Design of a Solution to Unit Commitment Using Visual Basic

This Final Year Project paper describes the application of the Visual Basic software in
solving the Unit Commitment problem. The main objective is to find the most
economical generator combination to accomplish the consumer load demand. Using this
simulation software^ it can reduce the budget ofpower company butmaintain the power
supplied to the customer. This project is continued from previous student. The author is
needed to enhance the project by redesign the existing software to the new one that able
to simulate more than 10 generators. Author is expected to design the programming
using Visual Basic software and analyzed it. Knowledge in Unit Commitment problem
and the understanding on how to implement the Visual Basic software are prerequisite to
successful completion of this project.
