Final answer:
If Borduria had the opportunity to buy energy on the spot market at a price of $8.20/MWh, it would affect the dispatch in problem 4.6. The monetary value of the energy can be found by converting it to kilowatt-hours and multiplying it by the cost per kWh.
Step-by-step explanation:
In problem 4.6, the dispatch would change if Borduria had the opportunity to buy some energy on the spot market at a price of $8.20/MWh. This is because the cost of purchasing energy on the spot market would be cheaper than the cost of generating it internally.
To calculate the monetary value of this energy, we need to convert it to kilowatt-hours (kWh). We know that 1 MWh is equal to 1000 kWh. So, if the energy costs $8.20 per MWh, it would cost $0.0082 per kWh.
To find the monetary value of the energy in kilowatt-hours, we need to multiply the cost per kWh by the energy generated. Let's say the energy generated is X kWh. Then, the monetary value of the energy would be X kWh * $0.0082/kWh.
