Hierarchical Control of Thermostatically Controlled Loads for Primary Frequency Support [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, 2018
This paper proposes a hierarchical control of thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) to provide primary frequency control support. The control architecture is composed of three levels. At the high level, an aggregator coordinates multiple distribution substations and dispatches the primary reserve references.

Understanding the aggregate flexibility of thermostatically controlled loads

open access: yes2017 IEEE Manchester PowerTech, 2017
Thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) are an attractive source of responsive demand. This paper aims to provides a better understanding of the relation between thermal properties of TCLs and their suitability to provide energy arbitrage and frequency services.

Voltage control-based ancillary service using thermostatically controlled loads

open access: yes2016 IEEE Power and Energy Society General Meeting (PESGM), 2016
This paper discusses the possibility of providing voltage control-based ancillary services using thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs). The idea is to change the voltage at the point of common coupling in order to control power consumption of the TCLs through time. This allows to utilize the most common type of loads in the grid to provide ancillary

Decentralized Control of Thermostatic Loads for Flexible Demand Response [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 2015
Thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs), such as refrigerators, air-conditioners and space heaters, offer significant potential for short-term modulation of their aggregate power consumption. This ability can be used in principle to provide frequency response services, but controlling a multitude of devices to provide a measured collective response ...
