Optimization in the operation of electric power system is an important task for both inland and onboard. The objective is to minimize operating cost index. Taking advantage of thescheme that onboard operator has the authority not only in the supply side but also in the demandside, an optimization approach toward onboard energy management systems based onintegrated model for supply and demand side is being developed. The model utilizes unit commitmentand economic dispatch in the supply side and load management based on multipleattribute decision-making in the demand side. As a part of the whole concept, this paper focuseson the modeling and simulation of demand side. A user friendly demand side model consistingof Unit Commitment and Economic Dispatch is developed by using LabVIEW, LaboratoryVirtual Instrument Engineering Workbench. Data taken from 3 units of Steam Power Plantare simulated. It is then eventually confirmed that 9% total cost saving can be achieved in theselected load demand range
