Implementation Unit Commitment Problems for the Hydropower Plant Scheduling Use a Priority Method

Abstract

This paper presents the consideration of hydropower plants based on the Unit Commitment Problem (UC) [1] in the Central-1 region network of Electricite du Laos (EDL). Which, the objective is to highlight employing a Priority List (PL) method for scheduling the hybrid power generation of multiple power plants. To achieve the demand for electricity, such as power plant prioritization using Full Load Average Production (FLAPC) rules for EDL's 10s plants. Determining and allocation the number of power plants that have to join with the power generation process at any time intervals by using Shut-Down rules. And define the individual plants' output power assignments to ensure that they can fully accommodate the different load requirements each day. This was simulated in MATLAB, software, version R2018b.
