Electrical power consumption is generally higher during daytime and early morning when industrials loads are high, lights are on and so forth and lower during the late evening and early morning when most of the population are asleep. Therefore predicting the load demand and building the generators’ ON/OFF schedule can save a lot of money. The task of implementing this procedure is termed as Unit Commitment. The Unit Commitment deals with scheduling the ON/OFF status of the generating units. There are various methods to solve Unit Commitment problem. Here we have implemented Priority List method to solve the Unit Commitment problem.

Download the whitepaper and explore how, unit commitment problem using priority list method through virtual instrumentation (Lab View) and we have got better solution than comparing to other methods.
