Re: if a generator is generating 20MW and only 5MW is used where does the other 15MW goes?

if generator is not operating on fullload it consumes basic fuel,and other resources,means you are not lossing 15MW of power but by not optimising generator you loss fuel required to operate 20mw instead of opeate 5mw generator,and  fuel required to operate generator of 5mw in full load is less than fuel required to operate 20mw DG in 5MW load
