for steady curves the type will be thermal power plant, for unsteady curves the type will be gas turbine... but why?
to operate of shut off one unit of thermal power plant it takes long time contrary to gas turbine which take short time in start up & shut down
next step is choose the capacities of the equipments starting from the output required from turbine by MW
next step is
