacity), capture price ($/MWh), and profit ($/MWh) as a function of marginal operational cost.

Curves are derived from a lognormal probability density function with μ = 3.01 and σ = 0.44. Assumes a fully dispatchable plant with 100% availability, maximum power of 100 MW and minimum power of 0 MW.
