Multilayered Self-triggered Control for Thermostatically Controlled Loads
IECON 2019 - 45th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, 2019In this paper, a controller with multilayer structure is proposed to regulate the thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs), so that power sharing and comfort states consensus can be achieved. Since TCLs have great potential to reduce the fluctuations caused by photovoltaic in the building microgrid community, the control of a cluster of TCLs has ...

Human-in-the-Loop Approach in Thermostatically Controlled Loads
2019 American Control Conference (ACC), 2019The goal of this study is to include a model of human decisions and preference in the control loop of a cyber-physical system (CPS). An electrical smart grid is selected as an example of such a CPS, and human decision and preference in utilization of thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) are considered to be included in the control loop of TCLs.

State Estimation and Control of Heterogeneous Thermostatically Controlled Loads for Load Following
2012 45th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2012Thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs), such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and electric water heaters, can be aggregated and used to deliver power systems services. The effectiveness of control strategies depends on the level of infrastructure and communications.

A PID controller for Direct Load Control of Thermostatically Controlled Appliances
2019 IEEE 58th Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), 2019Wind and Solar farms are rapidly growing to produce electricity as sustainable resources; however, integrating these renewable resources into the existing power system has introduced new challenges due to their rapid fluctuations. These fast varying generation tends to decrease the reliability of the grid. Managing the demand side is one method to cope

On the Use of Thermostatically Controlled Loads for Frequency Control
2019 IEEE Milan PowerTech, 2019Demand response (DR) is an essential component of the modern power systems. DR service could be considered as a certain extend solution for integrating renewable generation with power systems to increase economic efficiency and enhance reliability.

The flexibility of Thermostatically Controlled Loads for regulation
2016 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC), 2016Residential Thermostatically Controlled Load (TCL) is an effective resource to participate in power grid active power balancing. However, its distributive characteristic makes control center difficult to directly get its aggregated power. This paper proposed a convenient method to estimate the aggregated power of residential TCL load, which can easily ...

Aggregate Flexibility of Thermostatically Controlled Loads
IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 2015It is widely accepted that thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) can be used to provide regulation reserve to the grid. We first argue that the aggregate flexibility offered by a collection of TCLs can be succinctly modeled as a stochastic battery with dissipation.

Local algorithm for the open loop control of thermostatically controlled loads
2016 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT-Europe), 2016Recently, much research in demand response has been devoted to the global control of a population of local thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs), especially by modifying the temperature setpoints of programmable communicating thermostats (PCTs).

Local Communication in Populations of Thermostatically Controlled Loads
ASME Journal of Engineering for Sustainable Buildings and Cities, 2020Abstract Thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) have shown great potential for demand response (DR) in electric grid operations. However, it has been commonly seen that DR events using TCLs may cause load synchronization and unwanted oscillatory effects, especially in homogeneous populations.

Grouping control strategy for aggregated thermostatically controlled loads
Electric Power Systems Research, 2019Abstract Thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) have great potential to participate in demand response (DR) programs due to their thermal storage and transfer characteristics. In this paper, we propose a grouping control strategy based on customer comfort and power matching degree for aggregated TCLs.
