Online Convex Optimization with Binary Constraints

open access: yes, 2021
We consider online optimization with binary decision variables and convex loss functions. We design a new algorithm, binary online gradient descent (bOGD) and bound its expected dynamic regret.

Aggregation of thermostatically controlled loads by formal abstractions [PDF]

open access: yes2013 European Control Conference (ECC), 2013
This work discusses a two-step procedure based on formal abstractions, which generates a finite stochastic dynamical model as an aggregation of the continuous temperature dynamics of a population of Thermostatically Controlled Loads (TCL). The temperature of each single TCL is described by a stochastic difference equation and the TCL status (ON, OFF ...

Value of thermostatic loads in future low-carbon Great Britain system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper quantifies the value of a large population of heterogeneous thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs). The TCL dynamics are regulated by means of an advanced demand side response model (DSRM).

Safe control of thermostatically controlled loads with installed timers for demand side management

open access: yes, 2013
We develop safe protocols for thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) to provide power pulses to the grid without a subsequent oscillatory response.

Controllability and stability of primary frequency control from thermostatic loads with delays

open access: yesJournal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy, 2017
There is an increasing interest in exploiting the flexibility of loads to provide ancillary services to the grid. In this paper we study how response delays and lockout constraints affect the controllability of an aggregation of refrigerators offering ...

Demand Response Load Following of Source and Load Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This paper presents a demand response load following strategy for an interconnected source and load system, in which we utilize traditional units and population of cooling thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) to follow the mismatched power caused by ...

A scheduling strategy for thermostatically-controlled loads considering communication resource optimization

open access: yesZhejiang dianli
Due to the transmission demand for massive demand-side data, the pressure on communication networks has doubled and redoubled, leading to communication delays, congestion, interruptions, and other problems, which impact the real-time interaction of ...

Exploiting Integrated Demand Response for Operating Reserve Provision Considering Rebound Effects

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2022
Electricity-driven thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs), e.g., air conditioners (ACs), have been widely utilized in demand response (DR) to provide operating reserve for power systems.

Distributed Load Control Using Reliable Low-Data-Rate Power Line Communication

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2022
Many demand-response schemes fail because they inconvenience consumers or add unnecessary costs. When participating in a typical demand-response scheme, a consumer may be subjected to invasive control systems, communication systems, or data collection ...
