Electric vehicle fleet management in smart grids: A review of services, optimization and control aspects (2016, neutral): “From the discussions [17], [18], it is generally accepted that for the centralized control the decisions are made on the system-level and therefore it can give better results such as ensuring the security of the power systems; however, the cost of communication infrastructure would be high for…”
State Estimation and Control of Electric Loads to Manage Real-Time Energy Imbalance (2013, background): “Thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs), such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and electric water heaters, are excellent candidates for providing these services because they are capable of storing thermal energy, much like a battery stores chemical energy [9].”
A Geometric Approach to Aggregate Flexibility Modeling of Thermostatically Controlled Loads (2016, background): “Recent studies show that deep penetration of variable generations into the power grid requires substantial reserves from the generation side and flexible consumption via demand response [3]–[5].”
Design and Stability of Load-Side Primary Frequency Control in Power Systems (2013, background): “Even though classical models for power system dynamics [2]–[4] that focus on the generator control can be adapted to include load adaptation, they do not consider the cost, or disutility, to the load in participating in frequency control, an important aspect of such an approach [6], [12]–[14].”
Smart households: Dispatch strategies and economic analysis of distributed energy storage for residential peak shaving (2015, background): “DR with storage provides new opportunities to enable DR without curtailing actual appliance usage [13].”
Challenges and barriers to demand response deployment and evaluation (2015, background): “In [43] it is explained that there are two objectives of demand which is involved in a DR program: satisfy customer demand and deliver a reliable resource to the power system when required.”
Decentralized charging control for large populations of plug-in electric vehicles (2010, methodology): “Care must be taken to ensure charging strategies cannot inadvertently synchronize the responses of large numbers of PEVs, as the resulting abrupt changes in aggregate demand could potentially destabilize grid operations [7].”
Optimal scheduling of aggregated thermostatically controlled loads with renewable generation in the intraday electricity market (2017, background): “First of all, due to great proportion in electricity consumption and thermal energy storage capability [1,2], a series of direct load control methods have been developed to control aggregated thermostatically controlled loads for a set of purposes.”
Arbitraging Intraday Wholesale Energy Market Prices With Aggregations of Thermostatic Loads (2015, background): “Since consumers are satisfied if temperatures are within their chosen dead-bands, we can extract flexibility from an aggregation of TCLs by controlling them in ways that change their mode switching patterns without causing them to leave their dead-bands [6].”
Foundations and Challenges of Low-Inertia Systems (Invited Paper) (2018, background): “A switched distributed controller is designed for each load bus in a transmission network which achieves the dual goals of being fully responsive and non-disruptive [192].”
Using peer-to-peer energy-trading platforms to incentivize prosumers to form federated power plants (2018, background): “Indirect coordination strategies are useful when the benefits of direct control are outweighed by the cost of communications and processing infrastructure, or when prosumers are unwilling to grant a VPP operator direct access and control 13,52 .”
Using Residential Electric Loads for Fast Demand Response: The Potential Resource and Revenues, the Costs, and Policy Recommendations (2012, background): “A carefully designed load control scheme should allow us to control TCL power consumption to track a desired trajectory (e.g., market signal or automatic generation control signal) without a noticeable effect on end-use function (Callaway & Hiskens 2011).”
