Direct load control of thermostatically controlled loads based on sparse observations using deep reinforcement learning

CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems, 2019
This paper considers a demand response agent that must find a near-optimal sequence of decisions based on sparse observations of its environment.

Utilisation of thermostatically controlled loads in demand response schemes

The thesis investigates the use of the thermal inertia of thermostatically controlled loads in demand response schemes. Numerical models and computational algorithms are proposed to address several current issues in demand response smart grids.

A Mean Field control approach for demand side management of large populations of Thermostatically Controlled Loads

, 2015
This paper presents a Mean Field (MF) control approach for demand side management of large populations of flexible electric loads, such as electrical cooling/heating appliances, called Thermostatically Controlled Loads (TCLs).

Optimal Tracking Strategies for Uncertain Ensembles of Thermostatically Controlled Loads

, 2019
Traditional centralized power plants have limited ability to adapt to the varying power demands caused due to the increasing deployment of renewable energy sources. For power grids, willing to increase the use of renewable energy and thereby decrease the

Cluster Control of Heterogeneous Thermostatically Controlled Loads Using Tracer Devices

, 2015
Managing the aggregated demand of large heterogeneous clusters of thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) is considered a sequential decision-making problem under uncertainty. Recent research indicates that using reduced-order models in combination with

Power Tracking Control of Heterogeneous Populations of Thermostatically Controlled Loads With Partially Measured States

IEEE Access
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 ...

Safe Control of Thermostatically Controlled Loads with Installed Timers for Demand Side Management

, 2013
Motivated in part by the expanded use of renewable power generation, which are often non-dispatchable and intermittent, we examine the role of electric loads in providing ancillary services for demand side management. A large ensemble of thermostatically
