Decentralized control strategy of thermostatically controlled loads considering the energy efficiency ratio and measurement error correction

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research
The elimination of traditional thermal generators and the increase of renewable energy source access reduced the inertia of the power system, and thermostatically controlled loads have the potential to provide ancillary services to the power system. This
