[OR-LIB](http://people.brunel.ac.uk/~mastjjb/jeb/info.html) is a collection of test data sets for a variety of operations research problems, including unit commitment. The UC instances in OR-LIB are synthetic instances generated by [**Antonio Frangioni** random UC generator](http://groups.di.unipi.it/optimize/Data/UC.html).
