Ensemble of Thermostatically Controlled Loads: Statistical Physics Approach [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Thermostatically controlled loads, e.g., air conditioners and heaters, are by far the most widespread consumers of electricity. Normally the devices are calibrated to provide the so-called bang-bang control – changing from on to off, and vice versa ...

A unified framework for coordination of thermostatically controlled loads [PDF]
Automatica, 2021 A collection of thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) -- such as air conditioners and water heaters -- can vary their power consumption within limits to help the balancing authority of a power grid maintain demand supply balance.

Power Tracking Control of Heterogeneous Populations of Thermostatically Controlled Loads With Partially Measured States [PDF]
IEEE Access, 2023 This paper presents a new aggregate power tracking control scheme for populations of thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs). The control design is performed in the framework of partial differential equations (PDEs) based on a late-lumping procedure ...
