In the case of an inadvertent accumulation of 240 MWh over generation, which scheduling would work if 50% is on peak?

The situation involves managing an overgeneration scenario with the need to appropriately schedule power deliveries based on a specified mix of on-peak and off-peak periods. Given that 50% of the overgeneration is on peak, this means that half of the excess power needs to be scheduled during peak hours where demand is higher and the price is typically greater.

The correct choice reflects an effective way to distribute the overgeneration while aligning with the peak requirements. If 50% of the 240 MWh accumulation needs to be accounted for during peak times, that translates to needing to schedule 120 MWh during those designated hours.

Looking at the chosen option, delivering 20 MW from the hour ending 0100 through the hour ending 1300 Monday effectively covers a meaningful duration during the early morning and into afternoon peak hours, meeting the necessary demand profile. This approach not only accounts for the required megawatt-hour distribution but also ensures that the scheduling aligns with periods of higher demand.

This choice is strategic as it provides ample opportunity during peak price times, capturing revenue potential from on-peak pricing while avoiding excess delivery during lower demand periods.

In contrast, the other choices present limitations either by scheduling too long without adequate peak coverage or by delivering power on days
