Electrical Energy Saving

We can actually save money by using electricity and running appliances at these specific times of day.

What are peak hours?

On-peak hours are the hours of the day during which demand for electricity is the highest. During this time period, you will be paying the highest amount per kilowatt-hour used.

Note

Thailand On Peak: 9am. - 10pm.

What are off-peak hours?

Conversely to peak hours, off-peak hours are the times when electricity prices are cheaper.

Note

Thailand Off Peak: 10pm. - 9am.

Recommend to submit job to schedule running during OFF PEAK

It may sometimes be useful to submit a job and tell Slurm to defer scheduling until later. This is possible using the –begin option, which works with both sbatch and srun. The job will be submitted immediately, but only considered to run at the specified time in the future. Some examples below: .. example-code:

#!/bin/bash

#SBATCH --job-name=SubmitDelay
#SBATCH --account=ict
#SBATCH --partition=batch
#SBATCH --begin=15:25
