A Review of Air Conditioning Load Aggregation in Distribution Networks

In the context of global energy transformation, it is particularly important to tap potential flexible load on distribution network side participate in grid operation. As an adjustable network, air conditioning loads have typical characteristics thermal storage, rapid response, and scheduling, which ideal resource. Effective reliable aggregation technologies for participation are basis operation a power grid. To better understand current research status make full use existing results carry out further research, this paper comprehensively reviews various being used networks, including modeling strategy aggregation, control strategy, method, application analysis. Moreover, future directions summarized as guide improving technology aggregation.
