Flexibility Management with Virtual Batteries of Thermostatically Controlled Loads: Real-Time Control System and Potential in Spain

نویسندگان

چکیده

Load flexibility management is a promising approach to face the problem of balancing generation and demand in electrical grids. This becoming increasingly difficult due variability renewable energies. Thermostatically-controlled loads can be aggregated managed by virtual battery, they provide cost-effective efficient alternative physical storage systems mitigate inherent energy sources. However batteries require that an accurate control system capable tracking frequency regulation signals with minimal error. A real-time allowing accurately track or power developed. The performance this controller validated for battery composed 1000 thermostatically-controlled loads. Using equipped developed controller, study focused on residential Spain performed. results quantify potential technology country different climate areas provides insight about feasibility as enablers high levels penetration

Modeling and Control of Thermostatically Controlled Loads

As the penetration of intermittent energy sources grows substantially, loads will be required to play an increasingly important role in compensating the fast timescale fluctuations in generated power. Recent numerical modeling of thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) has demonstrated that such load following is feasible, but analytical models that satisfactorily quantify the aggregate power ...

Efficient Desynchronization of Thermostatically Controlled Loads

This paper considers demand side management in smart power grid systems containing significant numbers of thermostatically controlled loads such as air conditioning systems, heat pumps, etc. Recent studies have shown that the overall power consumption of such systems can be regulated up and down centrally by broadcasting small setpoint change commands without significantly impacting consumer co...

Learning to Shift Thermostatically Controlled Loads

Demand response is a key mechanism for accommodating renewable power in the electric grid. Models of loads in demand response programs are typically assumed to be known a priori, leaving the load aggregator the task of choosing the best command. However, accurate load models are often hard to obtain. To address this problem, we propose an online learning algorithm that performs demand response ...

Formal Synthesis and Validation of Inhomogeneous Thermostatically Controlled Loads

This work discusses the construction of a finite-space stochastic dynamical model as the aggregation of the continuous temperature dynamics of an inhomogeneous population of thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs). The temperature dynamics of a TCL is characterized by a differential equation in which the TCL status (ON, OFF) is controlled by a thresholding mechanism, and which displays inhomog...

Best-Response Planning of Thermostatically Controlled Loads under Power Constraints

Renewable power sources such as wind and solar are inflexible in their energy production, which requires demand to rapidly follow supply to maintain an energy balance. Promising controllable demands are heat buffers that use electricity to maintain a temperature at a setpoint. Such Thermostatically Controlled Loads (TCLs) have been shown to be able to follow a power curve using reactive control...
