  • Method for determining a sequence of operation of a set of generator units of an electrical network
    Patent number: 11336093
    Abstract: A method for determining a sequence of operation of at least one set of generator units of an electrical network includes assigning a rank to each generator unit; from a projected load curve, determining a minimum number of generator units; for each generator unit having a rank less than or equal to the minimum number of generator units, allocating in the sequence of operation the on state to the generator unit for each time interval; for each generator unit having a rank greater than the minimum number of generator units, allocating, by increasing rank, for each time interval of the sequence of operation the on state or the off state to the generator unit, and for each generator unit to which is assigned the on state at a given time interval of the sequence of operation, allocating an operating power, by optimisation of a cost function over a period.
