Suppose that a certain fraction of the power produced by a 350 MW coal plant is offset by wind power. Assume that when the coal plant runs at its constant rated power it has an efficiency of 37%, but that when it needs to be ramped up and down to compensate for the wind power variations its efficiency is reduced by according to e=0.37-0.00001p², at what p the efficiency is maximum?
